The XII-th International Symposium Environmental Quality and Land Use, Suceava, 17-19 May 2019 The symposium continues the tradition of scientific manifestations of the Department of Geography of Suceava (the first conference took place in 1996). The symposium will be hosted in the education and research spaces of the „Ştefan cel Mare” University which include modern amphitheaters, conference rooms and laboratories. Main organisers: Vasile Efros, Dean of the Faculty of History and Geography; Despina Saghin, Head of the Department of Geography.…

The goal of this conference is to bring together the global community of scientists working on the ecology and dynamics of temperate and boreal primeval forests, and their interaction with local people. The participants are offered the opportunity to present their current research and to discuss how global change might affect temperate and boreal primeval forests. Apart from contributions on primeval forests, we also welcome those dealing with formerly managed forests which are protected as forest reserves and on the…

The conference welcomes contributions on all aspects of mountain meteorology and climatology: - Dynamics of dry and moist orographically forced airflow - Boundary layer processes over complex terrain - Orographic clouds and precipitation - Recent and future field campaigns - Challenges in weather forecasting in mountainous areas - Numerical weather prediction over complex terrain (incl. data assimilation and predictability studies) - Mountain climates and impacts of climate change - Meteorological processes affecting air quality, water resources, renewable energy harvesting, ecosystems,…

Dear colleagues, dear Mountain researchers, dear participants of the Perth III conference! We wish to inform you about the International Mountain Conference 2019 (IMC2019) that will take place from 8-12 September 2019 in Innsbruck, Austria and builds upon the “Perth conference series”.  It will focus particularly on the responses of mountains to climate and other changes, and their resilience as social-ecological systems.  If you would like to contribute to this with regard to your research, get cross‑disciplinary insights and support…

This colloquium aims at presenting and transferring the results of the OPCC2 project and its associated projects CLIMPY, REPLIM, CANOPEE, FLORAPYR and PIRAGUA. In addition, there will be a session dedicated to the valorization of good practices in climate change adaptation in the Pyrenees and a more institutional session that will rely on the interventions of organizations such as the Alpine Convention, the DG Climate and representatives from the main research networks in mountain areas at the European level.

Developing a roadmap to science-based, user-driven knowledge and information systems supporting sustainable development and risk reduction in mountain and downstream regions. Full programme details can be found on the WMO High Mountain Summit website. 

One of the main goals of the Caucasus Mountain Forum 2019 – organized under the heading 'The Caucasus Research Agenda - A Key to Sustainable Regional Development' – is to formally approve the Caucasus Research Agenda. Accordingly, this year’s CMF theme encompasses the subject areas covered in the Research Agenda, with a focus on identifying the current state of knowledge in the Caucasus region, key challenges and opportunities, and priority gaps for scientific research and development.
