Good afternoon!

Could you please share this information with your colleagues regarding the Sun-Climate Symposium coming up in 2025?

Thanks!

2025 Sun-Climate Symposium
Exploring the Sun’s Role in a Changing Cryosphere
March 31 – April 4, 2025, Fairbanks, Alaska
We are pleased to announce the 2025 Sun-Climate Symposium, which is sponsored by the Sun-Climate Research Center, a joint venture between NASA GSFC and LASP at the University of Colorado.  This Sun-Climate Symposium is planned as an in-person meeting in Fairbanks, Alaska, USA for March 31 – April 4, 2025 with the science theme of "Exploring the Sun’s Role in a Changing Cryosphere”.  We encourage participation from all aspects of climate studies and solar variability research in this multidisciplinary, international Sun-Climate Symposium.  The following are the sessions and focus topics being planned.
Session 1.  Sun-climate variability - present and past
·         Latest results for TSI and SSI variability
·         Updates from sun-climate modeling
·         Reconstructions of TSI and SSI variability
·         Solar irradiance missions: past, current, and future
Session 2.  The present state of polar climate
·         Variability of polar climate (snow, ice, land, atmosphere-ocean coupling)
·         Importance of solar spectral absorption and albedo for snow and ice
Session 3. Paleoclimate studies (centuries to millennia)
·         Latest results of long-term climate changes in Earth’s atmosphere and cryosphere
·         Solar activity and climate change derived from ice cores and tree rings
·         Volcanic activity and their influences on climate
Session 4. Needs for future Earth observations and models for climate change research
·         Improvements for spatially resolved and hyperspectral observations of Earth
·         Advances needed for Earth science and climate change models
·         Future variability and trends of snow and ice distributions
We hope you can attend this interactive symposium in person, so please save these dates (March 31 – April 4, 2025).  We will be sending out more information in the coming months about the venue and abstract submissions.  We encourage your participation and hope that you will share this announcement with colleagues. Please feel free to contact any of the Science Organizing Committee (SOC) members for any of your questions, as well as contacting the conference coordinator, Kelly Boden (kelly.boden at lasp.colorado.edu<mailto:kelly.boden at lasp.colorado.edu>).

Please save the date and plan to join us!
