The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is accepting abstracts for their Fall Meeting. This conference will take place 13-17 December 2021 in New Orleans, Louisiana and online.
The following sessions invite abstracts:
Session SY033: Science and Society: Science Policy
Conveners: Gifford J. Wong, Kevin A. Reed, James Scott Neely, and Brittany Webster
From the COVID-19 pandemic to climate change and beyond, science is essential for developing effective and equitable public policies. Scientists have the responsibility to provide timely, evidence-based, objective analysis to policy makers and decision makers throughout all levels of government. In this session, conveners seek to shine a light on the science community’s recent efforts to restore faith in the role of science in policy, from local- and community-level engagement to Federal policy making. Conveners encourage abstract submissions that highlight specific science-based public policy initiatives as well as abstracts more broadly focused on science policy collaborations. Conveners welcome submissions from scientists, policy makers, and science advocates who have worked at the interface of science and public policy. Conveners especially want to highlight science communication and engagement practices that enable effective collaborations between scientists and policymakers.

Session C029: Remote Sensing of the Cryosphere: Sea Ice
Conveners: Walt Meier, Ludovic Brucker, and Randall K. Scharien
Sea ice is at the ocean-atmosphere interface and it plays a major role in the Earth's climate system. Sea ice changes in the Arctic and Antarctic occur at large and small spatial scales, and with a wide temporal window from seconds to years. Remote sensing methods can provide data at all these scales and the range of different techniques available (e.g., microwave, visible, and infrared; active and passive; polarimetric, interferometric and hyperspectral, etc.) has made remote sensing a fundamental tool for the study of sea ice and its geophysical properties. This session aims to share recent progress made in the development and application of remote sensing techniques to study sea ice, including applications for model evaluations, process studies, and interdisciplinary investigations. In particular, conveners encourage submissions of recent remote sensing opportunities, including CRYO2ICE, MOSAiC, the use commercial sensors, and preparation for upcoming missions, such as NISAR.
