Support for the Second Annual Pacific Northwest Climate Science Conference

The Northwest Climate Conference (formerly called the Pacific Northwest Climate Science Conference) is the premier climate science event for the region, providing a forum for researchers and practitioners to share scientific results and discuss challenges and solutions related to the impacts of climate change on people, natural resources, and infrastructure in the Northwest. Conference participants include policy- and decision-makers, resource managers, and scientists from academia, public agencies, sovereign tribal nations, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. More information can be found at the conference website: http://pnwclimateconference.org.

The Second Annual Pacific Northwest Climate Science Conference was held at the University of Washington's Kane Hall in Seattle, Washington from September 13-14, 2011. Funding through this project helped to offset conference costs (e.g., facilities, supplies and materials, website development, registration logistics, outreach support, tribal and student scholarships, speaker travel). Conference attendance and sponsorship ensures information-sharing and coordination among the Northwest Climate Science Center and its partners and stakeholders.
