Exoclimes 2012: The Diversity of Planetary Atmospheres

Jan 16-20, 2012
Aspen Center for Physics (Aspen, CO)
exoclimes.org

Exoplanetary atmospheres have recently become accessible to observations. What observations are possible in the foreseeable future? And how will they constrain the climate on other worlds? Our goal is to bring together Earth, Solar System and Exoplanet researchers to discuss a variety of aspects of climate science.

Confirmed Speakers:
Fran Bagenal (U of Colorado) – planetary magnetic fields
Christiane Helling (St. Andrews) – atmospheric dust
David Catling (U of Washington) – the history of Earth’s atmosphere
Adrian Lenardic (Rice U) – geodynamics
Mark Marley (NASA Ames) – clouds
John Marshall (MIT) – ocean dynamics
Ray Pierrehumbert (U of Chicago) – climate system modeling
Tapio Schneider (Caltech) – terrestrial planet atmospheric dynamics
Adam Showman (U of Arizona) – giant planet atmospheric dynamics
Remi Soummer (STScI) – direct imaging observations
