"Central and Eastern Europe Paleoscience Symposium: From Local to Global" CONFERENCE organized by Cirques and Lakes Research Team with support of PAGES

To coincide with PAGES' annual SSC meeting, PAGES will host a symposium addressing various aspects of paleoclimatology for the Central and Eastern European paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental community.

Coming at a time when the topics of climate change and energy policy are seldom far from the headlines, Taking Earth's Temperature: Delving into Climate's Past shows the value and relevance of research into past climates.

CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE MOUNTAINS. TRANSECT WEST TO EAST. FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA TO ROMANIAN CARPATHIANS

A Cirques&Lakes Team of University of Suceava and Applied Geography Association GEOCONCEPT (Marcel Mindrescu and Daniel Forgaci) is ready for Scientific Expeditions in the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. We will pay attention mostly of Bendor and Shulaps Ranges. We are accompanied by professor Ian S. Evans who is revisiting this region for the 14th time, his first visit here was in 1964. So our results will be compared with what he got from previous visits, especially maps, notes and photos of glacial features and deposits, glaciers advances and/or retreats, firn and snow distribution and thickness, glacial cirques morphometry, etc.
Also we are here to join Ian for his last visit here (this is region for his PhD thesis) as a tribute for being the most important mentor, and only professional one in my career, in the field of geomorphology, especially glacial geomorphology. It is a great honor for us to take part of this expedition along with the best glacial geomorphologist over the world as mentor, friend and great charcter person. Thank you Ian for making all these possible for us.
We would like to thanks to our life partners, our families and best friends for their support and patience.
Personally I am deeply greatful to former professor and friend Gary Davis from St. John, Canada for his support and today gift. He is supporting me since I was PhD student including my expedition in Himalayas in 2011.Thank you, Gary.
This expedition is for science prupose and to promote Romanian research group (far away from our home) from our home university and we dedicate this to all our best friends mentioned above. Thank you all very much and for sure we will miss our home friends but we promise to stay safe and get good results in order to understand climate change better. See you soon.

Sincerely yours,
Dr. Marcel Mindrescu

A study in New Phytologist, emerging from a PAGES-supported meeting in Aug 2012, addresses climate refugia (locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate) and reviews three major methods used to infer their existence. http://goo.gl/UuoF6V

SAGEHEN Creek, Sierra Nevada-Locul unde s-a nascut Geomorphologia Fluviala (The place where fluvial geomorphology was born)

Sagenhen Creek Field Station este o statie de cercetare din Sierra Nevada activa de peste 63 de ani.Astazi este una dintre cele 39 de baze de cercetare (!!!) apartinand Universitatii Berkley din California. Poate caza pana la 50 de persoane si detine 19 cladiri inclusiv biblioteca/computer lab, doua sali de clasa, bucatarie comuna, spatii de birou si laborator de observatii piscicole.
De aceasta statie sta legat inceputurile geomorfologiei fluviale din anii 50'. Luna B. Leopold a utilizat o metoda simpla de evaluare a transportului de aluviuni grosiere din lungul paralui Sagehen. Luna a vopsit mai multe pietre din albia paraului si a facut masuratori repetate (revisiting) pentru evaluarea transportului de aluviuni din albia paraului.Pentru ca a folosit o vopsea foarte buna,pe baza de plumb, unele dintre acele pietre mai pot fi vazute/gasite chiar si astazi. Astfel se nastea geomorfologia fluviala cantitativa.Unele dintre metodele sale sunt inca folosite si in zilele noastre.

New report, Time for Change?, from UCL Policy Commission on Communicating Climate Science, discusses why we need to move from the current "linear" model of science informing society to a co-production model. This would require changes in how we communicate, how we train scientists, the approach to policy creation, as well as the creation of a professional body ... combined with a bit of robust self-evaluation. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/public-policy/policy_commissions/Communication-climate-science/
