MECHANISMS OF QUATERNARY CLIMATE CHANGE: STABILITY OF WARM PHASES IN THE PAST AND IN THE FUTURE



Dates: 6 - 11 June 2009

Location: University Centre Obergurgl (Ötz Valley, near Innsbruck), Austria

Programme and applications: accessible online at www.esf.org/conferences/09285<http://www.esf.org/conferences/09285>

Deadline for applications and abstract submissions: 2 March 2009

Scope: The conference will address the difference between past interglacials, their climatic stability and their  interaction with polar ice sheets and with the biosphere. It will cover several complementary disciplines in the field of climate change and will also aim to involve scientists of other disciplines closely related to climate changes, such as socio-economics and politics.



Grants: some grants are available for young researchers to cover the conference fee and travel costs
