14/03/2010 - 19/03/2010 Climate changes are thought to have contributed to the decline of ancient civilisations such as those of the Maya in southeastern Mexico and Central America or Pueblo Indians in North America. An eruption buried ancient Akrotiri on the island of Santorini and may have even accelerated the decline of the Minoan culture. Today, societies remain vulnerable to climate changes, rising sea levels, and natural disasters.
This interdisciplinary conference aims at fostering understanding of the impact of climate change and natural disasters on past and present societies, with an emphasis on anthropogenic impacts in increasingly complex systems. Topics are set to include:
- 'The Cretaceous/Tertiary Boundary and the Chicxulub Impact Crater';
- 'Climate and Environmental Change and Early Civilizations';
- 'Volcanism and Earthquakes';
- 'Abrupt Climate Changes';
- 'Global Warming: The next 100 years';
- 'Megacities and Natural Hazards';
- 'Ecological Effects of Global Change';
- 'Geo-Hydrology';
- 'Complex Systems in Geosciences';
- 'Uncertainty Management in Geosciences';
- 'Planetary Engineering'.
The event is sponsored by the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Centro de Investigacion Cientifica de Yucatan and the European Geosciences Union. 15/03/2010 - 18/03/2010 Barcelona, Spain Co-organised by the forthcoming Spanish Presidency of the European Union and by the European Commission, with the cooperation of the Government of Catalonia and the Foundation TicSalut, the High Level eHealth Conference 2010, the 8th edition in the series of ministerial events representing an important annual milestone in the field of ICT for healthcare, aims to support dissemination of eHealth best practices. 17/03/2010 - 18/03/2010 The Vale Hotel, Golf & Spa Resort, Hensol near Cardiff
