Dear ?rjan,
Please find below my nomination for Professor Corinne Le Quere to be our 
2013 Bert Beolin lecturer.
Best,
Agatha

"I nominate Professor Corinne Le Qu?r? to be 2013 Bert Bolin Lecturer. 
Le Qu?r? is Professor of Climate Change Science and Policy at the 
University of East Anglia and Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate 
Change Research.

Prof Le Qu?r? is a physicist specialised in the analysis of the global 
carbon cycle. Since the beginning of her career in the mid 1990s, she 
has been among the world leaders in the development of global 
biogeochemical models and their innovative use to resolve key scientific 
questions. Similar to Bert Bolin, she has founded and co-chairs a number 
of international activities that have brought together traditionally 
separate communities to address questions of global significance. Her 
research is recognised as world leading and influences national and 
international climate policy. For example, she has advised on climate 
change the UK prime minister Cameron in a private briefing, the Prince 
of Wales corporate leaders, the UK Parliament and Department of Energy 
and Climate Change, the UN Development Programme and Subsidiary Body for 
Scientific and Technological Advice, the EC Directorate-General for 
Climate Action, and EDF Energy strategic director.

The annual publication of global emissions and sinks of CO_2 by the 
Global Carbon Project, founded and directed by Prof Le Qu?r?, has 
influenced climate science and climate policy in the UK and 
internationally. She was author of the 3rd, 4th and 5th (ongoing) 
Assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and 
of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment.

Prof Le Qu?r? inspires in scientific leadership. She has founded or 
co-founded the Dynamic Green Ocean Project, the MARine Ecosystem Model 
Intercomparision Project, and the International summer schools of the 
Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study project. Le Qu?r?'s research is 
innovative and covers both fundamental and applied research. Her work is 
internationally recognised as top class with twelve papers in elite 
journals such as Nature, Sciences, and PNAS, an H-Index of 26 and 3870 
citations (only 14 years after PhD). She is also author of a book and 9 
chapters. She has been the recipeint of the Claude Berthault award from 
the French Academy of Sciences. "

	Predictions and Scenarios
Message-ID: <280F8160-3199-4890-BEDB-3BDF7EAB94FB@natgeo.su.se>

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the following session to be held at the Arctic Science Summit Week , 13-19 April 2013, in Krakow, Poland (http://www.assw2013.us.edu.pl/index - see also attached 2nd Circular):

Changing North: Predictions and Scenarios
Climate change leads to a host of Arctic system alterations, for instance in its hydrologic, cryospheric and ecological characteristics. Permafrost degradation, conversion of tundra to scrubland, and sea ice melt, following changes in precipitation and temperature are but a few examples of environmental alterations that have also socio-economic and cultural implications, not least for the livelihoods of indigenous Arctic peoples. This cross-cutting section addresses different types of projections and scenario formulations that provide insights into a future Arctic. The session focuses on two broad themes: a) projected changes and scenarios of future environmental development, e.g., with regard to temperature, precipitation, hydrology, vegetation, sea ice, pollution of the Arctic, and b) the use of and interplay between such projections and scenarios, and environmental, socio-economic and cultural sustainability in the Arctic.

Please consider contributing to this session: http://www.assw2013.us.edu.pl/index?p=abstract, and send this information further to other interested colleagues.    

The abstract submission deadline is 06 January 2013.
 
We are looking forward to receiving your contributions and apologize for any cross-posting. 

Best regards,

Session conveners: Georgia Destouni, Vera Metcalfe and Adam Naito

2013 Stable Isotope Short Courses at the University of Utah



Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry and Ecology, June 3-14, 2013



Isotopes in Spatial Ecology and Biogeochemistry, June 17-28, 2013



https://itce.utah.edu/courses.html



- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -



We are pleased to open the application period for the 2013 Stable Isotope Short Courses at the University of Utah. In addition to the 18th annual offering of the Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry and Ecology Course (aka ?Iso-Camp?) this year we are introducing a new companion course, Isotopes in Spatial Ecology and Biogeochemistry (aka ?The SPATIAL Short Course?), focused on large datasets, spatial analysis and modeling, and scaling with isotopic data.



