1 International Geosphere- Biosphere Programme IGBP
2 Some Key Recommendations of the IGBP Review The published version of the ICSU-IGFA review of IGBP is available and can be downloaded at ICSU website ) Develop a strategic vision and prioritize activities Maximize scientific, policy and practice impacts of IGBP-related science Reinstate Fast-track Initiatives Reconsider the size and composition of the SC for strategic decision-making
3 Some Key Recommendations of the IGBP Review Ocean acidification: a Summary for Policymakers The sponsors of the second symposium on the Ocean in a High-CO2 World have published a summary for policymakers including key recommendations. Sponsors: Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Marine Environment Laboratories of the International Atomic Energy Agency Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research The summary is available from
4 Fast Tracks Iniciatives Three new Fast Track Initiatives have been launched for the period : Upper Ocean Nutrient Limitation: processes, patterns and potential for change. The coordinators are Mark Moore (UK), Matt Mills (US), Doug Wallace (Chair of SOLAS), and the SOLAS International Project Office Regionalisation of the Nitrogen Visualisation Tool. The coordinators are Albert Bleeker (Netherlands) and Jim Galloway (US) Megacities and the Coastal Zone: air-sea interactions. The coordinators are: Roland von Glasow (SOLAS SSC) and Tim Jickells (UK), Tong Zhu (co-chair of IGAC SSC) and Yutaka Kondo (IGAC SSC), and Jozeph Pacyna, (former Chair of LOICZ)
5 New People on board New Vice-Chair of IGBP Opha Pauline Dube Pauline is a lecturer in the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Botswana. Pauline s interest in dry environments; lead author for the IPCC Third assessment Report chapter on Africa
6 New People on board New Director of Communications at the IGBP Secretariat Background in journalism and science writing. Working at NERC he was the editor of the magazine Planet Earth and he recently launched the news site, Planet Earth online Owen Gaffney New Officer at the Regional Office, Brazil Lauren Belger Doctor Degree in Ecology and fresh water biology.

7 IGBP Integration & Synthesis 2012 IGBP Open Science Conference
8 IGBP s Scientific Committee meeting, March 2009 IGBP Synthesis The IGBP science steering committee has proposed ten major synthesis themes in preparation for the IGBP open science conference in Limits to growth 2. Implications of human responses to global warming 3. Nutrient cycling in the land/atmosphere/ocean system 4. The global nitrogen assessment 5. Earth system resilience 6. The cryosphere 7. Megacities and the coastal zone 8. The needs of least developed countries 9. The role of land cover and land use in modulating climate 10. Aerosols

10 Facilitating regional collaboration and research Link global programs & regional scientists Proposal of a Latin American Global Change Committee (with the IGBP NCs) Financial support to young Latin American scientists (Summer schools, and training activities) Meeting on Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability (IAV); 4-6 November 2009
11 Meeting on Impact, Adaptation and Vulnerability (IAV) on Global Change 4-6 November 2009 Brazilian Institute for Space Research (INPE) São José dos Campos, Brazil. More details:
12 Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability (IAV) meeting Goals and Objectives With the larger goal of improving resilience, especially in low and middle income countries the workshop is designed to : (1) lay the groundwork for identification of structures, processes and practices that best facilitate adaptation, (2) help the Global Environmental Change (GEC) Programmes form an Earth system science agenda that reflects the key roles played by developing countries in identifying and evaluating the multiple factors of impacts, adaptation and vulnerability associated with climate change and other global environmental changes (3) ensure the central participation of developing country IAV communities in the IPCC AR5 process from early on and thus enhance attention within the IPCC and the GEC Programmes to the specificities of developing country vulnerabilities and development needs; (4) present to the scientific communities of developing countries the methodologies and activities of IPCC to facilitate their contributions to AR5; (5) engage key scientific communities of developing countries which have not been active in climate change research, such as social and natural scientists and engineers involved with vulnerability studies. More details:
13 Regional Office Science HAND - Height Above the Nearest Drainage a new terrain descriptor using SRTM-DEM AMAZONICA and Carbon Tracker and Water availability: controls of Land Use and Climate Changes The proposal seeks to estimate and interpret greenhouse gases (GHG) and surface hydrological exchanges at large- and regional scale in Brazil, both due to climate variation and land use changes (LUC), using consistent field measurements and modeling of the land-atmosphere system. Hydropower reservoirs GHG emissions; Carbon balance; Carbon Biomass (Amazon) Develop a monitoring system for estimating the carbon storage dynamics in the Amazon Forest (primary and secondary) by integrating forest inventories and remote sensing New Center for Bioethanol Technology multidisciplinary and technological development for the sugar cane ethanol

17 2008 IGBP Annual Report now available. The 2008 IGBP annual repor is now available. The report highlights IGBP's role in supplying information to the United Nations, new emissions scenarios for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the rate of retreat of South American glaciers. Online resources from recent IGBP Symposium "Planet under pressure: global changes, regional challenges". Septembre 2009, Presentations are available here:
18 The AIMES OSC Edinburgh, May 2010 Earth System Science: Climate, Global Change and People The AIMES Open Science Conference will present recent advances in the understanding of Earth system dynamics and highlight new directions in analyzing the interactions between humans and their environment. It is intended to help in the building of needed bridges: between the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities, and between policy, assessment and research.
