Invitation to Apply: Modes of Variability in the Climate System Conference

*Modes of Variability in the Climate System: Past-Present-Future*
27 May - 1 June 2012

Chaired by:
*Hubertus Fischer* - University of Bern, CH
*Eric. W. Wolff* - British Antarctic Survey, UK

*Programme*

This Conference aims at putting together the world`s most renowned
scientists in the field of past and future global change and in
particular experts in the current operation of modes in the climate
system and their past variability. The conference presentations will
characterize the mechanisms behind the most important modes and
teleconnection patterns in the ocean, atmosphere and on land at all
latitudes and their changes in the past in order to improve
predictability of climate variability in the future. This includes past
and future changes of modes and climate variability as well as feedbacks
of those changes in climate modes on biogeochemical cycles that may lead
to amplification of climate changes.

*Sponsor a Conference*

This conference will be providing the opportunity for leading scientists
and young researchers to meet for discussions on the most recent
developments in their fields of research. We enable collaboration
between international scientists from EU, first world and emerging
countries which acts as a catalyst for creating new synergistic global
contacts across disciplines.

We invite you to join us in harnessing this great potential, working
towards an even more cohesive scientific force in Europe and beyond by
contributing to our intense, dynamic and fun events.
