Hot Topic Call: Uncertainty, Climate Change Science and Reefs

 

Join us for a live webinar on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, to discuss "Uncertainty, Climate Change Science and Reefs."  Our panelists will answer questions around the general issues of scientific accuracy and "climate-gate," how coral reef conservation could be affected by last month's scientific media storm, how global data sets get distorted, and how marine resource managers can continue to conserve coral reefs in the face of scientific uncertainty.

 

PANELISTS:

 

Mark Spalding, Senior Marine Scientist, The Nature Conservancy

Paul Marshall, Director, Climate Change, Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority

Mark Eakin, Coordinator, NOAA Coral Reef Watch

 

TIME:

 

12th January 2010, 5:00 pm EST

 

QUESTIONS FOR PANELISTS: If you already have questions in mind you would like the panelists to address, please email them ahead of time to resilience@tnc.org <mailto:resilience@tnc.org> .  You will also have the opportunity to ask questions during the webinar.
