C-CASCADES Mini-Conference: Anthropogenic Perturbation of the Boundless Carbon Cycle

The main objective of this C-CASCADES Mini-Conference is to advance our understanding of the changes in the boundless carbon cycle relative to the preindustrial state. It will be held at Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (Hamburg, Germany) on January 24th-26th, 2018.

24 January 2018 - 26 January 2018
Germany
The main objective of this C-CASCADES Mini Conference is to advance our understanding of the changes in the boundless carbon cycle relative to the preindustrial state. We will focus on the effects of anthropogenic perturbations of the boundless carbon cycle, as well as on the challenges in observational and modeling studies in representing these perturbations.
With a focus on the changes in the boundless carbon cycle, this workshop is meant to contribute to a process that leads to a series of review papers on this topic, covering all aspects from processes to models.

Structurally, the mini-conference consists of 3 parts (see detailed agenda on our website):
1. Input talks by a range of experts (7x30’ min talks);
2. Poster session;
3. Breakout groups with intense discussions.
Participants will act as rapporteurs in the individual breakout sessions, and will use this material together with the input from the talks to write a critical summary of the outcomes of the workshop.

The participants are expected to acquire the following skills and knowledge during this mini conference:
1 - Understanding the key processes of the Anthropogenic Perturbation of the Boundless Carbon Cycle.
2 – Appraising and feedbacking scientific paper abstracts.
3 - Presenting and discussing results in a scientific setting.

This event is open for Master / PhD students and Post-docs and it is free of charge.
We are also welcoming any person who will be interested to attend some of the expert lectures.
