Please note that the draft will undergo full-reformating before hardcopies become available. Ray Najjar, PSU and co-editor of the STAC climate change white paper, will present the subsequent climate change presentation at the meeting. The presentation, developed by Nina Fisher, an independent technical writer, will be used to visually summarize the paper’s findings and recommendations for a broader, lay-oriented audience.
