understanding of regional climate variability with special focus on
coupled effects between sea, atmosphere, land and anthroposphere. In
this workshop, we will focus on European seas and their catchment areas
like the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, North Sea, Baltic Sea and Arctic
Ocean - highly sensitive areas where global models fail to give reliable
information about changing climate because key processes are not
properly resolved.<br />
<br />
Contributions related to any
aspect of the description and modelling of regional climate are welcome.
Some of the topics addressed in the workshop will be the description of
present and future regional climates, the development and evaluation of
regional climate system models and the assessment of extreme and high
impact events.<br />

You are welcome to have a look and participate in the discussion on this new forum, and please also spread this information among your colleagues. You just need to register, then you will be able to post messages and open new topics. For a start we have two forums open: "General issues" and "Nemo". More can be added upon request. If you encounter any problems in using the forums let us know as we are just starting this.<br /><br />http://caom.forumieren.de<br /><br />Marcus Reckermannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08181350378437156846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732948857185901546.post-39498964702588653062016-12-14T22:43:00.002+01:002016-12-15T05:17:13.839+01:00BACC as example for "Mature Science"<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The AGU Fall Meeting in San Fransisco is the largest
scientific meeting in the world. Each year in December, 20.000

<span class="s1">The presentations were followerd by a dedicated
podium discussion. Here, the term "mature science" was discussed for the case of
climate science; loosely defined as the state of science which has reached a
preliminary "it is now fairly safe to say" status, and on the basis of which
political and management decisions can be taken. The global IPCC and regional
climate reports were discussed as examples for the documentation of such
"mature" science.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">20 students
from 6 countries from around the Baltic Sea have gathered on the beautiful
Swedish island of Askö for the third Baltic Earth summer school. After a rainy
start, the sun is out and everybody is in good spirits for the days to come.
Coming from an interdisciplinary mix of backgrounds (meteorology, oceanography,
geography, social science, coastal engineering), the Master and PhD students
will learn about the state of the art of climate and climate change research in
the Baltic Sea region. Seven lecturers will cover all aspects of climate change
in the Baltic Sea region. Course coordinators are Markus Meier from the Leibnitz
Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde and Marcus Reckermann from the International
Baltic Earth Secretariat at Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht. The summer school is
also co-organized by the Universities of Rostock and Stockholm.</span></div>

mixture of interwoven factors, among them climate change and its
associated impacts, eutrophication, pollution, fisheries, land cover
change and others. Each of these factors has a scientific and a societal
dimension, which are often interdependent, and which makes the
identification of a single, or even dominant factor responsible for the
change difficult.<br />

The scope of this first Baltic Earth Conference is
to attempt to describe the different factors for change, their impacts
on the Earth system of the Baltic Sea region, and to demonstrate the
capacity to model any of these factors in a single or a coupled
approach. Are we able to simulate the observed changes in a realistic
way? Are we able to produce credible scenarios for the future?
Ultimately, this analysis should help to identify knowledge gaps and
research needs for the coming years, to help find solutions for the
challenges we face in the future.<br />
<br />
We sincerely hope that you and many of your colleagues may find this interesting enough to come to Nida on the Curonian Spit in June 2016. This is a wonderful place to discuss the above topics.<br />

