Sea Level Rise 2010 Conference: Special Gulf of Mexico Alliance Session on Sea Level Rise

When: Wed., March 3, 2010—12:30 to 4:30 pm, Omni Bayfront Hotel, Corpus Christi, TX
What: A summary of current and planned sea level rise research and projects in the Gulf followed by an extended participant discussion of application and management needs.
Why: Sea Level Rise research and activities in the Gulf are burgeoning. SLR 2010 provides a great opportunity to assess "who is doing what" in the Gulf and how to align this SLR work with management needs.
Who: Researchers, coastal managers, local governments, and others in the Gulf that are engaged in or concerned with Sea Level Rise issues.
Sea Level Rise Speed Dating: This special session will begin at 12:30 with a "gourmet" box lunch and a series of compressed presentations on SLR work in the Gulf. If you are doing SLR work in the Gulf we invite you to make a brief presentation. The intent is to present a comprehensive inventory of 'who is doing what' in the Gulf relative to SLR.
Let's Talk About it: After this 'speed dating' sea level rise session there will be a facilitated discussion exploring how the Gulf of Mexico Alliance Issue Teams' work plans match up with the ongoing SLR research, data collection and decision support tools. This session will explore how existing efforts can inform decision-making, and identify additional information needs.
Summary: We feed you lunch and all you have to do is listen and talk about Sea Level Rise in the Gulf.
