abstract: This symposium will examine the mitigation and adaptation of planning for climate change. The symposium is open to researchers and scientists on an interdisciplinary journey of discovery and mutual learning.

abstract: The Symposium is organized every four years by the International Radiation Commission (IRC, President: Dr. Teruyuki Nakajima), and this edition will be hosted jointly by Instituto de Astronomia, Geofísica e Ciências Atmosféricas and Instituto de Física from Universidade de Sao Paulo , Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais – Centro de Previsão de Tempo e Estudos Climáticos, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and Universidade Federal de Itajubá.

This will be the first edition in South America and is an opportunity to share ideas and experiences on the current problems in atmospheric radiation from theory and modeling to measurements and applications on weather and climate. The official language of this symposium is English.

abstract: This conference provides a forum for interaction between mountain meteorology and climatology communities, and highlight climate observation networks. Topics include observing systems in remote and difficult environments, climate patterns in complex terra

abstract: The conference focus will exchange information among mountain meteorology researchers and operational weather forecasters, particularly those who will be forecasting for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Topics include winter weather forecasting, orographic preci

abstract: This workshop provides an opportunity to present the latest information and research on tropical peatlands. Topics covered are biodiversity and conservation; hydrology and water resource; forestry and agriculture land use; climate change and air quality;

abstract: The conference will focus on the current state of knowledge of ongoing changes in climatic conditions in different regions of the world, and the implications of these changes for forest management and conservation.

abstract: The NCCR Climate, Switzerland's Centre of Excellence in Climate and Climate Impact Research, invites young scientists to join leading climate researchers in a scenic southern Swiss alpine setting.

abstract: The conference primary brings together the United Kingdom Ph.D. student community whose studies are in meteorology, atmospheric, and oceanic sciences. This conference offers an opportunity to present and discuss their work in an informal environment.

abstract: The conference will examine the potentially important roles of lakes and reservoirs in global climate change, particularly regarding changes in the flux of energy, water and carbon into, within, and out of lake basins.

abstract: The workshop focuses on the determination of long-term trends and changes, and the quantification of the role of anthropogenic changes (primarily greenhouse effect) versus Suns effects in the observed trends.

abstract: The theme “Oceans, Poles and Climate: Technological Challenges” will enable scientists and engineers from all over the world to discuss and debate the technological challenges raised by the study of the on-going transformation of Polar and non-polar oceans

abstract: The BIOCAT (Biogeochemical Interactions between the Ocean and the Atmosphere) Summer School has the goal to advance education of the next generation of environmental scientists.

abstract: This summer program will bring together the atmospheric and oceanic components of Mediterranean climate variability providing education across disciplines. Topics include the global and regional atmospheric mechanisms dominating the Mediterranean Climate,

abstract: MedCLIVAR aims to coordinate and promote research on the Mediterranean climate. The main goals include reconstruction of its past evolution, description of patterns and mechanisms characterizing its space-time variability, and identification of the forcing parameters responsible for the observed changes. Emphasis is put on identification of trends present in observational records as well as on climate predictions under future emission scenarios. The study of the occurrence of extreme events -closely related to climate variability and change- and of climate change impacts is also included in MedCLIVAR.

abstract: The conference goal is to enhance the role of the forest sector in implementation of national and international programs on climate change mitigation and adaptation.

abstract: This symposium will be held in conjunction with the Beringia Days 2008 International Conference, which is part of the International Polar Year (IPY) event.

abstract: The conference will bring together a diverse group to discuss recent advances in the understanding of processes related to, and new methods for observing, atmospheric water vapor. A field trip is planned to the NOAA observatory on Mauna Loa.

abstract: The purpose of this conference is to offer broadcast meteorologists an opportunity to broaden their meteorological knowledge, especially with respect to regional challenges in forecasting.

abstract: The symposium theme is “Drastic Change under the Global Warming.” Topics discussed include changes of the Arctic climate and sub-systems, extensive process studies on the atmosphere-ocean-land system in the Arctic.

abstract: This conference is a crucial step to prepare the conclusion of the new global framework for the period after 2012.

abstract: Atmospheric Science including: Climate, Composition/Chemistry, Weather, Modeling, Measurements & Technologies. Scientific programme committee: John Pyle (Cambridge; Chair), Alan Blyth (Leeds), Alastair Lewis (York), Stephen Mobbs (Leeds), Julia Slingo (Reading), Geraint Vaughan (Manchester)

abstract: The conference will focus on climate change and Arctic issues, specifically, the health of Northerners, melting ice-sea, intercontinental shipping, and resource exploration.

abstract: The workshop will focus on the changing status of the Mediterranean circulation and sea level and their link with climate change.

abstract: The University of Copenhagen is hosting an international scientific congress on climate change under the heading "Climate Change: Global Risks, Challenges and Decisions", 10-12 March 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The congress is organised in cooperation with nine other universities in the International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU).

The main aim of the congress is to provide a synthesis of existing and emerging scientific knowledge necessary in order to make intelligent societal decisions concerning application of mitigation and adaptation strategies in response to climate change.

The congress aims to identify and synthesise the science, technology and policy advances required in order to ensure sustainability of global communities in the current and coming decades.

The findings of the congress will be supplementary to the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The congress will provide a summary of existing scientific knowledge two years after the last IPCC report.
