GC42: Climate Change and the Sun 1. Quantifying the Solar-Terrestrial
System Contribution to Global Change
(An AGU Session Pertinent to GEM)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Howard Singer <Howard.Singer at noaa.gov>

We would like to encourage participation in a Special Session in AGU's 
Global Environmental Change section co-sponsored by Atmospheric 
Sciences (A), Hydrology (H), and SPA-Solar and Heliospheric Physics 
(SH).

GC42 Climate Change and the Sun 1. Quantifying the Solar-Terrestrial
System Contribution to Global Change

Abstract: The contribution of solar-terrestrial (ST) system 
variability to Earth's Global Change has generated much discussion in 
large part because it is difficult to assess and it crosses research 
disciplines. Investigations to quantify the magnitude and time scales 
of the ST variability influence on the Earth System will help 
elucidate mechanisms linked with Global Change and further 
understanding of the nature of our home in space. This multi-
disciplinary session solicits papers addressing the magnitude and 
time-scale contributions of the ST system to Global Change in the 
context of its other known sources. Observation, model, and theory 
results that compare and quantify ST influences on specific time 
scales are encouraged.
