Support for the Third Annual Pacific Northwest Climate Science Conference

The Northwest Climate Conference (formerly called the Pacific Northwest Climate Science Conference) is the premier climate science event for the region, providing a forum for researchers and practitioners to share scientific results and discuss challenges and solutions related to the impacts of climate change on people, natural resources, and infrastructure in the Northwest. Conference participants include policy- and decision-makers, resource managers, and scientists from academia, public agencies, sovereign tribal nations, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. More information can be found at the conference website: http://pnwclimateconference.org.

The Third Annual Pacific Northwest Climate Science Conference was held at the Boise Centre in Boise, Idaho from October 1-2, 2012. Funding through this project helped provide travel scholarships for 17 students from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho to attend the conference, responding to the Training and Education objective outlined in the Northwest Climate Science Center Strategic Plan for 2012-2015. Conference attendance and sponsorship ensures information-sharing and coordination among the Northwest Climate Science Center and its partners and stakeholders.
