Room: Hemerycksalen
Time: 16.30 – 18.00
Session chairs: Prof. Ilona Riipinen (Stockholm University), Dr. Paul Miller (Lund University)
This session will cover basic natural science climate change questions, centered around the question of quantifying climate sensitivity. Addressing basic physical processes governing climate change, such as radiation budget, feedbacks, heat transports, carbon cycle, climate sensitivity, etc. Observations, paleo and model-based approaches are welcome, as well as overview presentations.
Minor changes to the program may occur.
