Please provide a score for each category, determine if the image ranks as "Yes", "No", "Hold for Now", and return your completed Excel scoresheet to darrylw@stanford.edu, copying cpbvk@juno.com by Wednesday, December 15. The third set of images will be sent Friday, December 17, with a return date no later than December 22nd. If there are more images to evaluate, a fourth set will be sent Friday, December 24, with a return date no later than December 29. Apologies for the holiday work. The first week of January we'll determine the finalists. This will allow only three weeks to confer with researchers, and have the artists review their entries, so there's virtually no wiggle room. Thank you very much for your participation on the jury, and good luck. If you have any questions, please let us know. |

Changing Climate, Changing Approaches: Conservation in the Face of Climate Change [Jurists-- the link is: (from AAAS summary) "whether standard efforts or more radical, transformative approaches are appropriate for habitat conservation, and the importance of evolutionary change as a potential component of species and ecosystem resilience. ...or as this painting shows what happens to the Emerald Toucanet and the Spiny-headed Treefrog as the tropical cloud forests begins to dry-up?".] |

From Artificial Limbs to Virtual Reality: How the Brain Represents the Body [Jurists-- the link is: (from AAAS summary) "answers to the question of how we perceive our own bodies and interact with our world are just emerging"... here the artist notes that his central figure is engineering the biomechanical animals around him, creating his own world from metal, wire, and ultimately ones and zeros", a work that emerged from "a meditation on the nature of reality and what we perceive as real.] |

Category: LAND AND OCEANS Topic: 102. Invasive Species: What Harm Do They Do? [Jurists-- the link: The simple ecologies of islands like the Galapagos are particularly vulnerable to catastrophic invasions of new species. A focus of Galapagos wildlife managers has been the control of invasive rats, cats and dogs which prey on the endemic Marine Iguanas (Amblyrhynchus cristatus). |

[Jurists-- the link is: (from AAAS summary)[this] symposium highlights cutting-edge interdisciplinary research on marine ecosystem–based management, marine spatial planning, and coupled social-ecological systems that puts humans back into marine systems in a variety of social, ecological, and geographical contexts.... the image points out the role of invasive species in the vulnerability of one Galapagos species and endangerment of another, suggesting the human component.] |

Category: LAND AND OCEANS Topic: 95. 2050: Will There Be Fish in the Ocean? [Jurists-- the link is: (from AAAS summary) "can the marine environment continue to supply goods and services while maintaining biodiversity? ...the artist notes that the evolutionary sequence is going backwards.... Jellyfish are already being exploited as a substitute food source.] |

The artist portrays how CO2,taken up by the oceans forms a weak acid that threatens marine organisms that produce calcium carbonate that will require more than a "standard effort" to reverse.] |

Comparing National Responses to Climate Change: Networks of Debate and Contention [Jurists-- the link is: (from AAAS summary) "The relative effect of persuasion and learning via stakeholder forums versus political contention and regulatory imposition in different countries provides a broad comparison. The artist notes that problems in Africa are vastly different from those of Canada, but her painting shows that the potential results look similar.] |

Category: CLIMATE CHANGE [Jurists-- the link is: (from AAAS summary) "these data reveal the eustatic signal masked by an overprint of regional processes...this image can serve as a reminder that local conservation efforts still rely on eustatic data, even though small local variations in currents and water level may be key to local conservation efforts.]
