– a CliC endorsed and supported effort
The Permafrost Carbon Research Coordination Network (RCN) will be convening a session at the upcoming fall American Geophysical Union meeting (AGU). The session, B071. Vulnerability o Permafrost Carbon to Climate Change, has received 53 abstracts and has been allocated three oral time slots. The annual meeting of the network will also be taking place in conjunction with AGU, and is being held at the Intercontenental Hotel on 8 December in San Francisco.
