• “Earth System Science: Climate, Global Change and People” - The AIMES Open Science Conference on Earth System Science
  Posted by: Colin Prentice -- colin.prentice@bristol.ac.uk
  Monday, 10 May 2010
  Edinburgh, UK, 10-13 May 2010
  Description: The AIMES Open Science Conference is co-sponsored by QUEST (Quantifying and Understanding the Earth System), a flagship research programme funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) during 2003-2010. The conference will address Earth System questions in the context of past, present and future global environmental changes. Building on the exceptional growth of cross-cutting research over the past 15 years, it will emphasize interdisciplinary synthesis and linkages: between observations and models, biodiversity and climate, social and natural sciences, policy and research. The broad themes to be addressed at the conference will be: • Earth system modelling: from observations and process understanding to prediction and risk assessment. • Dynamics of biogeochemical cycles and climate: transitions, instabilities and feedbacks. • People and resources—perspectives on the relations among environment, ecosystems and human needs. The conference will include a small number of invited keynote presentations, providing stateof- the art overviews of major topics, and a somewhat larger number of presentations selected from responses to the Call for Abstracts, which will be issued in September 2009. The poster sessions will form an integral, and important, part of the conference programme. Registration, travel and accommodation information will be available through the conference website, which will be made available together with the Call for Abstracts.

There are no deadlines for this timeframe. Please check back soon.
