The Arctic Palaeoclimate and its Extremes (APEX) Second International
Conference will be held on 1-4 April 2008, in Durham, UK. The conference
will comprise two and a half days of presentations and discussions on
current arctic research, including those related to the International
Polar Year 2007-2008.
APEX is a network research program aiming to understand arctic climatic
changes beyond instrumental records and which builds on the work of
PONAM and QUEEN. The particular emphasis is on the magnitude/frequency
of climate variability and, in particular, the "extremes" versus
"normal" conditions of the climate system. It is an interdisciplinary
program that integrates marine and terrestrial science and utilizes
modeling and field observations. APEX involves scientists from fifteen
European countries, Canada, and USA, and is one of the coordinating
programs for palaeoclimate research during 2007-2008.
Delegates are invited to submit an abstract for either a presentation or
poster. The deadline for submissions is Friday, 29 February 2008. More
information is available at:

There is a limited amount of funding available for travel support,
particularly for participants from Eastern Europe and postgraduate
students. Applicants should submit a short CV and travel budget by
Friday, 8 February 2008, to:
