From the ECC:
North Carolina Sea Level Rise Forum Registration Open
The N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is
hosting a Science Forum on Sea Level Rise in North Carolina on January
14-15, 2010. The forum will be the vehicle through which the N.C.
Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) will release a preliminary report
on the current and projected rates of sea level rise in North
Carolina. The report will project sea level rise ranges in 25-year
intervals through 2100. The CRC, as well as other DENR agencies, can
use these metrics as the foundation for policy development and
adaptation planning. Anyone is welcome to register, including state
and local officials, resource managers, emergency managers, planners,
infrastructure providers (e.g., transportation and utilities),
conservationists, private sector, and other interested parties.
Registration is now open and is limited to 250 people. There is no
cost to register. To register, please send an email to
Tancred...@ncdenr.gov with your name, title and affiliation,
mailing address, and telephone number.
