Climate change caused by global warming represents one of the greatest
challenges of the 21st Century, necessitating the engagement of all
sections of society, local and global. This conference will address the
climate variability at different time and spatial scales by taking into
account the coupling between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere,
cryosphere, and geosphere. Beyond the comprehensive analysis of climate
variability and its causes, the conference will address the predicted
effects of climate change on ecosystems, agriculture, human health and
infrastructure.
The European Science Foundation-Japan Society for the Promotion of
Science (ESF-JSPS) conference will bring together leading researchers
and young scientists from Europe and Japan to review recent progress and
future prospects in their areas of expertise. An interactive session
among participants will give the opportunity to discuss future trends
and needs in climate research. Poster sessions are planned, with posters
on display for the whole duration of the conference.
Sessions will focus on the following topics:
- Intraseasonal, Seasonal, Interannual Variations: Atmospheric
Variability
- Decadal, Centennial, Millennial Variations: Variability of
Atmosphere-Ocean System
- Variations for Million-to-Billion Years: Change of the Earth System
(Atmosphere-Hydrosphere-Biosphere-Cryosphere-Geosphere)
- Climate Variability: Spatial Scale Issues
- Future Climate Change
- Ecological Effects of Climate Change
- Human Dimensions of Climate Change
- The Future of Climate Change