Both classes will be limited-enrollment, multi-instructor lecture (morning) and laboratory (afternoon) short courses.  The courses are targeted to graduate students and postdoctoral investigators interested in learning more about the applications of stable isotopes at natural abundance levels to environmental, biogeochemical, marine, and ecological studies.  A limited number of lecture-only slots will be reserved for postdocs and faculty looking to gain exposure to scientific and technical course content without the full emersion experience offered by the full lecture+lab sequence.  The courses will:



1)  be offered at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City



2)  be limited to 25-27 participants in order to maximize interaction and access to laboratory resources; an additional 5 openings for the lecture-only course will be made available for postdocs and faculty



3)  consist of a morning lecture/discussion and an afternoon laboratory; each course will feature ~17 instructors, experts selected from across the country for their breadth and for their interest in teaching and interacting with students



4)  include a hands-on laboratory experience each day.



For Iso-Camp the laboratory experiences will include full access and use of ThermoElectron isotope ratio mass spectrometers and Picarro cavity-ring down spectrometers; the IRMS is equipped with elemental analyzers, continuous flow capacities, GC, TCEA, pre-con, laser, common-acid-bath; available also are vacuum preparation lines for organic and inorganic compounds of biological and environmental interest.



For the SPATIAL short course students will work with Picarro CRDS analyzers and a range of geospatial data management and modeling software, including ArcGIS, IsoMAP, and various research software packages developed and used by the instructors, their students, and collaborators.



Many of the evenings in both courses will be set aside for discussions of current research interests, group dinners, additional talks, and also there will be opportunities for social events in the nearby Wasatch Mountains.



Typically our applicants have come from all across the United States as well as from many different foreign countries.  We select students with a diversity of academic interests, geographical diversity, and research experiences in mind. We seek students with broad interests who are interested in learning broadly about stable isotope applications and in interacting with both other students and faculty.  We encourage applications from underrepresented groups. Past participants have had backgrounds in disciplines including animal and plant physiology, ecology and ecosystem science, biogeochemistry, anthropology, atmospheric science, marine science, oceanography, paleontology, forensic science, industry, and geology.



Applications will be accepted until February 8, 2013. Application forms for both courses can be reached through the webpage https://itce.utah.edu/apply.html.  We will notify applicants about February 28, 2013 regarding acceptance into the course and how to begin planning for lodging arrangements, tuition payments, reading materials, etc.



We will be offering a limited number of scholarships to support course fees and lodging expenses for participants in each course. If you are interested in being considered for one of the scholarships, additional information beyond the initial application is required. Details are posted on the application website. We will announce scholarship recipients on or about February 28, 2013 as well.



On behalf of the other instructors who participate in these courses from our campus as well as from across the United States, let us say that we look forward to your application and encourage you to explore our website.



Happy Holidays.



Gabe Bowen, Thure Cerling, and Jim Ehleringer

Participation limited to 30 early-career Ph.D. scholars
Airfare and on-site expenses are supported through grants from NSF and NASA

The DISsertations initiative for the advancement of Climate Change ReSearch
(DISCCRS, pronounced discourse) hosts symposia for early-career climate
change researchers. Our goal is to catalyze international, interdisciplinary
collegial networks and foster collaborative interdisciplinary research and
dynamic interactions between science and society to enable us to better
understand and respond to the myriad challenges posed by climate change.

During the weeklong symposium, 30 competitively selected recent Ph.D.
graduates will share their research, engage in discussions with peers,
mentors, and funding agency representatives, and hone their teambuilding and
communication skills. Most importantly, scholars will depart from the
symposium with a collegial peer network that extends across the full range
of climate science. For an overview of recent symposium scholars, visit:
