Dear Oregon coastal and GIS colleagues/students:

You are invited to participate at your own convenience in a unique  
online activity called Voicing Climate Concerns (log in to http://www.climateconcerns.org 
  ). The site is an innovative online workshop enabling input of  
concerns about climate change along the Oregon Coast.

This is a new citizen involvement effort could really use your help by  
registering and participating online now, or notifying someone you  
know who might be most interested in the opportunity (please feel free  
to forward this announcement via e-mail).

About Voicing Climate Concerns: Voicing Climate Concerns (www.climateconcerns.org 
) is an Internet-based tool designed to help people understand each  
other’s concerns about the impacts of climate change on the Oregon  
coast. In a series of steps that just started, with Step 1 beginning  
this week on September 21, 2009 and continuing throughout the week,  
and taking a total of roughly five hours across five weeks, project  
participants synthesize climate concerns in an online facilitated  
process that will lead to the collaborative selection of a set of  
indicators. Voicing Climate Concerns is being conducted as a  
partnership between researchers at Oregon State University and the  
University of Washington, in cooperation with the Oregon Coastal  
Management Program’s Oregon Coastal Atlas. The research project is  
funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
