20th Biennial Joint AMS/AGU Heads and Chairs Meeting

13 – 14 October 2016 Boulder, CO

Theme: Forecast for the Future of Our Discipline
 
The 2016 AMS/AGU Joint Heads and Chairs Meeting will focus on several complex issues facing academic programs in the geosciences in the near future. A session on the role of academic departments in communicating science issues to policy makers is particularly relevant in this presidential election year.  Other sessions focus on challenges associated with data storage and access, technological innovations providing new opportunities for education and research, and a discussion of the upcoming 2017 revision of the AMS Statement on the Bachelor’s Degree in Atmospheric Science.  The meeting will also include an extended open discussion with new UCAR President Tony Busalacchi.
