>BACKGROUND
>
>Environmental isotopes have demonstrated potential in water and climate
>research, but the techniques are not widely known or widely applied in many
>of the cooperative, global climate research programmes that have emerged in
>the 1990s. Stable isotopes of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon, in particular,
>have been valuable tools for the study of past climate, for investigating
>present day water cycling and related biogeochemical processes, and have
>been incorporated into atmospheric and oceanic general circulation models
>which can be powerful predictive tools. Isotopes have also demonstrated the
>capability to aid in partition fluxes within water and biogeochemical
>cycles, and have the potential to make a significant contribution to the
>science of climate change, climate variability, and impacts. While isotope
>techniques are not a singular solution to the climate research question,
>they may provide a sharper focus or a different perspective on some of
>Earth's natural processes which can be better exploited in the context of
>multidisciplinary studies.
>
>RATIONALE
>
>To increase the visibility of isotope-based research efforts and to
>encourage multi-disciplinary linkages, the International Atomic Energy
>Agency (IAEA) is forming a working group on 'Isotopes in Integrated Climate
>System Studies' (ICSYS) which will bring together leading experts in the
>field and will provide a forum for discussion and interaction. The working
>group will include representatives from the fields of atmospheric and ocean
>dynamics, terrestrial energy/moisture budgets, ecosystem processes, global
>moisture budgets, soil processes, CO2 and climate change.
>
>OBJECTIVES
>
>Members of the working group will initially be called upon to present and
>collectively discuss their current research on isotopes in climate system
>studies. To begin, the group will be asked to focus on the following tasks:
>
>疸o review applications of isotopes in local, regional and global water and
>climate studies to identify and prioritize research opportunities
>疸o discuss application of isotopes in climate models including
>possibilities for linking carbon and water cycle research
>疸o discuss past archives and present-day model validation opportunities
>疸o discuss the role of isotope hydroscience in global, cooperative research
>programmes, and to formulate a comprehensive action plan
>
>We hope that you will agree that this is an important and timely inititative
>on the part of IAEA.
>
>This is an informal letter to solicit your participation in the ICSYS
>working group. Although the working group is intended to be an ongoing
>project, the initial commitment would be to attend a 2 to 3 day meeting at
>IAEA headquarters in Vienna, Austria (19-20 Nov 2001), to prepare a
>presentation with short abstract of your work, to participate in working
>groups, and to contribute a brief post-meeting summary suitable for
>publication within an agency technical document. Given adequate interest, we
>are also willing to coordinate publication of full papers in a special
>journal issue. Note that IAEA will normally cover travel and accommodation
>for participants.
>
>We look forward to hearing from you and hope that you are able to
>participate in this initiative. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
