Speaker: Professor Antonio Martínez Cortizas, Department of Edaphic and Chemical Agronomy, University of Santiago de la Compostela Title: Climates hidden in the peat Abstract: Peatlands have been widely used as archives of environmental changes, since more than a century ago. Peat records of biotic (as pollen, diatoms, testate amoebas, plant and animal remains) and abiotic (lithogenic elements, trace metals, isotopes, etc.) proxies have enabled to reconstruct changes in vegetation, soil erosion, atmospheric pollution and climate, at local and regional scales. At the same time, they are amongst the most sensitive and responsive ecosystems to climate changes, expressed as modifications in surface vegetation, peat organic matter decomposition, ability to bind/sequester chemical elements, and so forth. Through three case studies, this talk will exemplify this ambivalent potential of the use peat records: how can we extract climatic signals from peat (using unusual and usual peat properties), and how this signal helps us to understand the role of climate on the biogechemical cycling of atmospheric deposited elements.

The potential to turn these challenges into opportunities are great and studies suggest that 900,000 jobs could be created in the region by 2030. But what practical measures need to be addressed in order for us to take care of, and benefit from, the Baltic Sea in a responsible way? This year, focus is on climate issues in the Baltic Sea Region. Welcome to a new platform for innovative ideas, partnerships and financial solutions where local leadership is in focus! Baltic Sea Future provides the opportunity for you to: * Share experiences with important stakeholders and international colleagues * Meet green investors and sustainable financing solutions * Learn from successful implementation cases in Finland, Poland and Sweden * Find innovative tools and technical solutions for environmental management * Get updated on the latest Baltic Sea environmental health research Interested?

Abstract Calculating climate feedbacks is challenging: observed climate variations might not be in equilibrium, multiple processes are operating at the same time and moreover the geographical structures and timescales of different forcings differ. Different methods have been developed to study these feedbacks. However, there are limitations connected with these, because they neglect nonradiative interactions between feedback processes and they only take into account feedbacks that directly affect the TOA radiation. Recently, a new climate feedback analysis method has been developed: the climate feedback-response analysis method (CFRAM). This method is based on the energy balance in an atmosphere-surface column and makes it possible the isolate partial temperature changes due to an external forcing. This method has now been extended to study the middle atmosphere: middle-atmosphere CFRAM (MCFRAM). In a recent study by Zhu et al. (2016), they apply this method to both observations and model output fields to study the middle atmosphere climate sensitivity.

The conference will cover all themes and topics of Baltic Earth, in particular highlight the Baltic Earth Grand Challenges, as defined by the Baltic Earth Science Plan.The grand topic of the conference "The Baltic Sea region in transition" refers to transition processes in the Baltic Sea and its catchment basin, as well as in the regional climatic and socio-economic system. In addition to this, we invite contributions which are related to processes in the transition area between the Baltic and North Sea regions, e.g. oceanographic in- and outflow events and associated consequences for Baltic Sea biogeochemistry, ecology and human uses, specific conditions of the Belts and Sounds area including human pressures like eutrophication and shipping, regional sea level rise as well as similarities and differences in the BACC and NOSCCA climate change assessments. For more information concerning the abstract submission procedure as well as general information on the conference and the location, see here. Limited travel support will be available; applications should be sent together with abstract submission by E-Mail (further details see website). The registration process will be open after the abstract submission deadline. Looking forward to seeing you in Helsingör!

The journal club aims to provide a meeting place for postdoctoral researchers with an interest in climate. Its mode of operation would be decided on by its members, but a starting point could be that one person selects an article for everyone to read and presents it at the meeting for discussion. Benefits of joining are twofold - 1) a chance to get together with the Bolin Centre's postdoctoral community, and 2) an opportunity to gain more from reading papers in our field. The Bolin Centre will contribute by booking and paying for a room for the meetings and arranging and paying for coffee/fika to be delivered to that room. We suggest monthly meetings and voluntary attendance. If you are interested in joining or would just like to find out more, please get in touch with any of us by February 23.

Can´t join us? Watch it live here: https://connect.sunet.se/bolincentre. For more than a century peatlands have been widely used as archives of environmental change. Peat records of biotic (as pollen, diatoms, testate amoebas, plant and animal remains) and abiotic (lithogenic elements, trace metals, isotopes, etc.) proxies has enabled the reconstruction of changes in vegetation, soil erosion, atmospheric pollution and climate, at local and regional scales. At the same time, they are amongst the most sensitive and responsive ecosystems to climate changes, expressed as modifications in surface vegetation, peat organic matter decomposition, ability to bind/sequester chemical elements, and so forth. Through three case studies, this talk will exemplify this ambivalent potential of the use peat records: how can we extract climatic signals from peat (using unusual and usual peat properties), and how this signal helps us to understand the role of climate on the biogechemical cycling of atmospheric deposited elements.

Speaker: Natalie Burls, Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic & Earth Sciences, George Mason University Title: Contrasting the Hydrological Cycle in Past and Future Warm Climates - with implications for Ocean Overturning Circulation When and where: March 8 at 11h15-12h15 in Högbomsalen, Geoscience Building Lunch sandwich: Will be served, please e-mail bolin at su.se if you would like one Abstract During the warm Miocene and Pliocene epochs, subtropical regions had enough precipitation to support rich vegetation and fauna. Only with global cooling and the onset of glacial cycles some 3 million years ago, towards the end of the Pliocene, did the broad patterns of arid and semi-arid subtropical regions become fully developed. However, current projections of future global warming caused by CO2 rise generally suggest the intensification of dry conditions over these subtropical regions, rather than the return to a wetter state. What makes future projections different from these past warm climates? In an effort to answer this question, this talk focuses specifically on the warm Pliocene - the most recent time in Earth's history during which reconstructed atmospheric CO2 concentrations are estimated to have been in the region of 400ppm. We investigate this question by comparing a typical quadrupling-of-CO2 experiment with a simulation driven by sea surface temperatures closely resembling available reconstructions for the early Pliocene. Sensitivity studies exploring cloud controls on tropical climate, and theoretical arguments inferring Pliocene cloud radiative forcing will be discussed, as well as implications for the meridional ocean overturning circulation in the Pacific basin during the Pliocene. The Department of Ethnology, History of Religions and Gender studies invites all interested to: · Mars 14: Open lecture: "Provoking Landscapes: Materiality, Vitality, and Affect in a High Arctic Community" Speaker: Kirsten Hastrup Department of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen Title: Provoking Landscapes: Materiality, Vitality, and Affect in a High Arctic Community When and where: Mars 14, 13h00 in William Olsson-salen, Geoscience Building Abstract The High Arctic landscape at the centre of this presentation is a prime example of landscape as a provocation (Massey 2006), always defying attempts at fixing it in time and space. This particular landscape is currently subject to rapid environmental change and to new political interests. This deeply affects social life in the region, which seems ever more out of bounds. As social communities become increasingly volatile, if not directly indefinable, well-established anthropological vocabularies are challenged.
