Date: Tuesday 10 September 2019 17:45-19:00 | Room: SOWI Aula, University of Innsbruck | Presenter: MRI and GEO-GNOME
Taking place during the International Mountain Conference 2019, this event will showcase presentations to provide an overview on the latest scientific work undertaken by two MRI Working Groups: 1) MRI Elevation Dependent Warming Working Group; and 2) MRI Mountain Observatories Working Group.
The presentations will also include a recap on their respective past and future contributions to the work plan of the Group on Earth Observations initiative, the Global Network for Observations and Information in Mountain Environments, GEO-GNOME. Inputs from the GEO-GNOME work plan and its next phase from 2020-2022 will be introduced, with information on how to actively participate and contribute to be a part of this global network effort in this next phase.
An open Q&A segment will conclude this session, inviting feedback and discussions to reflect on some of the key challenges and opportunities for the scientific community in the development and implementation of connected and networked mountain observation efforts, worldwide. We encourage and invite the attending audience to also partake in this discussion and collectively learn about the scientific research community perspectives on how to scale and connect data and information for knowledge on mountain social-ecological systems.
