<p class="MsoNormal">We invite you to consider submitting an abstract to the following Public Affairs session (PA013, described below). We hope that a very diverse range of geoscientists will take up
our challenge to communicate the value of their research in a format that is effective with policymakers and the public. Please note that you are allowed to submit an extra abstract to Public Affairs (PA). So if you have or are considering submitting 2 abstracts
in which you are the first author to other sections, you can still submit one more to PA.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whether the session is oral (with 5 minute talks) or posters (with posters prepared for policymakers and the public) we would like researchers from different disciplines and different
career levels to present and discuss science communication with policymakers. We hope you can consider a submission, which would ensure a successful session. The early abstract submission deadline is July 26 and the final deadline is August 2.<u></u><u></u></p>

session seeks brief and easy to understand descriptions via posters or lightning talks for outreach to the public and stakeholders, such as policymakers, emergency managers and/or others. There are no restrictions on your choice of words or images, but the
presentation should include some description about why the geoscience has value and what that value is.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
