------------------------------
Conference Focus
A major international conference on Climate Change will be held in London,
England on 22-26 August 2014.The conference is for any one with an interest
in, and concern for, scientific, policy and strategic perspectives in
climate change. It will address a range of critically important themes
relating to the vexing question of climate change. Plenary speakers will
include some of the world’s leading thinkers in the fields of climatology
and environmental science, as well as numerous paper, workshop and
colloquium presentations by researchers and practitioners. We are inviting
proposals for paper presentations, workshops/interactive sessions,
posters/exhibits, or colloquia. Virtual participation is available for
those who are unable to attend the conference in person. Proposal ideas
that extend beyond these thematic areas below will also be considered:
Theme 1: Scientific Evidence
What is evidence is there of climate change?
- Paleoclimatology: the earth’s climate in a long view
- Climate change today: examining the data
- Ice cap reduction and glacial melt
- Sea level change
- Floods, drought, forest fires, hurricanes and other sporadic events
- Albedo or measuring the earth’s reflectiveness
- Meteorology and climate informatics
- Equilibria and disequilibria: change processes and countervailing
tendencies
- Climate measurement processes, methodologies and technologies
- Reading complex, dynamic and unstable systems
- Developing local and global climate models
- Change scenarios: slow, rapid, abrupt or episodic
------------------------------
Theme 2: Assessing Impacts in Divergent Ecosystems
What are the impacts of climate change on natural environments?

strategies
- Carbon taxes, offsets and trading
- Emission standards
