Dear Oregon coastal and GIS colleagues/students:
You are invited to participate at your own convenience in a unique
online activity called Voicing Climate Concerns (log in to http://www.climateconcerns.org
). The site is an innovative online workshop enabling input of
concerns about climate change along the Oregon Coast.
This is a new citizen involvement effort could really use your help by
registering and participating online now, or notifying someone you
know who might be most interested in the opportunity (please feel free
to forward this announcement via e-mail).
About Voicing Climate Concerns: Voicing Climate Concerns (www.climateconcerns.org
) is an Internet-based tool designed to help people understand each
other’s concerns about the impacts of climate change on the Oregon
coast. In a series of steps that just started, with Step 1 beginning
this week on September 21, 2009 and continuing throughout the week,
and taking a total of roughly five hours across five weeks, project
participants synthesize climate concerns in an online facilitated
process that will lead to the collaborative selection of a set of
indicators. Voicing Climate Concerns is being conducted as a
partnership between researchers at Oregon State University and the
University of Washington, in cooperation with the Oregon Coastal
Management Program’s Oregon Coastal Atlas. The research project is
funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
