Regards, David Begin forwarded message: From: David Hutchinson > Subject: Brøgger seminar Kate Moran Date: 14 March 2017 at 11:03:49 am GMT+1 To: Bolincentret-at-su.se at lists.su.se Dear all, The IGV marine geology group will soon host the spring 2017 Brøgger seminar. Dr Kate Moran, CEO of Ocean Networks Canada will present: The Internet-Connected Ocean Date: 3rd April at 15:00 Venue: Högbomsalen Abstract Ocean Networks Canada, an initiative of the University of Victoria, operates world-leading cabled ocean observatories that supply continuous power and Internet connectivity to a broad suite of subsea instruments from coastal to deep-ocean environments. Data from these observatories, and from ferries, gliders and moorings, fish tag receivers, and coastal radar, address pressing scientific and policy issues by providing long-term measurements of physical, chemical, biological, and geological aspects of the ocean during a critical time of climate change, ocean industrialization and increasing concern about marine hazards. Research priorities include ocean change, developing forecasting and early warning systems for tsunamis, earthquakes and storm surge, deep-sea and arctic ecosystem studies, developing automated methods for analyzing ocean ‘big data’, and establishing marine science programs in coastal communities to build resilience to ocean change.

Title: Arctic permafrost ecosystems Linking observational studies, land surface modeling and atmospheric simulations to gain new insights Speaker: Dr. Mathias Goeckede Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, Jena, Germany Date: Wednesday 19 April, 2017, 10:00–11:00 Place: Alhmannsalen, Geoscience Building Summary: The Arctic permafrost carbon pool is of paramount importance for the global climate system, since high-latitude ecosystems are predicted to be exposed to higher-than-average warming in the future. It does also contain an enormous carbon pool that may lead to a strong positive feedback with climate change. The magnitude of this feedback is still highly uncertain because of the significant gaps in our understanding of physical and biogeochemical processes in permafrost regions. This also is reflected in the over-simplified implementation of permafrost ecosystems in global climate models, leading to poor performances of these models in high latitude regions. Here, we present results from recent experiments in Northeast Siberia that suggest that hydrology, vegetation and soil thermal regimes dominate the carbon and energy exchange patterns. Through integrating these findings into process models we improved the representation of carbon cycle-climate feedbacks in permafrost ecosystems, which contributes to reduce uncertainties in climate forecast scenarios.

The program is now expanding to include not only Bolin Centre members but also members of ACES, IGV, and MISU who are not Bolin Centre members (and other departments are also welcome and can join upon request). Mentees are primarily PhD students, postdocs, researchers, and junior faculty while mentors are commonly from 3 years after Phd and beyond. Normally our program runs from November to November. In the current call mentee-mentor pairs will be signed up until November and may then wish, just like the other existing pairs, to continue formally another year, sign up for new pairs, or leave the program * **Special call for mentors:* The success of the program depends on good matching. The bigger our pool of mentors, the better our matching will be. A big pool of mentors also means that we don't need to use all mentors every year and that the mentoring of our more junior staff is shared between our more senior staff. Note that the meetings are often about 3-8 lunches per year which is not a huge burden. It is a service to the community which can be stated on your CV. It is also very rewarding. So please do consider to sign up and pay forward for all the help and mentoring you have received yourself in your career. Mentors who signup up in November but were not assigned mentees will automatically be considered as mentors for this round unless they contact us with a desire to withdraw. I would especially like to encourage senior faculty and all female faculty to sign up as mentors since there is often a huge demand for them. *Main characteristics of the program:* Voluntary: All mentees and mentors volunteer. This means the program is always only as big at the need it fulfills. Confidential: We never mention who signs up unless permission is given such as for marketing. Mentee-mentor interactions are also strictly confidential. Cross-departmental: The mentees are signed up with mentors in other departments to provide more objectivity and avoid conflict of interest. Mentee-driven: The mentees make the first contact and decide the frequency and format of the meetings. This is because the needs of every mentee are individual and a single format will not be optimal for all. Annual: The program runs annually from the Bolin Days. After that pairs may wish to continue formally, informally, sign up for new pairs, or leave the program. *Signing up as mentee, please provide:* Name, department, field of study and position. If a postdoc or more advanced, please state years since Phd. Please also say whether you have any preference for mentors regarding seniority (experience), gender, language, or any other considerations. Please mention if some of your preferences are less important than others in case it is difficult to fulfill all preferences. *Signing up as mentor, please provide:* Name, department, field of study and position. If you are a postdoc or researcher, please tell us your years since PhD, number of postdocs, or other indication of experience so that we can link you up to a suitable mentee (we ideally have a mentor with at least 4-5 years more experience than the mentee). That is the most important information. Please sign up by Tuesday 25 April. For those interested, please see more specific information below for mentees and mentors. Best regards, Agatha & Malin * **More information for mentees:* You will receive and email from me in the next 3 weeks with information about your mentor. It is your responsibility to contact your mentor to set up a first meeting. Remember that they signed up voluntarily so you do not need to feel guilty about taking up their time but remember everyone is busy to don't get discouraged if they cannot see you right away. At the first meeting you will need to discuss your preferred meeting frequency which can range from three times a year to monthly. You also need to think about whether you prefer an informal or more structured meeting setup. An informal meeting could start with a simple "how are things going?" and proceed from there. In a more structured meeting you could make up a short personal development program for the next two years which may include goals such as thesis writing, courses, conference attendance, publications, career development, personal goals, etc. Then you can discuss at each meeting how progress towards those goals are proceeding and discuss how to overcome the challenges if you missed your goals. It is up to the mentee to choose which setup they prefer since the linking program is there to serve the needs of the mentee. Of course you can choose something in between these choices or change from one to the other at any point. *More information for mentors:* The program is mentee-driven and the mentee will contact you to set up a first meeting. It is natural for the mentee to leave it up to the mentor, as the senior, to lead the meetings. The mentor can therefore at the first meeting determine what the mentee's main motivation for mentorship is and which frequency and format they prefer and how the next meeting will be set up. Also, please mention that the interaction is completely confidential and both should commit to that pledge to ensure trust. From previous years' mentor feedback it came to light that it is difficult for mentors to determine whether they were useful while their mentees expressed appreciation for the interaction. So even if it doesn't always feel that you are useful, you probably are! -- Agatha M. de Boer, Associate Professor Dept. of Geological Science and Bolin Centre for Climate Research Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Tel: +46 8 16 4730 http://people.geo.su.se/agatha/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

