[Aqualist] Paleoclimate @ AMOS 2015, abstracts due 28 Feb

[Helen McGregor]

Dear All,

Just a quick reminder that the abstract deadline (28 Feb) for the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS) Annual Conference is approaching, and we invite you to contribute to our session “Reconstruction and modelling of past climates to improve understanding of climate processes and future change” (full description below). We have run this session at the AMOS conference for the past few years, forging links with the Australian climatology community.

The AMOS conference is in Brisbane, 15-17 July 2015 dates. Details and registration are available athttp://www.imis100ap1.com.au/AMOS/AMOS2015/Home/AMOSNationalConference2015/Home.aspx?hkey=e329fe4f-2c9f-4fba-b29a-31e453413862
(note child care is being organised - please email ​admin at amos.org.au<mailto:admin at amos.org.au?subject=Child%20care%20at%20AMOS%202015> to express interest)

Hoping you can join us,

Cheers, Helen

Reconstruction and modelling of past climates to improve understanding of climate processes and future change

Palaeoclimate research reveals processes and interactions not represented in climate records of the modern era. In addition, palaeoclimate records provide constraints on climate sensitivity and natural climate patterns, critical for the evaluation of models used to project future climate variability and change.

This session will showcase palaeoclimate research to the wider AMOS community. We welcome presentations related to all aspects and time scales of past climate, including those that bridge the gap between past and future changes in the climate system. Presentations are encouraged on topics including palaeoclimate reconstruction, climate modelling, data-model comparison, as well as work from international palaeoclimate synthesis efforts (e.g. the PAGES 2k Network and INQUA SHAPE). We are particularly interested in presentations that combine multiple datasets or techniques, with a focus on understanding of the underlying processes.
