Milutin Milankovitch 130
Anniversary Symposium
Climate Change at the Eve of the
Second Decade of the Century
To commemorate 130 years of the birth of Milutin Milankovitch, founder of the
mathematical approach to the study of climate change, Serbian Academy of
Sciences and Arts (SASA) is organizing an international symposium, in Belgrade,
22-25 September 2009
Milutin Milankovitch Anniversary
Symposium:
Climate Change at the Eve of the Second Decade of the Century
Inferences from paleoclimate, and regional aspects
The rapid global climate change in progress is to be reviewed, including some
historical aspects recalling the role of Milankovitch; followed by invited and
contributed papers addressing recent developments in paleoclimate, the use of
paleo data to asses the future climate under various greenhouse gas scenarios,
and the regional climate change, focusing on its basic modeling issues and on
the impacts in the Southeastern Europe-Mediterranean area. This last segment is
to include sessions on Climate Change and Hydrological Extremes, and
Ecohydrology for Managing Climate Extremes at the River Basin Level. The
segment is expected to highlight the contributions less developed countries can
make, and foster capacity building in the region, as felt appropriate in view
of the venue of the event. Impact of climate change on water resources of the
Southeastern Europe-Mediterranean area, and adaptation to expected climate
change will be addressed within this last segment of the symposium as well.
