Thank you!
HOTEL INFORMATION
We have two hotels with rooms reserved for the PCMIP meeting. Both are a short subway ride, or moderate walk to NASA/GISS, which is at 112th and Broadway:
Hotel Newton (approximately 1 mile to GISS):
We have 20 rooms reserved at the Hotel Newton under the group name of "Columbia PMIP2". The address is 2528 Broadway (between 94th and 95th streets). You will each need to contact the hotel directly (212-678-6500) and make your reservation. The rate is $175+tax. Any unreserved rooms will cancel on 1 May 2008. Reservations are accepted on a first come, first served basis.
Hotel Milburn (approximately 2 miles to GISS):
If you are unable to get the group rate at the Hotel Newton, we have more rooms available at the Hotel Milburn, which is located at 242 W76th Street, between Broadway and West End Avenue. At this hotel we are using a rooming list, so you will need to contact me with your arrival/departure information. The Milburn rate is $195+tax for a double room and 4-person suites are $250+tax. Again I need to advise the hotel by 1 May 2008.
For more information, please contact:

We recognize that instructors who want to master the EdGCM software and want to learn more about climate modeling science could benefit from closer interaction with the EdGCM development team. For this reason we offer professional development opportunities and are available to meet with you, your colleagues, and even your students, to provide information and instruction at a range of levels... |

 Geologic evidence suggests that during the Sturtian period (~750Ma) of the Neoproterozoic Era the Earth was blanketed by snow and ice. Glacial deposits are found on all continents, including regions that were at low latitudes. Hoffman et al. (1998) brought the snowball Earth hypothesis to the forefront of paleoclimatic scientific interest by offering a specific explanation for the presence of glacial rock formations in mid to low latitude regions, the occurrence of cap carbonates, and the apparent collapse in surface ocean microorganisms. Our experiments using EdGCM examine the possibility that altered obliquity is an alternative possibility for the formation of low latitude glacial deposits.

 The early anthropogenic hypothesis by William Ruddiman posits that human influence on
climate may have actually begun thousands, not hundreds, of years ago. Increased greenhouse gas
levels were not solely caused by greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning after the start
of the Industrial Revolution, but also caused by our ancestors’ first agricultural developments. The
resultant rise in temperature then delayed the glacial onset that should have occurred naturally.
Through climate simulations with the EdGCM model, we compared pre- and post-industrial levels
to estimated natural levels for five greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and
two chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Our results put our model at, or very close to, an incipient glacial state, supporting the hypothesis of an overdue glaciation. |
