abstracts



All posters will be displayed for the entire length of the OSM.
The daily poster sessions will run for 2.5 hours.

poster size

Your poster should fit within a 1.2 m x 1.2 m (4' x 4') space. The international standard A0 size (841 mm × 1189 mm) will fit. For USA and Canada, this is equivalent to ANSI E size (34'' x 44'').
Poster pins will be provided.


poster sessions

The eight OSM poster sessions are organized into groups based on PAGES science structure. Each of the poster sessions covers science highlighted by one Focus or one Cross Cutting Theme (CCT).

Foci sessions will be further sub-divided into clusters based on Foci Themes and Working Groups. Anyone interested in suggesting a poster cluster should contact Thorsten Kiefer.

poster session A & B – Wednesday, 8 July

session A: Climate Forcings (PAGES Focus 1)
This session invites contributions towards a quantitative understanding of the nature, causes and impacts of variations in climate forcings, including primary and secondary as well as natural and anthropogenic (e.g., including solar insolation and irradiance intensity, volcanic activity, land cover, sea ice, and greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations). Research presented in this session provides either improved, extended, and consistent time series of climate forcing parameters or concepts or model results on the causes and impacts of forcings and feedbacks.

poster session E & F – Friday, 10 July

session E: Global-Scale Earth System Dynamics (PAGES Focus 3)
This session looks at interactions between components of the Earth System (atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere) and at the links between regional- and global-scale changes. It addresses the processes underlying global-scale changes, including the response to changes in forcings, internal feedbacks and teleconnections. Activities aim to synthesize records of the hydrological cycle, ocean biogeochemistry, interglacial variability or major rapid climate change at a global scale.

poster session G & H – Saturday, 11 July

session G: Human-Climate-Ecosystem (PAGES Focus 4)
This session addresses the long-term interactions among past climate conditions, ecological processes and human activities. It calls for data and modeling studies that aim to better understand the nature of these interactions, to quantify the roles of different natural and anthropogenic drivers in forcing environmental change, and to examine the feedbacks between anthropogenic activity and the natural system. Emphasis lies in comparing regional-scale studies of environmental and climatic processes using or combining computer models and natural archives, documentary and instrumental data.
