[Aqualist] REMINDER: Call for abstracts: High-resolution records of past climate: Insights into past and future climate variability (AMOS 2014)

[Steven J Phipps]

*** ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS THIS SATURDAY, 5 OCTOBER ***

We invite submissions to the following session at the Australian Meteorological 
and Oceanographic Society National Conference 2014, to be held in beautiful 
Hobart, Tasmania, Australia from 12-14 February 2014.

High-resolution records of past climate: Insights into past and future climate 
variability

Reconstructions of past climate with a high temporal resolution provide 
valuable insights into natural climate variability, including modes such as El 
Niño-Southern Oscillation and the Southern Annular Mode. They also enable us to 
study the teleconnections between these modes and the climate of Australia and, 
in particular, to study the stability of these teleconnections over time.

The information provided by high-resolution palaeoclimate records is essential 
to detect and attribute anthropogenic influences on variability within the 
climate system, as well as to constrain and evaluate the models that are used 
to project future climate variability and change. High-resolution palaeoclimate 
research is therefore a critical component of climate system science, and is 
directly relevant to questions of climate change adaptation and mitigation.

This session welcomes presentations related to all aspects of past climate 
variability. Any time period may be considered, including the last 2,000 years, 
the Holocene and the Last Glacial Maximum. Presentations are encouraged on 
high-resolution palaeoclimate records, climate modelling, data-model 
integration and the use of palaeoclimate reconstructions to constrain 
projections of future climate variability.
