[CIG-ALL] AGU FM Tutorials...

[Scott King]

It seems to me that CIGers are well positioned to organize one or more of these.   There is presently a lack of solid Earth participation (if you look at the last link).  


Tutorials
This Fall Meeting has a new session type called tutorials. These are described further here: https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/session-proposals/tutorial-proposals/ <https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/session-proposals/tutorial-proposals/>. The tutorial sessions were pioneered at the Ocean Science meeting. Each tutorial will be 30 minutes in length and related to one main topic—examples from the recent Ocean Sciences meeting are here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/os18/meetingapp.cgi/Program/1427 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/os18/meetingapp.cgi/Program/1427>. These were some of the most popular sessions at the meeting.
 
We will have room for only about 15 or so of these sessions at the Fall Meeting this year (less than one per section). The experience from the Ocean Science meeting is that these sessions are best when they are organized and planned by the scientific leadership (that is YOU!!!). We thus encourage you to plan and solicit submissions from your members around a specific topic. We encourage related sections to work together. Another reason to have these planned is that many of the tutorial sessions may also be used for some of our policy outreach related to the Fall Meeting. These will continue at future Fall Meetings, so we can cover other topics then.
 
Current submissions are listed here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/preliminaryview.cgi/Program1880 <https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/preliminaryview.cgi/Program1880>. Please look over these and to see if they are what you would like to represent from your section. If not, please encourage others.
 
Final selection will be at the Fall Meeting Program Committee meeting in May. Please communicate your tutorial priorities with your representatives for this meeting.
