please forward to those who may be interested, apologies for cross-postings.

I am informed by Robert Pincus that the conference has funds to support 
the local costs of some participants from Africa.

Applications for the eighth biennial Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on 
Radiation and Climate, to be held July 7-12, 2013 at Colby-Sawyer 
College in New Hampshire, USA are due by June 9.   The theme for the 
2013 GRC is "Observing the Interactions Among Radiation, Clouds, and the 
Climate System.”    The GRC will be preceded by a Gordon Research 
Seminar for students and postdoctoral researchers.  The list of GRC 
session topics is attached to this email and a full list of speakers, 
talk titles, and discussion leaders is available at 
http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=radiation.

The GRC is characterized by long (40 min) invited talks, followed by 20 
minute discussion periods to encourage intensive discussion of key 
scientific topics.  Extensive time for informal discussion is also 
available outside the lecture hall during the community meals and 
activities and during the poster session.   Moreover, GRC lectures, 
discussions, and poster sessions are “off-the-record”, allowing honest 
and open discussion of scientific ideas and challenges.

We hope to see you at the GRC this summer!
