SUMMARY:The Antarctic Ozone Hole: Then and Now - Speaker to be confirmed
DTSTART:20100507T093000Z
DTEND:20100507T170000Z
UID:TALK23853@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Francis Pope
DESCRIPTION:The discovery of the Antarctic Ozone Hole led to intensive res
 earch to find out why such large ozone\nlosses were occurring in a region 
 which was previously thought to be chemically inactive. This\nresearch inv
 olved both atmospheric chemistry and meteorology and so it is entirely fit
 ting that the\nroyal societies of the two disciplines are supporting this 
 workshop. The finding also led to the\nMontreal Protocol which limited ozo
 ne-depleting gases and so to close involvement of atmospheric\nscientists 
 with the chemical industry and the political process. Thus\, while the foc
 us is on the\natmospheric science\, talks will cover the industrial and po
 litical developments. The presentations will\nbe given by leading internat
 ional speakers and will cover the scientific and political importance of t
 he\ndiscovery of the Antarctic Ozone Hole\, as well as the latest developm
 ents.\n\nSpeakers include\nPaul Crutzen\, Nobel Prize winner\nDavid Fahey\
 , NOAA\nMichael McIntyre\, University of Cambridge\nJean-Pierre Pommereau\
 , CNRS\nJohn Pyle\, UNEP/WMO co-chair & University of Cambridge\nJonathan 
 Shanklin\, BAS\nKeith Shine\, University of Reading\nSusan Solomon\, NOAA\
 , former chair IPCC WG1\n
