Sessions

Title: The Second State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR-2): Assessing the Last Decades' Science of the Carbon Cycle across North America and Adjacent Oceans I & II

1. POSTERS Tuesday, 13 December 2016; 08:00 - 12:20 ; Moscone South Poster Hall** and

2. ORAL Tuesday, 13 December 2016; 13:40 - 15:40; Moscone West 3007*

Town Halls

1. Developing the 2nd State of the Carbon Cycle Report - Interagency engagement opportunities with the community

Date and Time: Thursday, 15 December 2016: 12:30 - 13:30 Location: Moscone West 2006

Synopsis: Led by the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program, the ‘2nd State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR-2)’, an ongoing interagency USGCRP Sustained Assessment activity, focuses on U.S. and North American carbon cycle processes, stocks, and flows and associated climate change impacts in managed and unmanaged systems, including soils, oceans, rivers, wetlands, coasts/blue carbon, urban areas, agriculture and forestry. Featuring SOCCR-2 updates and relevant carbon management science perspectives and tools for supporting and informing decisions, as pertinent to the White House Climate Action Plan, U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Plan and National Climate Assessment, this public engagement activity will brainstorm next steps in the report development, review and production process, including outreach and dissemination ideas with the AGU community.

2. Awards & Grants Advancing Your Early Earth Science Career: Multi-agency Perspectives

Date and Time: Thursday, 15 December 2016: 18:15 - 19:15 Location: Moscone West, 2020 S

Synopsis: Career development and success in science is achieved with early knowledge & skills to navigate pathways to successful grants & awards. This town hall will help graduate students & scientists at all levels understand this navigation & help diversify the talent pool for such opportunities. Jointly organized by the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program & Earth Science Women’s Network, this event will provide information on pre- & post-doctoral research grants, Early Career Awards & other federal grant opportunities. Program managers from U.S. funding agencies will provide tips for maximizing success, including pathways for accessing information & engaging with funding agencies. (U.S. CLIVAR will also be part of the panel.)
