Conference on mechanisms of quaternary climate change, Obergurgl, Austria
6 June 2009 - 6 June 2009
Austria
The European Science Foundation (ESF) and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) are organising a conference on 'Mechanisms of quaternary climate change: stability of warm phases in the past and in the future' in Obergurgl, Austria, from 6 to 11 June.
During the conference, the difference between past interglacials, their climatic stability, and interaction with polar ice sheets and the biosphere over past millennia will be addressed for a better understanding of the climate of the future.
This conference is based on knowledge acquired during decades of successful research programmes and will go a step further in integrating European and international research groups in the field of palaeoclimatology. It will cover several complementary disciplines in the field of climate change, and will aim to involve scientists of other disciplines closely related to climate changes, such as socio-economics and politics.For further information, please visit:
