Nov 21-23, 2011 | Regional Climate Services Workshop 2011 | University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
The Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium and the Institute for Coastal Research, Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht in Germany, are calling for abstracts in anticipation of the PCIC-hosted Regional Climate Services Workshop.
"Exploring Regional Climate Services: Meeting Stakeholder Needs for Practical Climate Information" will consider the ways in which climate information is communicated to stakeholders, what kind of information stakeholders need, how regional culture influences the flow of information, and the role that regional climate services play in mediating the flow of information.
Visit PCIC's Regional Climate Services Workshop 2011 page for more information, which includes an online form for submitting your abstract or registering as a participant in the workshop.
Nov 29 - Dec 2, 2011 | Behavior, Energy and Climate Change Conference | Washington, DC
The Behavior, Energy and Climate Change Conference is the fifth annual conference focused on understanding the nature of individual and organizational behavior and decision making, and using that knowledge to accelerate our transition to an energy-efficient and low carbon economy. It will build on the overwhelming success of previous BECC conferences, at which more than 650 participants discussed successful policy and program strategies, shared important research findings, and built dynamic new networks and collaborations.

Jan 22-26, 2012 | AMS 92nd Annual Meeting | New Orleans, LA
The American Meteorological Society is announcing the 92nd Annual Meeting.
The central theme of the 2012 AMS Annual Meeting will be technology and its profound impacts on research, operations, the business of our environmental sciences, and the public. These advancements in environmental awareness and knowledge have greatly lowered the human suffering and loss of life in the United States and around the world from the deadly and costly effects of extreme weather and ecological disasters. This meeting will focus on past, current, and future advances that should be of wide interest and value to AMS members. Also to be considered by members in discussion of these topics should be the link between the advancement of complex technologies and our improving confidence in the end parameters and their linkage across scales and processes, such as are represented in hurricane prediction.
For more information visit the AMS website.
