Asia Oceania Geosciences Society Annual Meeting - 2013
June 24 - 28
Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) was established in 2003 to promote geosciences and its application for the benefit of humanity, specifically in Asia and Oceania and with an overarching approach to global issues. Asia- Oceania region is particularly vulnerable to natural hazards, accounting for almost 80% human lives lost globally. AOGS is deeply involved in addressing hazard related issues through improving our understanding of the genesis of hazards through scientific, social and technical approaches..

The subtropical frontier: A summer school on climate trends, variability and extremes in the sub tropics
June 23 - July 3
The school aims to bring PhD students and postdocs to the frontier of knowledge reagarding subtropical and Mediterranean climate variability. There will be three main components:
- A review of observational data, including paleoproxy data, to characterize the climate of the region and evolution over time.
- An examination of the relevant atmospheric, oceanic and land-surface hydrological mechanisms that control subtropical climate.
- A review of modelling results and projections for the subtropics.
These topics will be presented from a global perspective, with emphasis on general mechanisms and inter-comparison between phenomena and projections for dierent subtropical regions in both hemispheres.
Registration: To register for the course, send an email to Dr. Bjorn Gunnarson, Director of Studies, at bjorn.gunnarson@natgeo.su.se. Enrollment for the course will be limited to 28 students. The cost for participation is 650 euro, including room and board for the duration. Registration for this course will close on April 30, 2013. Additional information regarding this course will be posted on the Bolin Center’s website.
Location: Navarino Environmental Observatory, Messinia, Greece.

New models and observations of the Southern Ocean, it's role in global climate and the carbon cycle
July 16 - 17
The Southern Ocean is the most remote and the least understood of the world’s oceans, but plays a crucial role in past and present climate change. Currently it is the focus of intense physical and biogeochemical research. This meeting will bring together observationalists and modellers to exchange their latest insights, and will reach across the disciplines to bring together physical oceanographers, climatologists and carbon cycle scientists.
Location: The Royal Society at Chicheley Hall, home of the Kavli Royal Society International Centre, Buckinghamshire.

Interdisciplinary workshop: Key Uncertainties in the Global Carbon-Cycle: Perspectives across terrestrial and ocean ecosystems
August 6-10
Researchers at any stage in their career are invited to apply. Students attending the 2013 NCAR ASP Student Colloquium will also attend the workshop. Funds are available to partially support travel and lodging expenses for most participants.
Location: National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, CO

Conference: Isotopes of Carbon, Water, and Geotracers in Paleoclimate Research
August 26 - 28
This conference will bring together observationalists and modelers to exchange their latest insights on the opportunity isotopes offer to quantitatively understand physical and biogeochemical processes and to unravel past and modern climate change. The conference will reach across the disciplines to bring together scientists who work on different climate archives and focus on physical or biogeochemical processes and couplings.

From Climate Reconstructions to Climate Predictions: 12th International NCCR Climate Summer School 2013
September 1-6, 2013
The Summer School is focusing on the theme "from climate reconstructions to climate predictions". This theme has been chosen due to its paramount importance in terms of both scientific challenges and pressing societal concerns. The specific topics to be addressed include:
- Climate variability of the past two millennia and the next century
- Calibrating proxies, modeling past climate, data-model comparison, detection and attribution
- Rapid climate change and feedbacks, tipping points
- Decadal predictability: theory and processes
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.
Speakers: J. Beer (EAWAG & ETH Zurich, CH); S. Brönnimann (U Bern, CH); C. Deser (NCAR, USA); M. Evans (U Maryland, USA); D. Frank (WSL, CH); J. Franke (U Bern, CH); H. Goosse (UC Louvain, B); G. Hegerl (U Edinburgh, UK); O. Heiri (U Bern, CH); F. Joos (U Bern, CH); M. Kageyama (IPSL-CNRS, F); T. Lenton (U Exeter, UK); J. Marotzke (MPI Hamburg, D); C.C. Raible (U Bern, CH); H.

DISCCRS VIII Interdisciplinary Climate Change Research Symposium
October 12 - 19
The DISsertations initiative for the advancement of Climate Change ReSearch (DISCCRS, pronounced discourse) hosts symposia for early-career climate change researchers. Our goal is to catalyze international, interdisciplinary collegial networks and foster collaborative interdisciplinary research and dynamic interactions between science and society to enable us to better understand and respond to the myriad challenges posed by climate change.
During the weeklong symposium, 30 competitively selected recent Ph.D. graduates will share their research, engage in discussions with peers, mentors, and funding agency representatives, and hone their teambuilding and communication skills. Most importantly, scholars will depart from the symposium with a collegial peer network that extends across the full range of climate science. Click here for an overview of recent symposium scholars.
Eligibility: Ph.D. requirements completed between September 1, 2010 - February 28, 2013 in any field. Applicants should be conducting research relevant to the study of climate change, its impacts, or its societal implications.
Location: La Foret Conference and Retreat Center, Colorado.
