The challenge of developing these tools forms the theme of the 2010 Ocean Sciences meeting. This overarching theme emphasizes efforts to link observations and models to form superior predictions across multiple space and time scales. It encompasses research focusing on some aspect of observations, models, and also field or laboratory experiments that ultimately seek to enhance our predictive ability, as well as efforts focusing on education, outreach, and marine policy.

A conference for 50-60 policy makers, politicians, academic and NGO experts and business people to be held at Wilton Park which will examine the following issues: The effects of global warming are reflected with greatest intensity in the polar regions. The Arctic, once politically and literally frozen, is melting at a pace much faster than envisaged. What are the implications for energy and other resource supplies, the environment and fishing, transport and shipping? How can key countries and stakeholders, including the scientific community, work together to address these? What are the appropriate governance institutions and mechanisms that will be needed?

The diversity of attendees sets this conference apart from any other. No publisher Raven Conference 2010-01-04T16:02:51Z Event http://www.polarconservation.org/future-events/polar-climate-and-environmental-change-in-the-last-millennium The aim of the conference is to present scientific achievements, detect gaps in the field of the historical climatology of the area of polar regions based on early meteorological observations, history, dendroclimatology, paleolimnology, geophysics, geomorphology and other sources. No publisher Raven Conference 2010-01-04T16:28:41Z Event http://www.polarconservation.org/future-events/international-glaciological-conference-201cice-and-climate-change-a-view-from-the-south201d-vicc-2010 The objective of the Conference is to present new results and discuss ongoing cryospheric and climate changes in the Southern Hemisphere and their impacts and consequences on society and the environment. Although the main focus will be glaciology and climatology, we hope to foster interdisciplinary discourse about climate change through the contribution of other disciplines in earth sciences and social sciences.

The 2010 QRA Annual Discussion Meeting will address these interactions through themed sessions that aim to explore the different spatial and temporal scales of sea-level change.
