[Aqualist] ARCNESS Winter School on Earth System Modelling: Methods and Applications, UNSW, Sydney, 7-11 September 2009

[Steven J Phipps]

Hi all,

With apologies for cross-posting...

ARCNESS is holding a winter school on Earth System Modelling: Methods and 
Applications. The school will take place at the University of New South 
Wales in Sydney from 7-11 September 2009.

The mornings will be devoted to presentations from leading Australian 
earth system modellers, while the afternoons will be devoted to hands-on 
training. This will consist of a half-day course on using the NCI National 
Facility (the national high-performance computing facility in Canberra), 
and a 1.5-day course on using the CSIRO Mk3L climate system model (a fast 
global climate model that is particularly suitable for palaeoclimate 
simulations).

The full program is available from here:

There is a strong focus upon palaeoclimate, and members of the 
palaeoclimate community may therefore find the winter school to be 
particularly benefical.

If you wish to attend, please contact Anne Micallef 
<amicalle at els.mq.edu.au> to express interest and we will confirm as 
quickly as we can.

Some financial support will be available for interstate participants.

Priority will be given to PhD students, Honours students, and Early 
Career Researchers.

Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who you think might be 
interested.

Cheers,
Steven Phipps
