Zusammenfassung: 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.

Zusammenfassung: Accelerating changes in the global climate are changing the way water is managed in the American West. Some of the resulting impacts, such as increased crop water demands, are only beginning to be felt, while others, such as earlier melting of mountain snowpacks, are already well advanced. Water managers will increasingly be confronted with decision situations where old rules and old expectations no longer apply, and new design practices, new operating rules, new management practices, and even new legislation altering water management policies and water rights, will be required. This conference is designed to help prepare water managers for these changes.

Zusammenfassung: 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,

Zusammenfassung: 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.

Zusammenfassung: 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.

Zusammenfassung: 'Climatic changes and water resources in the middle east and north africa' This symposium intends to encourage and enlarge the exchange of experience and the cooperation between german and arab scientists, universities, institutions as well as industry. This could be a contribution to global environment protection and to the understanding among nations.

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

Zusammenfassung: 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.

Zusammenfassung: 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.

Zusammenfassung: The warming of Earth's climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice. The intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared in 2008 that water resources are amongst systems and sectors that are particularly vulnerable to climate change and stand to be stongly impacted by it. While precipitation on average is expected to change only slightly, its variability is expected to increase. Extreme weather events, both in temperature and precipitation, are likely to occur more often, leading to increased occurrences of both floods and droughts. Climate change will influence the global hydrological cycle, and this in turn will have major impacts on water resources.

Zusammenfassung: 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.

Zusammenfassung: The symposium encompasses: + Theoretical basis, technical approaches, and application methods of marine, land, and atmosphere remote sensing; + Active and passive technique technologies; + Coastal zone management applications; + Weather, air quality, and climate monitoring and prediction applications

Zusammenfassung: IInd world Aqua Congress aims to discuss “Global Climate Change and Water Resources”. The conference will focus on the current practices adopted and evolving guidelines for future. Global Warming is of great concern worldwide today. The consequences of Global warming can be seen everywhere and there are various serious concerns related to this issue:

* Average temperatures will rise, as will the frequency of heat waves.

* Warmer temperatures could also increase the probability of drought. Greater evaporation, particularly during summer and fall, could exacerbate drought conditions and increase the risk of wildfires

* Warmer temperatures increase the energy of the climatic system and lead to more intense rainfall at times in some areas

* More frequent and more intensive heat waves could result in more heat-related deaths. These conditions could also aggravate local air quality problems

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

Zusammenfassung: 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.

Zusammenfassung: Issues on Climate change had been a long term debate. It had been started on 1970's, based on a paradigm that everything in the world is interconnected, such that when irresponsible environment's unfriendly activities pursue, like deforestations and green house gases waste producing ones, an atmospheric hole will be formed causing an atmospheric temperature increase and in turn making polar ice melt and seawater rise. An overal change of wind characteristics and oceanic current accrue, and thusly the climate change. To date the issue imposes a central discourse in politics and science alike, due to its impacts to the world and its foreseeable future.
