8th ANNUAL NOAA CREST SYMPOSIUM 2013
CLIMATE AND EXTREME WEATHER IMPACTS ON URBAN COASTAL COMMUNITIES
LOCATION : The City College of New York
DATE : June 5-6, 2013
The 8th Annual NOAA CREST Symposium will be held on June 5 through 6th 2013 at the CUNY/City College of New York. June 5th is observed as World Environment Day by UNEP worldwide and will thus be befitting to kick off our 8th Annual CREST Symposium where individuals from different research areas will all come together to discuss common urban coastal environmental issues.
The recent extreme weather patterns that hit the North East of the Continental US left even the politicians to think about climate and extreme weather events, > and why 100 year flood happen more frequently.
This year's NOAA CREST Symposium will assemble government administrators, climatologists, scholars, researchers, economists, social scientists and the media for a 2 day symposium. Participants will be able to share research ideas and results and have the opportunity to develop professional networks with other scientishts and educators from various agencies and groups including NOAA, NASA and other federal agencies.
