Submit yours online through www.bom.gov.au/events/anzcf2010/submit.shtml

The Australia – New Zealand Climate Forum will be held in Hobart from 13 to 15 October, hosted by the Bureau of Meteorology and the Antarctic Climate & Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre. An exciting meeting of minds on climate and related research, it is an ideal opportunity to show off what you have been working on. The guiding theme for the Australia – New Zealand Climate Forum 2010 is Southern Hemisphere Climate: features * findings * futures. The motto is Southern Exposure, with particular focus on the role of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean in the climate of Australia and New Zealand. Abstracts are invited for each of the themes:

* The living planet – Southern Hemisphere Climate: ecology * Impacts on humanity – Southern Hemisphere Climate: the human habitat * Observing – Southern Hemisphere Climate: observations and data * Linkages – Southern Hemisphere Climate: high/low latitude interaction * Changes – Southern Hemisphere Climate: changes in the past, present and future

Instead of poster sessions, shorter contributions will be in the form of lightning lectures. About 5 minutes long, these are perfect for presenting preliminary results, interesting data, or even just a few ideas you’ve had. They are also ideal for students and early-career researchers.

________________________________ Registration now open
