Some of us (including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meteo.psu.edu\/holocene\/public_html\/Mann\/lectures\/index.php\">Mike<\/a>) are attending and will try and give some highlights as the week goes along. <\/p>\n<p>Some obvious highlights (that will be live-streamed) are the Bjerknes lecture from Brian Hoskins about the Hadley Cell (Tues. 8am), Ulrike Lohmann on clouds in the Charney lecture (Tues. 9am). The Hydroclimatic extremes session on Wednesday morning is being live-streamed and should be very apropos given recent discussions. Peter de Menocal is giving the Emiliani lecture (Wed. 10:20am) on the connections between paleo-climate and human evolution.  Not related to climate so much, the sessions on the Rosetta\/Philae science will also be viewable (Wednesday). The <a href=\"https:\/\/agu.confex.com\/agu\/fm14\/meetingapp.cgi#Paper\/5380\">Lorenz lecture<\/a> is being given by Demetris Koutsoyiannis a hydrologist whose work on climate statistics has been commented on here <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclimate.org\/index.php\/archives\/2008\/08\/hypothesis-testing-and-long-term-memory\/\" title=\"Hypothesis testing and long range memory\">before<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/agu.confex.com\/agu\/fm14\/meetingapp.cgi#Session\/3977\">Schnieder and Tyndall lectures<\/a> are being given by Chris Field and Kelly Redmond on Thursday afternoon. <\/p>\n<p>Another interesting presentation is from the group behind <a href=\"http:\/\/climatefeedback.org\/blog\/AGU-2014.html\">&#8220;Climate Feedback&#8221;<\/a> &#8211; which is a new initiative to help annotate climate science related journalism on Thursday evening (6:30 pm onwards, including a hackathon!). There are also a couple of &#8220;SWIRLs&#8221; (connected presentations and sessions) on <a href=\"https:\/\/agu.confex.com\/agu\/fm14\/meetingapp.cgi#Swirl\/68\">Characterising Uncertainty<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/agu.confex.com\/agu\/fm14\/meetingapp.cgi#Swirl\/6043\">Global change: Science Literacy, Societal Impacts, and Response Strategies<\/a> that should give a broad range of perspectives on the topics.<\/p>\n<p>As was available last year, AGU and the <a href=\"http:\/\/climatesciencedefensefund.org\/\">Climate Science Legal Defense Fund<\/a> have organised a facility for individual consultations with a lawyer (by appointment via lawyer@climatesciencedefensefund.org) for people either who have found themselves involved in legal proceedings associated with their science or people who are just interested in what they might need to be prepared for. <\/p>\n<p>There are obviously many individual presentations that will be of interest, but too many to list here.
