Igniting Novel Research
Climate fundamentally affects the abundance and distribution of species. Ecological processes in turn, feedback to affect the climate. There is clear value in bringing these two disciplines together.
Climate scientists, for example, have established practices that have greatly increased the accuracy of climate projections. Drawing on data and theory developed in climate sciences could improve the application of ecological forecasts. Similarly, ecological processes that mediate biosphere-atmosphere interactions represent the biggest source of uncertainty in climate projections. Ecologists can aid climate scientists in understanding these processes and their incorporation into climate models.
The Conference
This symposium, jointly organised by the British Ecological Society and the Royal Meteorological Society, will identify the needs and opportunities for greater interaction between these two fields.
Keynote addresses, talks and posters will cover progress in ecological forecasting to date and explore ways in which climate science could ignite novel research.
The international and interdisciplinary conference will be highly interactive with plenty of opportunity for networking, discussion and idea generation. Talks and poster presentations will be combined with guided break-out sessions and discussion panels.

Details
The symposium will now take place from 11 – 12 May 2022, at Coin Street Conference Centre, London, UK.
At this stage we are planning for an in-person meeting but we will continue to follow government guidance on the COVID-19 pandemic. Any decision to postpone the event or move online will be shared as soon as possible, with flexibility on cancellation if you are no longer able to attend due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Abstract Submission
In addition to invited keynote speakers, we will be welcoming submissions for short talks and poster presentations through an open call. For more information and to submit a abstract for this event, please visit British Ecological Society
