FROM: Brian O'Neill, CGD Climate and Human Systems Project
SUBJECT: Invitation to attend the December 3, 2013 Meeting
of the Climate and Human Systems Project
Dear Colleagues,
As some of you may know, CGD created a new cross-cutting
project earlier this year called the Climate and Human
Systems Project (CHSP), intended to foster work across the
physical, human, and ecological dimensions of climate change
within CGD, as well as between CGD, other parts of NCAR and
external partners. We have been meeting monthly within CGD
since June to decide on initial goals of the project, and
concluded that a main activity would be carrying out a
cross-cutting research project that included all three of
these dimensions of the climate issue. We decided to focus
on the topic of avoided impacts; that is, the reduction in
impacts that would occur if the world achieved a lower level
of climate change as compared to a higher one. These impacts
will include physical impacts on the climate system as well
as ecological and societal impacts.
We would like to invite anyone who might be interested in
participating in
this study to attend the next CHSP meeting on December 3,
2013 at 2:00pm in the Mesa Lab Damon Room. We will outline
there the current plan and discuss any additions,
modifications, or feedback you might have. For more
information, you can have a look at the project website
(http://chsp.ucar.edu/), in particular the project wiki
which contains
notes and slides from previous meetings, and a draft outline
of the study
on avoided impacts (access the wiki through the "Internal |
Login" link on
the right side of the page).
I realize not everyone who might be interested will be able
to make this
meeting, due to schedule conflicts. Joining us at a future
meeting will
always be possible, and in the meantime you can get in touch
with me with
any questions or thoughts you might want to offer.
Thanks, Brian
