SUMMER SCHOOL ON "CLIMATE VARIABILITY & CLIMATE CHANGE: ESTIMATING AND REDUCING UNCERTAINTIES"
Organizers: Edit Hagel, Andras Horanyi and Gabriella Szepszo, Hungarian Meteorological Service
8-17 June 2009, Hungarian Meteorological Service, The summer school is planned to be held in a picturesque part of Hungary, the Danube Bend.
The main objective of the summer school is to bring together the users ofIPCC-class climate models, the researchers from the theoretical climate dynamics, and dynamical- and complex-system experts in order to chart a path towards better understanding the sources of uncertainties in climate models, as well as estimating and reducing these uncertainties.
The deadline for application to participate in the event and for the financial support is 31 December 2008, documents required: Curriculum Vitae; List of publications; Motivation Letter; Letter of recommendation.
8th International NCCR Climate Summer School with participation of IGBP-PAGES
"Climate variability, forcings, feedbacks and responses: the long-term perspective"
30 August - 4 September 2009, Grindelwald, Switzerland
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.
The topics covered at the NCCR Climate Summer School 2009 will include:
* climate variability: the long-term perspective
* reconstruction techniques, past climate modelling and data assimilation
* forcings, feedbacks and responses of the climate system
* impacts of climate change: the hydrological cycle
The Summer School invites young researchers from all fields of climate research. The courses cover a broad spectrum of climate and climate impact research issues and foster cross-disciplinary links. Each topic includes keynote plenary lectures and workshops with in-depth discussion in smaller groups. All Summer School participants present a poster of their research and there will be ample opportunity for discussion.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 20 DECEMBER 2008
