Too Much and Not Enough Workshop @ Chabot

One-day climate change workshop, entitled “ Too Much and Not Enough at Chabot Space & Science Center on October 10, 2009.  This one-day workshop will explore water issues for the Bay Area and California in a changing climate environment. You will also have the opportunity to speak with staff from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other local, regional, and national climate science experts about how climate change may affect water systems in California and specifically in the Bay Area. NOAA will also be preparing specific climate related data visualizations that we will present in our planetarium.

Specific topics to be addressed are potential climate change impacts on the redwood ecosystem sea level rise freshwater resources. The morning starts with light snacks at 9:00 am. At 9:30 we will present state-of-the-art graphic digital visualizations in the planetarium provided by NOAA. Guest presenters will also share their specialized knowledge about climate change and its connection to water systems. The afternoon will include three topical break-out groups as well as a special youth oriented session. In these sessions we will continue the morning discussion and include how citizens can get more deeply involved in the focus topics. The day will end with an all group discussion and wrap-up, including identified next steps. The workshop ends at 4:00 pm.
