Hi Everyone,
For those of you interested in Palaeo ice sheets, there is a fantastic summer school being organised in Norway in August (see below).
Cheers,
Aisling

Subject: [PMIPn news] Please circulate: ACDC summer school in Norway, August, 2013
We would like to draw your attention to the
ADVANCED CLIMATE DYNAMICS COURSE (ACDC) 2013 on THE DYNAMICS OF THE LAST DEGLACIATION
which will take place 19.-31. of August 2013 at Nyksund located in the Vesterålen Islands in northern Norway.
Detailed information is available online at: http://www.bccr.no/acdc/.
We would appreciate if you could post the attached flyer at your institution.
Advanced graduate students and early post-docs are encouraged to apply. The registration will open shortly and APPLICATION DEADLINE is the 28th of February 2013. Local expenses will be covered and travel grants are available for qualified applicants.
The main focus of this year's course will be on the understanding of the basic principles and dynamics of the last deglaciation as observed in paleoclimate archives (marine, terrestrial and ice cores). Topics to be included are:
• atmospheric dynamics and impact of changing ice topography
• ocean dynamics and impact of melting ice sheets
• models of the deglaciation and importance of radiative forcing
• paleoceanography and proxies of deglacial ocean climate and circulation
• terrestrial paleoclimate and archives of deglacial climate change
• ice cores and proxies of deglacial climate
The course aims to provide an environment for engaging discussions between all participants (students and lecturers), exchange of concepts and ideas between oceanography, paleoclimate and glaciology, and identification of key scientific challenges.
The list of confirmed lecturers include:
David Battisti (U. Washington), Ray Bradley (U. Amherst), Jerry McManus (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory), Axel Timmermann (U. Hawaii), Lev Tarasov (Memorial U.), Kerim Nisancioglu (BCCR/U. Bergen), Tore Furevik (BCCR/U. Bergen), Patrick Heimbach (MIT), Jostein Bakke (BCCR/U. Bergen), Camille Li (BCCR/U. Bergen) and Øyvind Paasche (U. Bergen), amongst others.
The course is sponsored by the Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Higher Education (http://siu.no), the Research Council of Norway (http://rcn.no), and the Norwegian Research School in Climate Dynamics (http://resclim.no).
On behalf of the organizers,
Kerim Nisancioglu (BCCR/UIB)
David Battisti (U. Washington)
Tore Furevik (BCCR/UiB)
Jake Gebbie (Harvard University)
Patrick Heimbach (MIT)
