2nd Baltic Earth Conference

Datum: 11. - 15. Juni 2018
Webseite: http://www.baltic.earth/helsingor2018/
Ort: Helsingor, DENMARK
Beschreibung: Baltic Earth strives to achieve an improved Earth System understanding of the Baltic Sea region as the basis for science-based management in the face of climatic, environmental and human impact in the region. Baltic Earth brings together a broad international research community around core scientific issues identified as fundamental to informing societal efforts to achieve sustainability in the region. Baltic Earth targets the atmosphere, land and marine environment of the Baltic Sea, its drainage basin and nearby areas with relevance for the Baltic Sea region.

The conference will cover all themes and topics of Baltic Earth, in particular highlighting the Baltic Earth Grand Challenges as defined by the Baltic Earth Science Plan.The grand topic of the conference „The Baltic Sea region in transition“ refers to transition processes in the Baltic Sea and its catchment basin, as well as in the regional climatic and socio-economic system. In addition to this, we invite contributions which are related to processes in the transition area between the Baltic the North Sea regions, e.g. oceanographic in- and outflow events and associated consequences for Baltic Sea biogeochemistry, ecology and human uses, specific conditions of the Belts and Sounds area including human pressures like eutrophication and shipping, regional sea level rise as well as similarities and differences in the BACC and NOSCCA climate change assessments.

The Baltic Earth Science Plan is organized along specific interdisciplinary research challenges which have been formulated by the Baltic Earth Science Steering Group. Additional topics are treated by dedicated Working Groups. The sessions of this conference will reflect these topics:

  • Salinity dynamics

  • Land-Sea-Atmosphere biogeochemical feedbacks

  • Natural hazards and high impact events

  • Sea level dynamics, coastal morphology and erosion

  • Regional variability of water and energy exchanges

  • Multiple drivers for regional Earth system changes

  • Regional climate system modeling

  • Other regional seas

Contributions related to any of these scientific fields are welcome. In addition, invited and contributed papers will be presented along with parallel poster sessions. The conference is also intended as discussion forum for scientists, managers and other stakeholders. Conference language is English.
