Comparative Climatology Symposium: New Approaches to Climate Research

After being alerted to the Comparative Climatology Symposium at NASA HQ tomorrow (see agenda below) I took a look at some of the recent papers/articles by the scheduled presenters.  Several on the list to read - these look particularly interesting:

Several others to follow.

Comparative Climatology Symposium: 

New Approaches to Climate Research 

 


Category: Planetary Exploration


Event Format: Symposium

Date: Tuesday, May 7, 2013

Location: NASA Headquarters Auditorium 300 EST SW, Washington, DC 20546, US

The symposium will highlight the similarities and contrasts between the environments of the terrestrial planets: Venus, Earth, Mars, and Titan. Presentations will cover current Earth climate models, Earth observation, past and current Venus missions (as a laboratory for Earth climate), observational studies of the Terrestrial planets (exoplanets), and the influence of the Sun on climate. The Symposium will conclude with a panel discussion and Q/A.
