April 23, 2008 Is the Earth still recovering from the "Little Ice Age"? A possible cause of global warming. A special presentation by Dr. Syun Akasofu.

February 18, 2008 As a follow up to the August 2007 NSF sponsored workshop on Detecting the Atmospheric Response to the Changing Face of the Earth: A Focus on Human-Caused Regional Climate Forcings, Land-Cover/Land-Use Change, and Data Monitoring held in Boulder, Colorado, two journal special issues are being planned. The first special issue generally dealing with papers under the climate theme will be through the International Journal of Climatology. The second special issue dealing with mesoscale, boundary layer processes will be through Boundary-Layer Meteorology. The timeline for submitting the papers is expected to be finalized shortly. The call for submitting original papers is open to the larger community and not restricted to those who participated in the August Workshop. Authors interested in submitting a paper to either of these special issues can contact Dev Niyogi at for additional information. Workshop website; IJOC website; Journal Website
