The 19^th WMO/IAEA Meeting on Carbon Dioxide, Other Greenhouse Gases, and Related Measurement Techniques (GGMT-2017) will be held on 27 – 31 August 2017 at Empa in Dübendorf, Switzerland. The meeting will be held back-to-back with the 10^th International Carbon Dioxide Conference (ICDC10), Interlaken, Switzerland.

Registration and abstract submission opens in April 2017.

Background

GGMT-2017 is the 19^th meeting in a series, which was initiated by Dr. Dave Keeling at La Jolla, California in 1975. Today, GGMT is the cornerstone meeting for the observation of key greenhouse gases (GHG) and tracers, their isotopes, assessment of new techniques, standardization, quality assurance, and data products. The scope covers challenges in the field of precise measurements of atmospheric greenhouse gases, data utilization and integrated products and observational network design. It provides an excellent platform for all scientists in this field  to exchange the latest scientific findings and serves as the scientific backbone of the Global Atmosphere Watch Programme (GAW) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which has provided the umbrella to all GGMT meetings. Since 1997 the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna joined WMO due to the increased use of carbon isotopes in studying the carbon cycle.

The GGMT-2017 conference will cover the following topics:

• Developments of the GHG networks and site updates
• CO₂ observations (measurements techniques and calibration)
• Non-CO₂ observations (measurements techniques and calibration)
• Isotope measurement and calibration
• Emerging techniques
• GHG standards and comparison activities
• Integration of observations, data products and policy

Important Dates

• April 2017       Registration and abstract submission opens
• 2 June 2017    Deadline for abstract submissions
• 30 June 2017  Deadline for registration
