EarthTemp session at EGU 2014 - programme online

The programme for the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) in Vienna is now online. Our EarthTemp session on "Taking the temperature of the Earth", continuing last year's highly successful session, has been scheduled for Tuesday, 29. April 2014, at 10:30-12:00.

Our session will be one of the innovative PICO sessions. PICO (Presenting Interactive COntent) is a new session format developed by EGU designed to be more attractive and encourage more interaction between presenters and audience. In practice, this means that there will not be the traditional split between oral presentations and poster session. Each author will get his/her 2 minutes to present their work in front of the whole audience. Once this general presentation is over, each author gets their own screen and can show the complete presentation to anyone interested in the details, with plenty of time for discussions.

We are thrilled to try out this new format, as it supports the vision of the EarthTemp Network to experiment with new ways of encouraging dialogue and collaborations.
