27 May - 1 June 2012, Obergurgl, Austria
The ongoing climate warming requires a detailed understanding of global and regional climate variations and forecasting of their future changes using climate models. These changes pertain not only to the average global warming but also to changes in regional climate, circulation patterns and their temporal variability. To decrease the uncertainty in these model predictions, climate models have to be validated using paleoclimate data as provided by natural climate archives. Spatially representative climate modes and teleconnection patterns and their temporal variability allow for this validation and represent the vehicles to contrast rather coarsely resolved climate models to point-wise paleoclimate data.
Conference format:
- lectures by invited high level speakers
- short talks by young & early stage researchers
- poster sessions, round table and open discussion periods
- forward look panel discussion about future developments
The conference is open to everybody interested in the topic. Participants will be selected on a competitive basis. All participants are expected to present a poster about their research.
Chairs:
- Prof. Dr. Hubertus Fischer, Physics Institute and Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research, University of Bern, Switzerland
- Prof. Dr. Eric Wolff, British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, UK
