Please see below for details of an upcoming CLIVASH2k workshop, which will be in collaboration with AntClim21.

Climate Variability in Antarctica and the Southern Hemisphere in the past 2000 years
Tuesday 4th- Wednesday 5th September 2018
British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, UK.

CLIVASH2k is a PAGES 2k project, which aims to improve our understanding of large scale modes of climate variability and the mechanisms and drivers of climate change in Antarctica, the sub-Antarctic and the wider Southern Hemisphere during the past 2000 years. Investigating how large-scale modes of atmospheric circulation, such as the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO), influence the climate in Antarctica and the Southern Hemisphere on a regional scale.

AntClim21 is a SCAR research programme which aims to deliver improved regional predictions of key elements of the Antarctic atmosphere, ocean and cryosphere for the next 20 to 200 years and to understand the responses of the physical and biological systems to natural and anthropogenic forcing factors.

These two groups are coming together for a 2-day workshop investigating climate variability in Antarctica and the Southern Hemisphere over the past 2000 years.

The workshop goals
The workshop is open to all. We want to engage a broad spectrum of the scientific community, including paleoclimate both data gathers (such as ice cores, lake sediments, marine records, and terrestrial records), climatologists and climate modellers.

We especially encourage those who wish to actively contribute to the CLIVASH2k and AntClim21 project goals, including contribution to synthesis products and publications. The workshop will be informative but be prepared to get involved!

Our aim is to review and evaluate our current understanding of the drivers of Southern Hemisphere climate variability, through short presentations, posters and discussion sessions.

Travel grants: A small number of travel grants will hopefully be available for participants. Priority will be given to PhD students and those from developing countries. Please indicate when registering if you require financial assistance.

Special issue: In association with this workshop we have a special issue of Geosciences. We invite you to submit high quality original research articles and reviews on climate variability in Antarctica and the Southern Hemisphere over the last millennia.
