<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><span> </span>The theme for the 2016 AMS Annual
Meeting, “<b>Earth System Science in
Service to Society</b>”, </span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">weaves
the many parts of AMS into a common core. Emphasizing the academic and research
strength of AMS, the theme also connects that research to the benefits that
society gains from our science. AMS merges the physical, chemical, and
biological study of the Earth with human-centered “domains of action”: (1)
Observing, (2) Analysis and research leading to understanding, (3) Modeling and
prediction, and (4) Social sciences – how people deal with Earth. “Service to
Society” explicitly evokes the integrated and complementary government and
commercial enterprise that the AMS has done so much to foster over the last
decade.<span> </span>The 2016 meeting integrates AMS’
proud, nearly 100-year history of making a positive difference in the lives of
our citizens by continually communicating the advances of its science research
to the public and policy makers.<span> </span></span></p>
