Second International Conference -"Arctic Palaeoclimate and its Extremes (APEX) -
Recent Advances"

April 1-4, 2008. Department of Geography, Durham University, Durham, UK

PLEASE NOTE THE ABSTRACT/REGISTRATION DEADLINE FOR THIS MEETING HAS BEEN
EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 29/08.

 

APEX - "Arctic Palaeoclimate and its EXtremes" is a network research programme
aiming to understand Arctic climatic changes beyond instrumental records. Our
particular emphasis is to focus on the magnitude/frequency of the climate
variability and, in particular, the "extremes" versus the "normal" conditions
of the climate system. It is an interdisciplinary programme that integrates
marine and terrestrial science and utilizes modelling and field observations.
APEX involves scientists from 15 European countries, Canada and USA, includes 
geologists, geomorphologists, modelers and palaeo-oceanographers and is one of
the coordinating programmes for palaeoclimate research during the International
Polar Year (IPY) 2007/2008.

The Second APEX Conference will comprise two and a half days of presentations on
current Arctic research including that related to the International Polar Year
2007/2008. The conference will be hosted by Durham University, in Durham City,
NE England. It is open to all researchers with an interest in Arctic
palaeo-climate. There is a limited amount of funding available for travel
support, particularly for participants from Eastern Europe and postgraduate
students.  If you would like to apply for this funding, please provide a short
CV and travel budget and send to Niamh McElherron (email:
c.n.mcelherron at durham.ac.uk <mailto:c.n.mcelherron at durham.ac.uk> ) by Friday
8th February 2008.


Keynote speakers:

Professor Shawn Marshall, Department of Geography, University of Calgary, Canada


Professor Dennis Darby, Department of Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Old
Dominion University, Norfolk, USA
