Second Annual PhD Conference
The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change is hosting the second annual PhD
Conference at the University of East Anglia (Norwich, UK) from the
11-13th April 2012.
Our theme is "Knowledge Gaps in Climate Change Research ? How are you
tackling it?", reflecting the innovative and interdisciplinary
research being carried out by PhD researchers across the UK and wider
world.
The overarching purpose of this conference is to facilitate
discussions regarding what gaps exist in climate change research, and
how PhDs, the Postdocs and Professors of the future, aim to address
them.
There will be four paper sessions reflecting the four themes of the
Tyndall Centre:
· Land and Water,
· Cities and Coasts,
· Governance and Behaviour, and
· Energy and Emissions.
Abstracts are being accepted for full paper presentations (15 minutes
+ 5 minutes for discussion), speed presentations (5 minutes), and
posters. Prizes, sponsored by the Journal of Environmental Innovation
and Societal Transitions (Elsevier), will be awarded for the best
presentations in all categories.
In addition to the sessions presenting research, there will be an
opening key note speech from Professor Mike Hulme (UEA) addressing
"Climate change: what sort of knowledge for what sort of politics?", a
session concerning career options after your PhD, and a panel debate
to close the conference. The panel session will be themed around the
future of climate change research and confirmed speakers so far
include Professor Bob Watson FRS (Chief Scientific Advisor to DEFRA),
Dr. Xianfu Lu (adaptation specialist at the Asian Development Bank),
and Richard Gledhill (Head of Climate Change and Carbon Market
Services at PricewaterhouseCoopers).
The conference is free to attend, including meals- all that's left to
pay for is your travel and accommodation.

first serve basis. Abstracts must be received by the23rd January 2012
