OCCRI Conference and Retreat
Date: June 24-25, 2009
The conference highlights research within the OUS related to climate change. Anyone is welcome to attend. The retreat provides a venue for OCCRI researchers to articulate a vision for climate change research. The retreat is restriced to OUS faculty.
