The International Workshop C⁴ “Climate Change and Carbon Cycle” (CNR Research Area, Pisa, Italy, 22-24/06/2022) envisions knowledge exchange and cross-pollination within the scientific communities interested in Global Changes, Climate System and Carbon Cycle through time.

C⁴ welcomes contributions from proxy records of the deep geological past to modern observations and modelling that (i) explore linear and nonlinear processes resulting from interactions between climate system and carbon cycle at multiple time scales, (ii) provide insights into the past and present expression of combined climate and carbon changes in environments and ecosystems, and (iii) highlight the current knowledge gaps and how they can be filled through the combined efforts of the Climate, Paleoclimate and Carbon Cycle communities.

The C4 Workshop is promoted and organized by the Working Groups “Paleoclimate Dynamics” and “Carbon Cycle” of the Department of Earth System Sciences and Environmental Technologies of the National Research Council of Italy (DSSTTA-CNR).

The workshop will be structured around three highly interdisciplinary scientific sessions. Each session integrates different scientific perspectives and encompasses a wide temporal range, from the million-year scale of geological processes, through the thousand-year scale of the orbitally-driven and sub-orbital climate changes of the Quaternary, to the yearly (and subyearly) scale of modern monitoring and observations.

Scientific knowledge exchange will also be fostered through

3 interactive cross-disciplinary laboratories:

• "Observation and Prediction: two sides of the same coin"

• "Discovering the Deep"

• "Walking through the Earth System“

The workshop will be limited to 150 people for logistic reasons, so we encourage registering early.

REGISTRATION AND ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: from December 13th 2021 to February 28th 2022.
