Bjerknessenteret at Arendalsuka

This year we are involved in organising, together with The Research Council of Norway and Innovation Norway, an agenda-setting meeting addressing the transition that climate change compels on our society and economy. We’re also organising meetings on the Arctic as well as inviting school kids in trips to the island Merdø and to Statsraad L. where they will learn about climate models. 

Seminar: How to publish in Nature

Graham Simpkins is an editor at Nature Climate Change. He cover the physical climate science manuscripts at Nature Climate Change, including atmospheric science, cryosphere, oceanography, and climate dynamics. His PhD, from UNSW, Australia, was on large-scale climate variability in the Southern Hemisphere, with a particular focus on tropical-extratropical interactions.
