Physics Follies Strike Again!

By News Desk

In addition, contributed talks are solicited, on topics that include (but are not limited to) 1) Climate as a complex dynamical system; 2) Mechanisms, magnitudes, and timescales of processes that affect climate, including greenhouse gases, aerosols, solar variability, feedbacks involving clouds, water vapor, sea ice, hydrological and carbon cycles, and ocean-atmosphere interactions; 3) Physics of proxies used to infer past climate forcings and properties for which instrumental records are unavailable; 4) Computational and statistical analyses of climate models and measurement systems. Specific areas underlying these topics include, but are not limited to, fluid dynamics, nonlinear and complex systems, gas, condensed and interfacial phase behavior, radiation/heat transfer, phase transitions, measurement science, computational physics, statistics, biophysics, chemical physics and geophysics.
