Dear Colleagues,
Please consider submitting a paper to the following session on volcanic
eruptions and climate at Our Common Future meeting in Paris, July 7-10,
2015. The deadline for submission of contributed talks is March 2. To
submit an abstract, go to:

*Climate variability and external forcings of the Common Era with
special focus on the role of volcanic eruptions***
*Conveners: Alan Robock, Rutgers University, USA; Marie-Alexandrine
Sicre, IPSL, France; Anja Schmidt, University of Leeds, United Kingdom;
Marit-Solveig Seidenkrantz, Aarhus University, Denmark; Lucien von
Gunten, PAGES IPO, Bern, Switzerland*
An unprecedented joint paleo-data and -modeling community effort has
recently been undertaken by the IGBP-PAGES 2k network to compile and
interpret high-resolution paleo climate records over the last 2000 years
(the Common Era). From this analysis of climate variability and
sensitivity to external forcings, volcanic eruptions have emerged as
major drivers of climate.
In this session, we welcome contributions focusing on climate
variability during the Common Era, using observations, proxy- or
modeling-based approaches, or a combination of both. We also encourage
discussions on new developments for data selection and climate
reconstruction techniques, and new standards for data sharing and archival.
The year 2015 marks the bicentennial anniversary of the eruption of Mt.
Tambora, which was the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history and
which caused the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816. Therefore, we would
like to put a special emphasis on research addressing the role of
volcanic forcing in modulating climate variability. Studiesaiming at
incorporating the effects of volcanic eruptions and other external
forcing mechanisms in climate prediction models are also welcomed.
We also encourage the submission of contributions addressing the effects
of volcanic events and their climate impact on society, including
impacts on agriculture, famine, and social disruption, and how similar
eruptions could impact current society.
