Zusammenfassung: The First International Seminar on Theoretical Physics and National Development (ISOTPAND08) was held at the Merit House (Abuja, Nigeria) from August 25- 29, 2008. This first meeting was to pay tribute to Emeritus Professor Alexander Obiefoka Enukora Animalu who joined the prestigious ‘Age Club’ of three scores and ten on August 28, 2008, The event recorded a huge success because it was seen by all as an opportunity to give honour to who it was due.

Zusammenfassung: Over the last 25 years, Earth scientists have developed methodologies, known as proxies, to interpret geological archives of environmental change and natural hazards derived from marine and lacustrine sediments.

Zusammenfassung: The 31st International Cosmic Ray Conference, organized jointly by the Division of Experimental Physics of the University of Lódz and the Andrzej Soltan Institute for Nuclear Studies, will be held in July 7-15, 2009, in Lódz, Poland. Following the tradition of past International Cosmic Ray Conferences, the 31st ICRC will encompass a broad range of topics, covering cosmic ray physics, neutrino and gamma-ray astronomy, solar physics.

Zusammenfassung: This conference seeks to explain the dynamics of the core, mantle, and crust, as well as their interactions with one another.

Zusammenfassung: The 6th joint meeting of Chinese physicists worldwide (OCPA6)- International Conference on Physics Education and Frontier Physics Research will be organized by the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Science, Lanzhou University, and the Overseas Chinese Physics Association (OCPA) on August 3-7, 2009 in Lanzhou, China.

The conference continues a series held previously in Shantou (1994), Taipei (1997), Hong Kong (2000), Shanghai (2004) and Taipei (2006). The scientific program will feature invited talks in plenary sessions, invited and contributed talks in parallel sessions. Scientific topics will cover the latest experimental and theoretical developments in all subareas of physics. The educational program will cover new progress in physics education, public outreach, mentoring of undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.

The conference will be held on the site of Lanzhou University, located in the heart of the city of Lanzhou in Gansu province. It is within walking distance to the famed Yellow River bank.

Zusammenfassung: This joint conference will focus on uplift of the Tibetan Plateau (including Himalaya and Karakorum ranges), its environmental evolution and the sustainable development of the region.

Zusammenfassung: This conference provides an environment for mining geologists to exchange ideas and discuss the latest developments that impact on their work.

Zusammenfassung: In order to be effective and efficient in exploring common themes and methodologies across the CHESS disciplines, we have set out a fixed set of themes for each discipline along which we will explore commonalities. The set themes, across the CHESS disciplines are as follows:

• Computer Science: quantum computing; quantum entanglement; fuzzy logic; computer algebras; computing in society
• Humanities: sociology of economics; sociology of financial markets; metaphors and management of organizations; science and history
• Engineering, Education, Economics: preference modelling; rational beliefs; rational expectations; issues relating to modelling `economic man'; physics and social science (f.i. econophysics)
• Physics, Mathematics and related Sciences: complex systems, structures and symmetries in physical and life sciences, epistemology, philosophy of science, metaphors in science; statistical methods in theory and experiment
• Social Sciences: testing for physics phenomena in human behaviour; issues in mathematical psychology; modelling of preference paradoxes; sources of knowledge; alternatives to stochastic analysis in modelling economic phenomena; partial differential equations in social science.

Zusammenfassung: The conference will cover many aspects of the measurement, monitoring and managing of in situ particle size and sediment concentration in oceans, rivers, lakes, and streams.

Zusammenfassung: The conference will address relationships between past and contemporary climate change and the triggering of hazardous geological and geomorphological phenomena.

Zusammenfassung: The conference will feature more than 150 presentations and posters on emerging technologies and research.

Zusammenfassung: This year’s theme is From Volcanoes to Vineyards: Living with Dynamic Landscapes." A cross-section of scientific disciplines will come together to discuss geoscience research, public policy considerations and perspectives."
