Scenarios meeting
A CRU mini-symposium on scenarios of possible future climate will be held on Tuesday 4th September 2007.
The purpose will be to increase communication within CRU about complementary research that is being undertaken on the subject of climate scenarios, covering all topics including GCMs, RCMs, downscaling, future extremes, pattern scaling, probability, impacts of climate change, etc.
There will be a number of short and informal talks and discussion, plus some refreshments and perhaps drinks or a meal in the evening.
