Many of today’s grand challenges in climate science revolve around the water cycle. How sensitive are low-level clouds to climate variations? How do large-scale precipitation patterns and extremes evolve with natural and anthropogenic forcings? How do shifts in the hydrological cycle affect ecosystem structure and function, and vice versa?
Water isotope ratios are powerful tools for uncovering the mechanisms driving past, present, and future changes in the global water cycle. With the ability to “tag” moisture as it travels through the atmosphere, ocean, biosphere, and cryosphere, isotopes ratios provide insights into key processes that shape regional to global hydrological variability. The preservation of water isotopes in a diverse array of proxy records makes them an important bridge between past and present climate variability, with key implications for future climate change impacts.
Join us at the Water Isotopes and Climate Workshop in Boulder, Colorado this October to develop new strategies for applying isotope ratios towards understanding and predicting the water cycle’s role in climate variability and change. Workshop topics are likely to include (but are not limited to):
Submitting an abstract is not a prerequisite for participating in the workshop.
Whether you currently work with isotopic tracers or not, if you are interested in climate-related questions with a direct water cycle link, come help us identify the most effective ways to make progress in understanding and predicting water cycle variability and change by applying new isotopic measurement and modeling techniques. One of the workshop’s goals is to bring together a broad group of researchers, including observationalists and modelers, from across various climate-related disciplines. The workshop encourages the participation of scientists internationally.
National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Center Green Campus, Boulder, Colorado. 1-3 October 2019.
The 2.5-day meeting will consist of plenary sessions, including invited overview talks and contributed presentations, interactive poster sessions, and in-depth plenary and breakout discussions. The Organizing Committee anticipates 50-70 participants will attend. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached.
Remote participation for those not attending in person will be available.
Hotel blocks for workshop participants at a reduced rate will be shared with registrants.
Abstracts submission is now closed.
