Climate History Bulletin
April 2023
The session UP3.4 Paleoclimatology and Historical Climatology which will be running during the Annual Meeting of the European Meteorological Society, 4-8 September 2023 in Bratislava, Slovakia is inviting participants. The session welcomes presentations related to:
• early instrumental meteorological measurements, their history and use for the long-term series
• documentary evidence and its features (advantages, disadvantages limits)
• natural climate proxies and its features (advantages, disadvantages, limits)
• methodological improvements and analysis of climate reconstruction approaches both from documentary evidence and natural climatic proxies
• results of climate reconstructions over different regions based on various climatic sources
• hydrological and meteorological extremes (e.g. floods, hurricanes, windstorms, tornadoes, hailstorms, frosts) and their human impacts in relation to climate variability beyond the instrumental period.
• climate modelling of the last 2K and comparison of model outputs with reconstructed/observed climatological data
• past impacts of climate variability on natural processes and human society
• past and recent perception of the climate and its variability
• history of meteorology and meteorological and climatological knowledge
• discussion of natural and anthropogenic forcings as well as recent warming at global, regional and local scales in a long-term context.“
The deadline for abstract submission is 18 April 2023. For more information, contact the convenors: Rudolf Brázdil, Fidel Gonzáles Rouco, Ricardo García Herrera (convenors)
Appel à articles: Revue de géographie historique: “bizarreries climatiques (18e-20e siècles)”: Ce numéro spécial de la Revue de géographie historique a pour but d’en dresser un panorama de l’époque moderne à l’époque contemporaine. Les récits de météophiles, scientifiques, historiens seront une source majeure de documentation. Les articles pourront aussi aborder la représentation de ces bizarreries dans des images ou dans la littérature de fiction ou encore étudier les contes et sources orales qui les abordent. Ils montreront comment les sciences ont, selon les époques, interprété ces phénomènes. Ils pourront également mettre en avant les inventions pour les étudier ou les techniques qui ont permis de mieux les comprendre.
Un résumé de la proposition (500 mots) sera envoyé aux responsables du numéro d’ici le 15 mai. Les articles de 40 000 signes maximum sont à envoyer aux directeurs du numéro spécial pour le 1er novembre 2023. Les informations de mise en page sont disponibles sur le site Internet de la revue. Les articles sont ouverts à toutes les approches disciplinaires. Le processus de révision durera jusqu’au 1er février 2024.