By studying (pre)historic periods we increase our knowledge not just about these periods, but also about the processes that are important for climatic variations and changes. This thesis deals mainly with the interaction between climate and vegetation. Vegetation changes can affect climate in many different ways. These effects can be divided into two main categories: biogeochemical and biogeophysical processes. This thesis studies the biogeophysical effects of vegetation changes on climate in climate models. Climate models are a necessary tool for investigating how climate responds to changes in the climate system, as well as for making predictions of future climate. The biogeophysical processes are strongly related to characteristics of the land surface. Vegetation changes alter the land surface's albedo (ability to reflect incoming solar radiation), roughness and evapotranspiration (the sum of evaporation and transpiration), which in turn affects the energy fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere and thereby the climate. It is not, however, evident in what way; denser vegetation (e.g. forest instead of grassland) gives decreased albedo, which results in higher temperature, but also increased evapotranspiration, which contrastingly results in lower temperature. Vegetation changes are in this thesis studied in four different (pre)historic periods: two very cold periods with no human influence (c. 44,000 and 21,000 years ago), one warm period with minor human influence (c. 6,000 years ago) and a cold period with substantial human influence (c. 200 years ago). In addition to that the present climate is studied. The combination of these periods gives an estimate of the effect of both natural and anthropogenic vegetation on climate in different climatic contexts. The results show that vegetation changes can change temperature with 1-3 °C depending on season and region. The response is not the same everywhere, but depends on local properties of the land surface. During the winter half of the year, the albedo effect is usually most important as the difference in albedo between forest and open land is very large. During the summer half of the year the evapotranspiration effect is usually most important as differences in albedo between different vegetation types are smaller. A prerequisite for differences in evapotranspiration is that there is sufficient amount of water available. In dry regions, evapotranspiration does not change much with changes in vegetation, which means that the albedo effect will dominate also in summer. The conclusion of these studies is that vegetation changes can have a considerable effect on climate, comparable to the effect of increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in scenarios of future climate. Thus, it is important to have an appropriate description of the vegetation in studies of past, present and future climate. This means that vegetation has the potential to work as a feedback mechanism to natural climatic variations, but also that man can alter climate by altering the vegetation. It also means that mankind may have influenced climate before we started to use fossil fuel. Consequently, vegetation changes can be used as a means to mitigate climate change locally.

Attached you will find a schedule of the workshop but we outline the most important take home messages here: Speed talks It is our intention that each attendee will have five minutes to present 1-3 slides. We do not want to restrict the topic of these talks but they should, of course, relate to something within the research area (i.e. clouds, aerosols, turbulence and climate). As such, we welcome attendees to introduce themselves, an aspect of their research, something they have noted that may be of interest to the research area, or something completely different. Please send your slides to matthew.salter at aces.su.se by 1700 on Friday May 5th (pdf preferred but we can also take mac and windows ppt). The speakers should note that, as conveners, we will be strict on keeping each speaker to five minutes. Time permitting we will allow one question to each speaker from the floor while speakers are changing. Deeper discussion will be reserved for the breaks and dinner. Lunch Lunch and coffee will be provided outside Högbomsalen. Dinner Dinner will take place at the Faculty club, Stockholm University and is strictly reserved to those who preregistered. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.
