Water and Ice, 20th Anniversary Symposium, Swiss Committee on Polar Research
17 September 2004, Bern Switzerland
Type of Event: Symposium
Theme: Switzerland is the water castle of Europe. The solid and liquid phases
of water have always played a special role in Swiss research. From the abyss
of the ocean to the heights of the stratosphere, from the glaciers in the Alps
to the polar ice sheets, the cycle of water shapes the Earth's climate. The
delicate balance of the global hydrological cycle is the source of the biggest
uncertainties and surprises in our attempt to assess future climate change.
The symposuim Water and Ice commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Swiss
Committee on Polar Research of the Council of the Swiss Scientific Academies
and presents the latest results and highlights of science on water and ice on
Earth.

Antarctic Peninsula Climate Variability: History, Causes and Impacts
16-18 September 2004, Cambridge, UK
Type of Event: Workshop
Theme: The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most rapidly warming areas on
Earth. Understanding the cause of this dramatic regional change, its future
predictability and likely impacts requires a truly interdisciplinary approach.

Frontiers and Opportunities in Antarctic Geosciences
29-31 August 2004, Certosa di Pontignano (Siena), Italy
Scheduled to follow the 32nd IGC
Type of Event: Workshop
Conveners: C.A.Ricci (Italy), C. Siddoway and T. Wilson (USA)
Workshop details are posted under "Forthcoming Events" at the Museo
Nationale dell'Antartide website, www.mna.it/english/News/novita_set.htm .
Workshop Aims: This international workshop will be a forum for discussion
of scientific goals and outstanding problems in Antarctic earth science, new
techniques or technologies suited to the Antarctic continent and near-shore
environment, and potential international collaborative ventures. The workshop
will offer an opportunity to gain information about current and future geosciences
research in Antarctica, for researchers who have interest in undertaking new
studies of the continent and for geoscientists presently engaged in Antarctic
research. Those with prior experience can acquaint others with outcomes of recent
research, successful international collaborations, and interdisciplinary scientific
programs in geology, geophysics and glaciology. Individuals who are new to Antarctic
research may outline ideas for new investigations and gain valuable knowledge
of sources of support from international Antarctic programs, and of possible
collaborative opportunities within the international research community.
