 CarboSur Symposium in the LBA Conference
- 27-29 July 2008, Manaos, Brazil
- The purpose of the meeting is to bring together scientists working on the carbon-climate-human system (including land, oceans, and atmosphere) of South America to explore the establishment of a CarboSur network to support and further promote research on the topic. Presentations are invited from all carbon topics on South America.

Atmospheric Tracer Transport Model Intercomparison Project (Transcom)
Effects of Climate Change on the World's Oceans
- 19- 23 May, 2008, Gijon, Spain
- the Symposium will focus on the major issues of climate change that affect the oceans: oceanic circulation, climate modelling, cycling of carbon and other elements, acidification, oligotrophy, changes in species distributions and migratory routes, sea-level rise, coastal erosion, etc. There is a session on "Marine carbon cycling and other biogeochemical cycles"

Vulnerability
and Opportunity of Methane Hydrates Workshop
- 13-14 March 2008, IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria
- Methane hydrates are an energy source of potentially staggering
magnitude compared with other known hydrocarbon deposits. It
is found in deposits in Polar Regions and in costal shelves
around the world. Both global warming and the decision to extract
them (if it becomes economically feasible) could open a large
new source of carbon to the atmosphere over the next century
with its associated impacts to climate change. The workshop
will explore the risks for large releases over this century
based on present trends in global warming, technological development,
and energy economics.
