Nominations for Coordinating Lead Authors, Lead Authors, or 
Review Editors on the Second and Third Special Reports to be Undertaken 
by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change During the Sixth 
Assessment Report (AR6) Cycle

    The United States Department of State, in cooperation with the 
United States Global Change Research Program, seeks nominations for 
U.S. scientists with requisite expertise to serve as Coordinating Lead 
Authors, Lead Authors, or Review Editors on the second and third 
Special Reports to be undertaken by the Intergovernmental Panel on 
Climate Change (IPCC) during the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) cycle. 
The outlines for ``Climate Change and Land: An IPCC Special Report on 
climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land 
management, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial 
ecosystems'' and for the ``IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and 
Cryosphere in a Changing Climate'' were adopted at the 45th session of 
the IPCC Plenary.
    Nominations may be submitted at https://contribute.globalchange.gov/; additional information can be found at 
http://www.globalchange.gov/notices. This is an Open Call. All 
registered users can nominate U.S. citizens and permanent lawful 
residents to be considered by the IPCC Science Steering Committee 
(SSC). The call for nominations will close on May 15th, 2017, and a 
nominations package will be transmitted on behalf of the U.S. IPCC 
Focal Point on May 17th. The SSC will complete its work and issue 
appointment memos in late July 2017.
    The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World 
Meteorological Organization (WMO) established the IPCC in 1988. In 
accordance with its mandate and as reaffirmed in various decisions by 
the Panel, the major activity of the IPCC is to prepare comprehensive 
and up-to-date assessments of policy-relevant scientific, technical, 
and socio-economic information for understanding the scientific basis 
of climate change, potential impacts, and options for mitigation and 
adaptation.

Director, Acting, Office of Global Change, Bureau of Oceans and
