The PERN Cyberseminar on “Preparing for Population Displacement and Resettlement Associated with Climate Change and Large Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Projects” will end on 14 November. A summary of discussions can be found at: http://www.populationenvironmentresearch.org/seminars.jsp.
The United Kingdom’s Foresight Project on Environmental Migration released a benchmark report on October 21st. The report, “Migration and Global Environmental Change: Future Challenges and Opportunities,” delivers a new understanding of migration in the face of global environmental change. International in scope, it examines potential migration patterns and the possible challenges and opportunities this will present in the future. For more information, see http://www.bis.gov.uk/foresight/migration.
A new analysis published on October 28th in the journal Science argues for the need to learn from past experiences in resettlement and assisted relocation to be better prepared for the displacement that is likely to occur owing to climate change and associated mitigation and adaptation projects. PERN co-coordinator and CIESIN senior research associate Alex de Sherbinin is lead author of the policy piece, “Preparing for Resettlement Associated with Climate Change,” along with PERN co-coordinator Susana Adamo and PERN members Marcia Castro, Francois Gemenne, and Anthony Oliver-Smith. Systematic study of past resettlement efforts is critical, the authors say, given the complex nature of resettlement, the similarities between displacement from climate change and past displacement owing to large infrastructure projects, and the likelihood that a much greater scale of displacement will occur soon.

Climate Adaptation Futures: Second International Climate Change Adaptation Conference , 29-31 May 2012, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, USA
Co-hosted and convened by the University of Arizona (www.arizona.edu) and by UNEP’s Programme of Research on Climate Change Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation (PROVIA www.provia-climatechange.org), the conference focuses on adaptation to climate variability and change. The conference will bring together researchers, policy makers, and practitioners from developed and developing countries to share insights into the challenges and opportunities that adaptation presents. It will showcase cutting-edge research from around the world, focusing on themes of equity and risk, learning, capacity building, methodology, and adaptation finance and investment. It will explore practical adaptation policies and approaches, and share strategies for decision making from the international to the local scale. Conference themes and possible ideas for presentations include: Regional studies: where are the places and people most at need? What are their adaptation options and strategies for implementation?; Update on key emerging climate change and impacts science, including the latest on future extremes, sea level change, water supplies and landscape transformation; how will uncertainties change in the coming decade?; Communicating climate risks to facilitate adaptation: what do people want and need to know and how best to understand and deliver information?; Building adaptive capacity: communities, institutions, and individuals lack sufficient capacity for implementation; what are the most effective ways to build capacity? What types of investments in capacity are appropriate and what scale of decision-making should be targeted?; Examples of adaptations through case studies and best practices, including costs and benefits of implementing these options; What can we learn from past adaptations to environmental change? How can we foster adaptations to futures characterized by surprise, non-linear change and unexpected consequences?; Ecosystem based adaptation; Funding priority research and adaptation: who pays, and for what, where, and how?; Tools for adaptation: what approaches, tools, and methods are available? How do we judge their effectiveness?; What are the relationships between mitigation and adaptation? How can the green economy facilitate adaptation?; Measuring and evaluating adaptation: how do we know whether investments in adaptive capacity and adaptation are working?; Adaptation under 4 degrees Celsius warming: as mitigation options are exhausted or delayed how might we face the challenges of adapting to 4 degrees C of warming? Deadline for abstracts: 30 January 2012. Conference registration/call for abstracts opens 5 September 2011. For more information, see http://www.adaptation.arizona.edu/adaptation2012.

Assistant Professor, Climate Change Impacts Modeling and Assessment, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, USA
The Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences (AOSS) Department at the University of Michigan (UM) is seeking tenured or tenure-track applicants at the assistant professor or higher level in the general areas of Climate Modeling and Integrated Assessment for Engineered Designs. AOSS seeks applicants who are interested in the climate prediction modules for global, regional- or finer-scale application to assess the impact of global change and energy choices on economics and policy for a region or a country like the US. For this, a candidate with experience in climate systems modeling, but with the skills and interest needed to integrate this expertise with energy systems and economics will be desired. This candidate will need to develop approaches to integrate climate information into regional- and fine-scale Integrated Assessment models, for which a crucial issue will be to address the uncertainty of factors that influence the expected outcomes and the actions taken in decision-making on climate change. Interest in, for example, abrupt climate change and extreme weather events for “policy relevant science” is included. Uncovering methods to assess the confidence of analyses will likely be important. So, too, would thorough investigations of the connections between monitoring, prediction and the likelihood of crossing critical thresholds. Focusing attention on the distributions of critical climate-related parameters, such as the climate sensitivity, could also be important.

Post-Doctoral Position, Centre Nationale de Recherche Spatial (CNRS), Paris, France
This post doc is for designing relevant indicators of climate change impacts (for agro-ecosystems and managed forests), derived from Global Dynamic Vegetation Models’ outputs. Global Dynamic Vegetation Models (hereafter referred to as DGVMs) are now frequently used to evaluate the regional or global impacts of climate changes on the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Such impacts are regionally distributed on a regular grid and are computed using similar formalisms for e.g. water and carbon cycles, basic processes of ecosystem functioning, which gives confidence on the spatial distribution of the simulated impacts. Scholze et al. (2006), for example, carried out a climate-change risk analysis for world ecosystems. Although scientifically very challenging, such estimates do not provide sufficient quantitative information for e.g. agronomists, forestry scientists on the real risks their specific area of interest will be facing in the near and far future. They are therefore not an effective basis for communicating the climate change pressures likely to be faced by land-management stakeholders (Matthews et al., 2008) and do not hold a socio-economical dimension. Application deadline 30 November 2011. For more information visit: http://sd-2.archive-host.com/membres/up/38164215153597045/PostDoctoralPosition_CNRS_ORACLEProject_2012-2014.pdf.
