2009 Gordon Research Conference on Radiation and Climate Scheduled

 
Published: 18 February 2009

The 2009 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Radiation and Climate will be held at Colby-Sawyer College, New London, NH, from July 5-10, 2009. This event will feature the latest research on global climate change, focusing on the radiative forcing, sensitivity, and physical processes of the climate system.  Speakers will be presenting the latest advances, as well as anticipated challenges in these areas.

The following discussions may be of particular interest to the ARM community:

  • Challenges in radiation and climate
  • Radiative forcing
  • Climate feedbacks
  • Cloud processes in climate system
  • Hydrological cycle in changing climate
  • Absorbing aerosols and Asian monsoon
  • Recent climate changes
  • Geo-engineering.

The conference schedule will feature plenary-type sessions in the mornings and evenings, and will include opportunities for scientific leaders from different disciplines to participate in a variety of informal discussions.  This experience may prove especially valuable to junior scientists and graduate students, who are invited to present their work in poster format.

The deadline to submit an application is June 14, 2009.  For more information or to submit online, visit the GRC website.
