We are delighted to invite you to the Bjerknes Centre´s 10-year Anniversary Conference on Climate Change in High Latitudes to be held in Bergen – The Gateway to the Norwegian Fjord District.

The conference is meant to summarise current knowledge on past, present and future climate changes of the high latitudes in both hemispheres. Climate change is amplified in high latitudes. High latitudes interact with lower latitudes and a number of key processes of global significance are involved.

The Conference will cover both empirical studies and modeling studies (e.g. results from the CMIP5 and CORDEX experiments). 
The Scientific Programme Committee has set up a broad range of topics to be covered by invited and contributing oral presentations and poster sessions.

There will be a series of social events in the programme (included in the conference fee), and we expect projects and organisations to hold side events or workshops before and after the main Conference. The conference is also a unique opportunity to experience Norwegian nature and culture, be it before, during, or after the official programme.

We hope you find the programme attractive and will take this opportunity to participate and visit Bergen, Norway in September 2012.
