8th Swiss Geoscience Meeting, Fribourg 2010

Hot and Cold: Extreme Climates in Space and Time

On Friday 19th, keynote presentations will focus on this year's theme "Hot and Cold: Extreme Climates in Space and Time". The first two invited speakers, James Zachos, UC Santa Cruz and Paul Hoffman, Harvard University, are distinguished experts on extreme climates in the past. The third speaker Hubertus Fischer, University of Berne, will present actual climatic changes in polar regions. Practical aspects of extreme climates encountered by professional geoscientists will be addressed by a fourth speaker.

On Saturday 20th, a series of scientific symposia will focus on diverse domains of geoscience research encompassing the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, the cryosphere, the biosphere and the atmosphere without neglecting to also address the anthroposphere and the noosphere.

The SGM wants to offer the ideal environment to also foster informal contacts and discussion between scientists: Such opportunities will occur at the Swiss Geoscience Party on Friday evening, or during the poster session on Saturday in the main hall of the congress centre. Special time slots will be allocated to two poster sessions, at which the authors will be present.
