NOTE: Climate Change Science Conference - Portland Sep 5-7, 2007

(Conference program with Audio, Video, and Presentations)

EOS published a summary of the meeting. Power point presentations from invited speakers are available. They are also on line on the intranet TNC site: http://home.tnc/workingattnc/learningattnc/communications/art22545.html

A few pictures from the conference. Also a few pictures about the art show.

The TNC internal journal @tnc published a short article on the art show that took place during the conference.
