date: Wed Jul 2 09:17:18 2008 from: Phil Jones subject: Re: [Wg1-ar4-las] Request for Outreach Information to: IPCC WGI TSU Dear WG1 TSU, I've given several talks - on both the whole WG1 and also on Chapter 3. UK Royal Society in March 2007 - Chapter 3 French Academy also in March 2007 - Chapters 3/6 Korean Meteorological Society also in March 2007 - Chapters 3,6 and 9 Summer school (organized by Qin Dahe) at CMA, July 2007- Chapters 3, 6 and 9 Teaching at UEA last autumn. Summer School this July 2008 in Germany - whole report (based on my modifications to Susan's 30 slide talk). Spanish climate meeting in Tarragona, Spain October 2008 Most media requests died down quickly after the Paris meeting, but there were resurgences after the WG2, WG3 plenaries and again after Valencia. Unfortunate side effect has been Freedom of Information Act (UK) requests related to IPCC rules and who made changes to Chapter 6. Dealing with these with Keith Briffa and Tim Osborn through UEA FOI person. Our responses to these appear on Climate Audit quite soon after they leave here. John Mitchell (MOHC) is also being affected by these. Cheers Phil At 17:32 01/07/2008, you wrote: Dear Colleagues, The TSU is currently compiling information regarding the dissemination of the findings of the Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. We recognize that it is often impossible to separate the presentation of IPCC WG1 findings from your own research or general science material when giving talks. We would greatly appreciate it if you could provide us with a very short summary of your presentations of the WG1 material given at conferences, workshops, briefings, and/or other outreach related events since the approval and acceptance of the WG1 AR4. A sample paragraph is shown below, but please feel free to add more detail if you wish. We realize that this is not a trivial request for many of you, but your activities will provide us with key information on how the AR4 was disseminated by our authors. We kindly request that you provide any information by 21 July 2008. Many thanks in advance. Best regards, WGI TSU SAMPLE: Since the AR4, I frequently give talks on IPCC WG1 and climate at [schools, local communities, other], typically X times per month. I also have presented WG1 material at XX scientific meetings, including YY, ZZ, and AA. I also briefed the governor of my province and gave a presentation at the Science Academy of XX. _______________________________________________ Wg1-ar4-las mailing list Wg1-ar4-las@joss.ucar.edu [1]http://lists.joss.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/wg1-ar4-las Prof. Phil Jones Climatic Research Unit Telephone +44 (0) 1603 592090 School of Environmental Sciences Fax +44 (0) 1603 507784 University of East Anglia Norwich Email p.jones@uea.ac.uk NR4 7TJ UK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
