The National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research, an autonomous research centre under the Ministry of Earth Sciences (Government of India) warmly welcomes the young palaeo researchers to Goa. India is endowed with unique geomorphologic systems like the Himalayas, desert, large and small rivers, lakes of all dimensions in various climatic domains (ranging from humid to hyper arid) and surrounded by the distinctive Indian Ocean. These settings along with substantive historical and pre-historic records make India an ideal laboratory to test hypotheses relating to human-climate-environment interaction and better inform the future planning strategies. The changing climate and its visible strain on ecological and environ- mental systems in this part of the world necessitate an integrated approach in understanding the past, pres- ent and future of the monsoon systems and their global interactions. We sincerely hope that the 2nd Young Scientist Meeting and the 4th PAGES Open Science Meeting, happen- ing for the first time in Indian subcontinent, would provide ample opportunities for scientist networking and developing new research collaborations. I wish to place on record the generous funding we have received from the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, which helped us to support large number of young scientists, internationally. I am confident that Goa with its magnificent beaches, rich cultural heritage, delectable cuisine and wonder- ful people will provide an ideal locale for a relaxed yet scientifically intense workshop. I look forward to an excellent meeting that would enhance the scientific knowhow on global change and would lead to tangible scientific outputs. I wish you a fruitful meeting and a pleasant stay in Goa! S. Rajan Chairman, Local Organizing Committee 4 PAGES 2nd Young Scientists Meeting 2013 Information Welcome on behalf of PAGES Welcome to PAGES 2nd Young Scientists Meeting! PAGES serves the Global Change community by supporting science aimed at understanding the Earth’s past climate and environment, with the ultimate goal of assisting future projections. Having become a mature sci- entific organization, PAGES had grown to recognize the need to nurture our young scientists to ensure that research on past, present, and future global change continues to thrive and evolve. The YSM is intended to provide you with a platform for interdisciplinary scientific exchange and discussion of your research. It should also provide you with tips and ideas, which we hope will be helpful in the future. You have the chance to provide feedback on the infrastructure of the scientific world, such as organizations like PAGES, publishers, data centers, etc., and hence to actively shape a part of your scientific environment. Finally, we hope that you will make new or strengthen existing contacts with fellow scientists across geo- graphical and scientific borders, and establish ties that last a whole career. The 1st YSM four years ago in Corvallis, USA was a definitive success, based on the positive feedback, rich output, continued engagement of participants, and emulation of the concept by sister organizations. Accord- ingly, this year’s program is again based on the successful concept outlined above. However, some aspects have evolved since the 1st YSM. A major innovation is that (still) young attendees of the 1st YSM are now forming an essential part of the program committee (page 7) and thus shaped actively the program of this 2nd YSM. This has extended the involvement of early-career scientists now to all stages of the meeting. Involvement and engagement is what we hope to get also from you - not only now, but also in the mid term and throughout your hopefully thriving careers. We hope that the YSM will inspire you to engage in interna- tional collaboration, community service and international science coordination, be it through PAGES or other Global Change organizations. Several of the organizations most relevant to you, such as APN, START, IGBP, IAS and others are co-spon- soring this meeting (page 6). We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank them for their gener- ous support, which allows us to assemble this truly international group of early-career scientists here in Goa. Most of all we thank our hosts from the National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research for setting us up for meeting here at this wonderful place. We wish everyone a productive and inspiring meeting!

Note: The final draft Report, dated 7 June 2013, of the Working Group I contribution to the IPCC 5th Assessment Report "Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis" was accepted but not approved in detail by the 12th Session of Working Group I and the 36th Session of the IPCC on 26 September 2013 in Stockholm, Sweden. It consists of the full scientific and technical assessment undertaken by Working Group I. The Report has to be read in conjunction with the document entitled “Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis. Working Group I Contribution to the IPCC 5th Assessment Report - Changes to the underlying Scientific/Technical Assessment” to ensure consistency with the approved Summary for Policymakers (IPCC-XXVI/Doc.4) and presented to the Panel at its 36th Session. This document lists the changes necessary to ensure consistency between the full Report and the Summary for Policymakers, which was approved line-by-line by Working Group I and accepted by the Panel at the above- mentioned Sessions. Before publication the Report will undergo final copyediting as well as any error correction as necessary, consistent with the IPCC Protocol for Addressing Possible Errors. Publication of the Report is foreseen in January 2014.

From www.legacy.com: John A. Knauss, the noted oceanographer whose research and advocacy helped raised alarms about the delicate state of the world’s oceans, died Nov. 19, according to The Associated Press. He was 90. After obtaining his bachelor's degree in meteorology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1946, where he studied as part of the United States Navy’s V-12 program, Knauss earned a master's degree in physics from the University of Michigan and a doctorate in oceanography from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. His work quickly become pivotal to the nascent national debate on the environment and water quality, and his pioneering work as a member of the influential Stratton Commission on the report "Our Nation and the Sea: A Plan for National Action" led to the creation of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the formation of the Coastal Zone Management Act.

  • Hydrogeology of the Oceanic Lithosphere Edited by Earl E
    Cambridge University Press 0521819296 - Hydrogeology of the Oceanic Lithosphere Edited by Earl E. Davis and Harry Elderfield Frontmatter More information HYDROGEOLOGY OF THE OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE A comprehensive and up-to-date review of the subject of the nature, causes, and conse- quences of fluid flow in oceanic crust, this edited volume sets in context much recent research for the first time. The book begins with a concise review of the relatively brief history of its subject which began shortly after the dawning of plate-tectonic theory little more than 30 years ago. It then describes the nature and important consequences of fluid flow in the sub-seafloor, ending with a summary of how the oceans are affected by the surprisingly rapid exchange of water between the crust and the water column overhead. The accompanying CD-ROM includes a full and easily navigated set of diagrams and captions, references, and photos of research vessels, submersibles, and tools used in marine hydrologic studies. A valuable resource for graduate students and researchers of Earth Sciences and Oceanography. Earl E. Davis is a senior research scientist at the Pacific Geoscience Centre, Geological Survey of Canada.

Background The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is now higher than experienced on Earth for at least the last 400,000 years, and presumably the last several million years. Moreover, the current rate of CO2 rise of 1.1 ppm/year exceeds even the relatively rapid increases at transitions from glacial to interglacial periods by about two orders of magnitude. As a direct effect of rising CO2, global temperatures are predicted to increase by several degrees during this century. Another, less highlighted consequence will be increased surface ocean pCO2 and a lowering of the pH of the surface ocean. For example, as atmospheric CO2-levels will double over their pre-industrial values by the middle of this century, the accompanying surface ocean pH changes are expected to be three times greater than those experienced during glacial to interglacial transitions. Many questions on the effect of increasing atmospheric CO2 on ocean chemistry and marine life are unanswered or cannot be answered quantitatively.
