GIIPSY/STG Communications Strategy • Presentations at Conferences and Symposia (e.g. Fall AGU; SCAR-IASC IPY Symposium, St. Petersburg, July 2008) • Peer Review Publications • EOS; Space Research Today; Environmental Geology; • Imaging Notes; • Coordinated Web Articles and independent IPY Web stories • EarthZine; ESA Web; DLR Web • ESA IPY DVD release • Exhibits??
STG Communications • Goals: • To have coordinated, multi-agency IPY STG communications effort at Oslo IPY Open Science Conference in June 2010. • To highlight progress towards achieving STG/GIIPSY high level product goals – at Oslo IPY Open Science Conference • To publish Review paper in EOS or other such journal indicating success of STG.
The 2010 IPY-OSC science program will consist of 50-100 oral sessions and an undetermined number of poster sessions classified under five main themes: • Linkages between polar regions and global systems; • Past, present and future changes in polar regions; • Polar ecosystems and biodiversity; • Human dimensions of change: health, society and resources; • New frontiers and new directions in polar research. • I serve on Science SubCommittee - Theme 5: New frontiers and new directions in polar research • Special Session: “IPY polar snapshots and satellite monitoring: new results and scientific achievements”
OSLO Visual Exhibit • To consider having a Space Exhibit at the Oslo Conference Facility • 3-4 Best, spectacular examples from each Space Agency, accompanied by credit/acknowledgement and short Caption • All in large poster-format (colour or B/W). • Links to Presentations in Theme 5 Special Session
