The American Geophysical Union and the U.S. Academic Alliance for the IPCC today open calls for U.S. researchers to self-nominate as experts, authors and review editors for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Seventh Assessment Report through a new application portal. USAA-IPCC is a newly established network of U.S. academic institutions registered as observers with the IPCC, and empowered to nominate experts for roles in IPCC reports. USAA-IPCC aims to increase awareness of authorship calls and facilitate nomination opportunities for experts in climate research and practice working in the United States.
