スイスでワークショップ(Workshop in Switzerland)

横山先生が、スイスのベルン大学で8/25-29に開催されたワークショップに、参加してきました(第四紀学会の直後!)。ワークショップはPAGES (Past Global Changes) とIMAGES (International Marine Global Changes Study)の共催で、タイトルは"Empirical constraints on sea-level rise over the next century"。 「招待された参加者のみの40名弱のこじんまりした会議でしたが、海水準、モデル、氷床、古海洋などの専門家が集まっての有意義な会議でした」(横山先生)とのことです。写真×3は、8/27午後に出かけたKanderstegにて。

Dr. Yokoyama attended a workshop held at University of Bern, Switzerland, during 25th-29th August (just after JAQUA!). The workshop "Empirical constraints on sea-level rise over the next century" was held by PAGES (Past Global Changes) and IMAGES (International Marine Global Changes Study). Dr. Yokoyama says "It was a good meeting with various specialists in sea-level, model, glacier and paleocean, although only invited persons attended it and the number was less than 40". Three photos are taken at Kandersteg, where they went in the afternoon of 27th August.
