Subject	Re: 7RP / Environment (incl. Climate Change)
Dear Hugues, I agree and what Damien said echoes what Keith is concerned about. We need to expand the timescale of Millennium AND focus much more on sensitivity and predictability. best wishes Eystein Den 7. mar. 2007 kl. 11.22 skrev Hugues Goosse: Hi Eystein, Thanks a lot for the information. I agree with you that it is very important that the topic "Earth system dynamics: Palaeoenvironmental analysis" includes explicetly our area of interest. By the way, I have briefly discussed with Damien Cardinal after the meeting yesterday. He tolds me that the EU has already funded recently a very big project over the last Millenium, so they will be reluctant to make a new call covering this subject but we can certainly sell our science in something more general like 'natural variability and climate predictability'. All the best Hugues Le 15:00 06/03/2007, vous avez écrit: Hi Keith and Hugues, Here are two documents re. our discussion of FP7 topics. As you will see the plan is to have the following topic out in 2008 or later: · Earth system dynamics: Palaeoenvironmental analysis I think it will be important that the topic really comes in 2008 and that it includes the terms natural variability and climate predictability when it is described in the call. If possible our national program committee members should be contacted to propose this. As far as I know there will be a meeting later this spring to discuss the next calls.
