Résumé: 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.

Résumé: '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.

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

Résumé: 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.

Résumé: 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.

Résumé: 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.

Résumé: 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.

Résumé: 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

Résumé: 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

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

Résumé: 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)

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

Résumé: The theme for the 2009 AMS Annual Meeting is “Urban Weather and Climate: Now and the Future.” The meeting aims to highlight advances and challenges in urban-related science, applications, observations, modeling and operations.

Résumé: The conference will focus primarily on the structure and biogeochemical cycling of Arctic marine ecosystems in a period of rapid climate changes. The conference will also focus upon sustainable management of Arctic regions.

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

Résumé: This conference will cover all aspects of the meteorology and oceanography of the Southern Hemisphere.

Résumé: 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.

Résumé: The symposium provides a forum for the exchange of operational and research information related to weather in the Alaska environment.

Résumé: Space Climate School aims to introduce under-graduate and post-graduate students, young space researchers and all other interested to the basics of the key topics of Space Climate, including Earth's climate and Sun-climate relations.

Résumé: 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.

Résumé: This symposium aims at pushing forward the research agenda on climate change from a city’s perspective.

Résumé: 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 Swiss Alpine setting for keynote lectures, workshops and poster sessions.
