DTSTART:20260831T070000Z DTEND:20260916T150000Z DTSTAMP:20260712T113200Z UID:indico-event-12837@indico.ijclab.in2p3.fr CONTACT:vesna.cupic@universite-paris-saclay.fr DESCRIPTION:\nDescription of the program\nIPCC AR6 scenarios project atmos pheric CO₂ concentrations of 400–1200 ppm by 2100. Understanding clima tes under such high pCO₂ levels requires looking beyond the Quaternary\, since the past million years were dominated by glacial–interglacial cyc les with CO₂ varying only between 180 and 280 ppm. Warmer periods earlie r in the Cenozoic therefore offer essential analogues for studying climate dynamics\, model–data mismatches\, and interactions within the climate system under elevated CO₂.\nPart I: Learning from Past Warm Climates\nDu ring the first two weeks\, lectures and discussions will introduce Cenozoi c warm periods—specifically the mid‑Pliocene\, mid‑Miocene\, and ear ly Eocene—drawing on both climate model simulations and empirical recons tructions. We will review the strengths and limitations of these datasets\ , including uncertainties in reconstructions and age models.\nWe will comb ine short invited presentations with group project work on key topics such as:\n\nReconstruction of greenhouse gases\nEquator‑to‑pole temperatur e gradients: model–data comparison\nOcean circulation and the role of ga teways\nCryosphere dynamics in the Pliocene and Miocene\nExotic greehouse climates\, including the PETM and the future\n\nStudents will work in 6– 8 groups with mentors to analyse these topics and prepare presentations.\n Part II: Workshop on Science communication\nAfter the initial two weeks\, the workshop will expand to include additional experts and science communi cators. Over three final days\, we will examine possible long‑term clima te trajectories following major anthropogenic CO₂ emissions. There  wil l be keynote lectures in the morning then break-out sessions in the aftern oon to discuss topics related to the morning lectures. The programme will be as follows:\n\nDay 1: What challenges journalists face when informing a bout climate change?\nDay 2: Impact of climate change on different fields\ nDay 3: Information vs fake news on climate change\n\n \nApplication proc ess\nThe application deadline is April 15th\, 2026. Applications are to be submitted online.\nPractical info on the school can be found here: Insti tute Pascal www\nFor questions regarding applications or the program conta ct acdc@uib.no. If you have any practical questions\, please contact vesna .cupic@universite-paris-saclay.fr\nEach admitted course participant will b e expected to contribute with a nominal registration fee of 5000NOK. Those who cannot cover this cost can apply for financial support thru the appli cation portal. Accomodation at the venue\, as well as the cost for excursi ons and social events is covered by the organisers. All participants are r equired to attend the full course.\nTarget\nAdvanced graduate students (Ph Ds). Other applications will be considered on a case by case basis if ther e is space (admission is competitive). Note that there will additional spa ces allocated for media students during the final 3 days of the school thi s year.\nGoal\nTo mix students and lecturers with empirical and dynamical training within climate science and focus on understanding the basic princ iples and dynamics relating to warm greenhouse climates.\nConfirmed lectur ers\nRay Pierre-Humbert (University of Oxford)\nGilles Ramstein (LSCE\, CE A Paris-Saclay)\nDavid Battisti (University of Washington)\nJean-Louis Du fresne (LMD\, Sorbonne University)\nJames Rae (University of St. Andrews)\ nBjørg Risebrobakken (NORCE Climate)\nJulia Tindall (University of Leeds) \nKerim Hestnes Nisancioglu (University of Bergen)\nMargret Steinthorsdott ir (Swedish Museum of Natural History)\nNing Tan (Institute of Geology and Geophysics\, CAS)\nRodrigo Caballero (Stockholm University)\nJean-Baptist e Ladant (LSCE\, CEA\, Gif-sur-Yvette\nLocal organizing committee :Gilles Ramstein\,Kerim Nisancioglu\,David S.
