Climate Literacy: Science and Solutions in Multidisciplinary Higher Education I

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 15988

Session Description:
We wish to establish a broadly based curriculum for a senior level multidisciplinary University course on climate change science and solutions. Climate change is a critical topic for all members of society and certainly for all students in postsecondary education. This session welcomes a wide range of topic presentations on both the science of climate change and multidisciplinary solutions to our climate change challenges. An end result of this session will be an online textbook featuring short contributions from session participants and other invited specialists.
