drought & climate forum
10/10/11 17:37
In the upcoming Fourth Drought Adaptation Forum organized by UNISDR Regional Office for Africa and UNDP DDC from 13 to 14 October 2011 in Nairobi, Kenya, we will discuss among other topics "gaps and challenges in existing funding mechanisms for long-term drought mitigation measures". It is often mentioned that while there is development funding and humanitarian funding, there is no funding mechanism in place which can be activated when very early predictions are received that a drought might happen. In the case of the current Horn of Africa drought, first indications were received late 2010, but little early action followed. One reason for this could be that it is difficult to fund long-term drought mitigation measures. Read More...

Conference on climate variability
10/10/11 17:30
ESF Research Conference Announcement:
Modes of Variability in the Climate System: Past - Present - Future
27 May - 1 June 2012, Obergurgl, Austria
The ongoing climate warming requires a detailed understanding of global and regional climate variations and forecasting of their future changes using climate models. These changes pertain not only to the average global warming but also to changes in regional climate, circulation patterns and their temporal variability. To decrease the uncertainty in these model predictions, climate models have to be validated using paleoclimate data as provided by natural climate archives. Spatially representative climate modes and teleconnection patterns and their temporal variability allow for this validation and represent the vehicles to contrast rather coarsely resolved climate models to point-wise paleoclimate data.

ASLO conference: Japan
18/09/11 22:48
In July of 2012, ASLO will convene its summer meeting on the shores of ancient Lake Biwa in Otsu, Japan, and we invite you to participate. Lake Biwa is the largest lake in Japan and a beautiful location for an ASLO meeting.
The theme, Voyages of Discovery, will be an historic event for ASLO and aquatic scientists from around the world. Meeting for the first time in Asia, those who take part in this meeting will strengthen and form collaborations between East and West. This will be an opportunity to share new knowledge, insights, and discoveries about the world's lakes, rivers and oceans, and to address the many challenges that these ecosystems are now facing. We, therefore, welcome proposals for special sessions on topics that are relevant to both freshwater and marine systems or that examine the interactions among them. In addition, we encourage topics that address environmental issues on ocean or freshwater systems at global and local scales, advances in innovative technologies for aquatic research, and biological, biogeochemical and evolutionary aspects relevant to community and ecosystem structure and processes.

Adaptation Futures Conference
Climate change is one of the most important environmental, social and economic issues facing the world today. Despite growing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, some impacts such as higher temperatures, more intense floods, droughts, wildfires, and rising sea levels are now inevitable. We must plan for and adapt to these changes, to minimize the negative impacts and enhance the benefits to natural systems, societies, and human activities and well-being. This challenges decision making at all levels, from individuals to governments, as well as in business and industry.

The overall objective of the Climate-Water project is to study European and international adaptation measures and strategies related to climate change impacts and how these are taken into account in water policies. The project is formulating a coherent framework on adaptation strategies of climate change impacts on water resources, water cycling and water uses of the society and nature with special regard to those that water policy has to take into account when considering climate change impacts.
