The First Announcement of International Symposium on Climate Change and Water

April 20-21, 2011

Nanjing, China

1. Background

Global warming caused by increasing atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and other trace gases has become evident. A broad consensus has concluded that the earth surface air temperature increased by about0.74℃ during 1905~2005, global temperature increases are likely to persist in the 21st century and will probably be accompanied by changes in precipitation. Global warming is likely to change precipitation patterns and probably raise the frequency of extreme events; it is further expected to affect many sectors of natural environment and human endeavor. Water is considered to be the most critical sector associated with climate change impacts. Climate change and its increased variability is expected to alter timing and magnitude of runoff, and consequently has significant implication for the existing water resources system as well as for future water resources planning and management. Facing appealing increasing challenges caused by evident climate change impacts on water, sharing knowledge and ideas to deal with its impacts, adaptation and vulnerability becomes an urgent need. As an utmost global environmental issue, no institution or country can face the challenges alone. Thus, Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute (NHRI), together with China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR), Hohai University (HHU), Beijing Normal University (BNU)， Hydrology bureau of Ministry of Water Resources, Institute of Atmospheric Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Committee of International Association of Hydrology Science, State Key Laboratory of Hydrology-Water Resources and Hydraulic Engineering, will organize International Symposium on Climate Change and Water on April 20-21, 2011, Nanjing, China, which will focus on climate change and water, and bring excellent international scientists, experts and stakeholders together to contribute to further understanding climate change and water issues and finding means to cope with those issues in a sustainable and adaptive way.

2. Main Topics

Main topics of the International Symposium on Climate Change and Water include:

●Environmental processes and projection of climate change scenarios;

●Assessment methodology and tools of climate change impacts;

●Modeling technology of river basin hydrology and application in poorly gauged areas;

●Sustainable utilization and integrated management of water resources;

●Extreme climate events, flood and draught disasters;

●Key technology for flood control and draught mitigation;

●Security of water control projects under global warming;

●Climate change and eco-water environment;

●Strategy, policy and countermeasures of climate change adaptation; and

●Low-carbon based technology for water resources development, etc.

3. Call for Abstracts

The Local Organizing Committee warmly invites you to submit abstracts and papers, and deliver oral presentations or posters for the International Symposium on Climate Change and Water. Individuals wishing to participate are invited to prepare an abstract not exceeding 500 words (in English), including title, name of author, institution, country, mail address and email address. Papers are encouraged in all but not limited to the above mentioned subject areas.

The deadline for abstract submission is September 30, 2010. Please submit your Word abstract electronically to Dr. Guoqing Wang ([email protected], [email protected]), Dr. Cuishan Liu ([email protected] ), and Dr. Ruimin He ([email protected], [email protected]). All abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee.

气候变化与水问题国际学术会议第一轮通知

2011年4月20~21日

中国·南京

1 会议背景

由大气中二氧化碳和其他微量温室气体浓度增加引发的全球变暖已是不争的事实。IPCC第4次评价报告指出，在1905~2005年期间，全球平均地表温度约上升0.74℃，21世纪全球气温很可能继续上升，降水分布也可能发生改变。全球变暖以及由此引起的极端事件频率和强度增加将影响到自然和人类的方方面面，其中，水是受气候变化影响最直接和最重要的领域。气候变化及其自然变异将在时空分布方面较大程度地改变水文过程，进而对水资源利用及规划管理产生严重挑战。作为最严重的全球性环境问题之一，没有哪一个机构或国家可以独立面对由于气候变化可能带来的严重影响，加强科学研究、开展广泛的交流与合作、共同应对气候变化非常必要。为此，南京水利科学研究院、中国水利水电科学研究院、河海大学、北京师范大学、水利部水利信息中心、中国科学院大气物理研究所、国际水文科学协会中国国家委员会、水文水资源水工程科学国家重点实验室共同举办以“气候变化与水安全”为主题的气候变化与水问题国际学术会议，希望齐聚国内外优秀的科学家、专家及利益相关方，通过沟通与交流，探求应对气候变化的有效途径，以保障水资源的可持续利用。
