The EGU General Assembly 2011 is being held April 3-8, Vienna (< http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2011/home.html>) and abstract submission is now open.
Please consider submitting an abstract to session CL2.13 Seasons and phenology: Evidence from observations, reconstructions, measurements and models (co-sponsored by USA-NPN, PAGES & ILEAPS) Link: <http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2011/session/6424>. The description of the session is attached below. We would appreciate if you could also bring this session to the attention of researchers and students who are likely to be interested in this topic. You may submit an abstract at < http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2011/abstract_management/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html >. While there is an abstract processing charge of EUR 40 per abstract, please note that the registration fees will be reduced to take into account the abstract fee. The deadline for submission of abstracts is fast approaching--- MONDAY 10th JANUARY 2011. Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!

We invite contributions with cross-disciplinary perspectives that present seasonality changes based on recent plant and animal phenological observations, historical documentary sources, or seasonality measurements using climate data, remote sensing, flux measurements or modelling studies. We seek contributions across all spatial and temporal scales that compare and integrate seasonality changes, emphasize applications, discuss species interactions and decoupling and that advance our understanding of seasonality response to long-term climate change and single extreme events. *************************************************** This Rutishauser University of Bern, Institute of Geography Research Groups in Climatology & Meteorology (Klimet) and Phenology & Topoclimatology (Phenotop) Hallerstrasse 12, CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland Phone: +41 (0)31 631'88'83, Fax: +41 (0)31 631'85'11 [email protected], http://www.geography.unibe.ch/ Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Unitat d?Ecofisiologia CSIC-CREAF CREAF (Center for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications) [email protected], http://www.creaf.uab.es/ http://www.giub.unibe.ch/~rutis/
