Proceedings of The Sixth Workshop on Baltic Sea Ice Climate August 25–28, 2008 Lammi Biological Station, Finland HELSINKI 2009 2 Preface The importance of sea ice in the Baltic Sea has been addressed in the Baltic Sea Ice Workshops. The ice has been identified as a key element in the water and energy cycles and ecological state of the Baltic Sea. The variability in sea ice conditions is high and due to the short thermal memory of the Baltic Sea closely connected to the actual weather conditions. The spatial and temporal long-term variability of the ice cover has been discussed in the Baltic Sea Ice Workshops. One motivation of the workshop series, which started in 1993, was that sea ice is not properly treated in Baltic Sea research in general although the ice season has a major role in the annual cycle of the Baltic Sea. This still holds true, which is a severe bias since in environmental problems, such as oil spill accidents in winter and long term transport of pollutants, the ice conditions play a critically important role. Also in regional climate changes the Baltic Sea ice cover is a sensitive key factor. In the Baltic Sea Ice Climate Workshops these topics have been extensively discussed, in addition to basic Baltic Sea ice science questions.

  • Llyn Archaeology and History Society Model
    Llyn Archaeology and History Society model The official launch of this new society will take place on 17th July, during the CBA' Festival of British Archaeology 2013 and include Richard Suggett from RCAHMW who will discuss the Dating Old Welsh Houses project and Tegid Rhys Williams (former CBA placement at Gwynedd Archaeological Trust) on The Value & Importance of the Welsh Language when Undertaking Community Archaeology Projects in North-West Wales, which was presented at TAG 2011 and Iwan Parry from Gwynedd Archaeological Trust discussing community excavations at the Iron Age promontary fort of Porthdinllaen. The society has been established by myself, a third year BA Archaeology undergraduate at Durham University, I am also a committee member and trustee of Llyn Maritime Museum, Nefyn (since I was 17), which thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund grant will be reopened after 10 years in March 2014. I am also 2013 Vice Chairman of MOROL - Institute of Welsh Maritime Historical Studies. Other founders include Tegid Rhys Williams (History graduate, former CBA placement and now librarian), Rhys Mwyn (Graduate archaeologist, former 80s punk band member from famous Welsh group Anrhefn and now community archaeologist) and John Dilwyn from Gwynedd Archives. We hope it will be a dynamic and innovative society with a focus on community archaeology and history and bottom up heritage management which will work closely with existing heritage bodies - GAT, RCAHMW and Bangor University. More importantly and surprisingly rare for Wales, it will create a society which aims to promote the study of archaeology and history through the medium of Welsh, which we hope will lead to greater participation from those who wouldn't usually participate.

Reliable and self-consistent data on air quality is needed for an extensive period of time for conducting long-term, or even lifetime health impact assessments. We have modelled the urban scale concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area for a period of 35 years, from 1980 to 2014. These high resolution computations included both the emissions originated from vehicular traffic (separately exhaust and suspension emissions) and those from small- 10 scale combustion, and were conducted using the road network dispersion model CAR-FMI and the multiple source Gaussian dispersion model UDM-FMI. The regional background concentrations were evaluated based on reanalyses of the atmospheric composition on global and European scales, using the SILAM model.
