In addition to the SS 55, SCOR WG134 on Microbial Carbon Pump in the Ocean is also planning an ASLO Emerging Seminar immediately after the ASLO meeting (on Feb.18-20, 2011); this is an
open meeting and all are welcome to join us.

Autumn 2012
The symposium aims to attract more than 300 of the world's leading scientists to discuss the impacts of ocean acidification on marine organisms, ecosystems, and biogeochemical cycles. It will also cover socio-economic consequences of ocean acidification, including policy and management implications. The international planning committee will meet in December 2010 to develop the scientific program for the symposium.  Please contact Ed Urban (Ed.Urban@scor-int.org) if you would like to provide ideas for symposium topics.  Inputs will be collated and provided to the planning committee.

13–17 December 2010, San Francisco, California, United States
Contributions are invited on regional land and ocean carbon budgets using top-down
(atmospheric measurements and inversions) and bottom-up (biogeochemical
models, forest inventories, pCO2, flux measurements, ocean inversions, etc)
approaches. The focus is on large-scale regions from countries to continents and
ocean basins. The session supports the progress of the REgional Carbon Cycle
Assessment and Processes (RECCAP) [http://www.globalcarbonproject.org/reccap].

7-9 November 2010, National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, Tokyo, Japan
The purpose of the Asia-Pacific meeting is to activate and strengthen ISIE activities in the Asia-Pacific region. The purpose of the MFA-ConAccount meeting is to develop material flow analysis internationally in academia and to promote its application in policy and businesses.
Deadline of abstract submission: 31 May 2010

1-3 November 2010, Yokohama, Japan
The overall aim of this workshop is the capacity building of Asia-Pacific young researchers and to discuss the issues and opportunities for carbon governance for developing low carbon societies in Asia. It will include local, national, regional, and global aspects.

27-29 October 2010, Dublin Convention Centre, Dublin, Ireland
Land use change for bioenergy production is often cited as a way of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, although the impacts and consequences are often unclear, particularly at the ecosystem scale. This workshop will provide an analysis of the impacts of different land use conversions for bioenergy production as well as an assessment of their mitigation potential, including model projections.
If you are interested in participating please contact Bruce Osborne (Bruce.Osborne@ucd.ie) indicating the type of data you are able to contribute.
 

6-8 October 2010, Viterbo, Italy
Workshop entitled "Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment on Land and Oceans".
Draft agenda (pdf, 43kb)
 

22-24 September 2010, LPNU, Lviv, Ukraine
This workshop covers state-of-the-art research and developments in accounting, verifying and trading GHG emissions and provides a multidisciplinary forum for international experts to address the methodological uncertainties underlying these activities. Scientists, experts as well as policymakers are invited and encouraged to participate.

6-8th September 2010, Worcester College, Oxford, UK
The European Space Agency is convening a workshop to identify the necessary steps to implement the Integrated Global Carbon Observing System. The workshop has as its objective the generation of a consolidated position paper on the IGCO for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. To achieve this, the workshop will have four dedicated sessions with keynote presentations, discussion and break-out groups.

22-23 February 2010 in London, United Kingdom
The meeting will discuss the scientific issues relevant to greenhouse gas measurement and modelling, both in the atmosphere, land and ocean, on regional and global scales, and will consider the developing national and global responses to the greenhouse challenge.  New scientific advances promise regional audits of emissions, assessment of uptakes, and better understanding of controlling and feedback processes. Speakers include leaders in both measurement and modelling, from North America, continental Europe, the Pacific, and the UK.  Audience input is an important part of the meeting, and all attendees are actively encouraged to participate in the discussion to shape the agenda for the next 20 years.
