Thème : Climate Change
Dates : 28th August - 1st September 2011
Lieu : Salzburg, AUSTRIA
International Conference on the Occasion of the 125 Anniversary of Sonnblick Observatory
The conference aims to bring together climatologist around the world with focus on high mountain regions both
to describe the status of research and to formulate important issues for the near future.
High mountain regions around the world are known to react especially sensitive on climate change. Beside the general interest in the climate of mountain regions its understanding is essential for climate impacts as e.g. changes of glaciers and permafrost and related geo-risks. Although climate research gained much success within the last years in understanding of high mountains climate, the complex geographical structure of mountain regions, however, still limits their climatological understanding and consequently their modelling. Recent efforts provided in particular high quality observational data and process understanding from observations at high mountain observatories.