We now invite contributions covering topics covered by the two assessment projects but are not necessarily part of them. Thus we would like to invite the North and Baltic Sea climate change and impacts research community to submit abstracts.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">During the
BACC II presentation in Copenhagen, I took the opportunity to ask Deliang Chen
of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, a few questions. Deliang has been an
important figure in international research coordination for many years. From
2009 to 2012 he was Executive Director of ICSU, the International Council of
Science (ICSU). This international organization has committed itself to
strengthen international science and scientific collaboration on the global
level for the benefit of society. The transition of the Earth System Science
Partnership programmes and the birth of Future Earth fell into Deliang´s term
at ICSU. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Q: What
raised your interest in climate scienc</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A: It was
clouds. When I was a child, I was fascinated by the seemingly unlimited number
of different forms of clouds. That trigged my interest in meteorology, and then
climate science. I became really interested in climate science during my PhD
work which dealt with global climate modeling. Since then I have a fairly broad
interest in Earth System Science which has replied on advances in climate
science, especially the creation of the concept climate system and climate
models.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Q: During
your time at ICSU, how has the international research landscape changed (with
respect to environmental change programmes) and how to you rate that change?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A: A lot of
things happened during my tenure at ICSU (2009-2012). As you know, ICSU have
many activities, but the leadership for global environmental change programmes
(IGBP, IHDP, WCRP, Diversitas and their partnership ESSP) is probably the most
important one. I would say that the most important change is the mindset of the
global scientific community. Having realized the crucial role that human
activity plays and the great need of society for scientific input to achieve
sustainability, the community is more ready to move towards truly integrated
Earth System Science and to take the responsibility to find new ways to
co-design and co-create knowledge involving a broad range of social and
engineering communities, as well as with other stakeholders. I think these
changes are necessary and great since all scientists also have social
responsibility through our basic and applied research activities. While
fundamental research is often disciplinary and curiosity driven research is
always needed, solution oriented research with in-depth disciplinary knowledge
and transdisciplinary approach provide effective means to deliver useful and
relevant knowledge to society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Q: The new
BACC book has just now been finished. What are the main differences to the
well-known IPCC reports?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A: To me
there are two main differences with regard to government involvement and scope.
IPCC is a UN body under influences of governments, while BACC represents a
bottom-up process involving scientific communities in the region. The IPCC
report focuses on climate change issues only, whereas BACC also dealt with
non-climate issues such air pollution. Besides, IPCC has three separate working
groups and reports, whereas BACC has integrated various aspects in one volume.
The political aspects of IPCC are sometimes seen as something negative. But it
is absolutely necessary as it is meant to serve as a common basis for
interaction negotiations on climate change. BACC enjoys the full independence
compared to IPCC. But it may need additional efforts to reach out to the policy
and decision making communities afterwards, to make it more useful and
accessible to the nonacademic readers. It is clear that the regional focus of
BACC report offers a great potential to be useful for the region. However,
nothing automatic should be expected. Finally, since the future scenarios of
BACC depend on IPCC report, the two efforts are really complementary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Q: You are
in the new Baltic Earth advisory committee. Where do you see Baltic Earth in
the international research landscape?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A: I see
Baltic Earth as a mutual community and network with a great potential for
research development and service to society in the Baltic Sea region. It had
some links to WCRP through GEWEX which focuses on water and energy balance. Now
that both Baltic Earth and international research landscape have been changed and
is changing, there is an opportunity for Baltic Earth to find its new role and
its relation with global research programmes. In this regard, I am thinking
specifically on a new framework towards regional Earth System Science for
sustainability in the region, and the new global research program Future Earth
which is becoming “the game of the town” for Earth system science for global
sustainability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Q: What
would be your advice for Baltic Earth in the long term?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A: I would
say that the most important thing is to keep focusing on added value and
synergy in the changing world and remain relevant and inspirational. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Q: Tell us
a little bit about your current research activities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A: At the
national level, I am involved in two Swedish national strategic research
programs BECC (Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate) and
MERGE (ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system). I am also leading a
project to develop a framework to support climate-adaptation actions in Sweden
with a focus on extremes such as flooding and drought. At the international
level, I am involved in statistical downscaling activity for VALUE (a COST
action) and CORDEX (a WCRP project). Overall, my main focus has been on a
project looking at climate change and its impact on water balances in Tibet. I
visited Tibet in 2011 and have since then developed a strong interest for the
regional. Recently, I joined a group of more than 80 Chinese scientists in
making an Environment Change Assessment for Tibet, which is similar to the BACC
effort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">On 14 May
the new book on climate change in the Baltic Sea basin and related impacts was
presented and discussed at the 2nd European Climate Change Adaptation
Conference (ECCA) in Copenhagen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
event seemed perfect for this purpose as several hundred scientists,
practitioners, politicians and other stakeholders gathered at the ECCA
conference to discuss the state of the science and adaptation strategies
regarding the challenge of climate change. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In the
morning, Marcus Reckermann, coordinator of the book project, presented some
core results on behalf of the authors. Then, in a midday plenary, BACC
initiator and chairman Hans von Storch of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht and
University of Hamburg, gave some background information on the BACC scope and
process, followed by a vivid panel discussion. Members of the discussion panel
next to Hans were (from left to right): Deliang Chen of the University of
Gothenburg, Sweden, renown climate scientists and former Executive Director of
ICSU (International Council of Science), Lykke Leonardsen, co-organizer of the
ECCA conference and head of the Climate Unit of the City of Copenhagen, and
Maxi Nachtigall, Advisor at CBSS (Council of the Baltic Sea States), a
political forum for regional intergovernmental cooperation between the Baltic
Sea states. The midday session was chaired by Jürgen Kropp of Potsdam Institute
for Climate Impact Research, and the discussion was moderated by Marcus
Reckermann of the International Baltic Earth Secretariat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

discussion evolved around two questions: Firstly, what are the differences
between BACC and the IPCC reports (and why are regional reports necessary), and
secondly, specifically addressed to the two ladies, what is the use for
stakeholders? Here is the attempt of a very brief summary: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Why a
regional report?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The first
question was taken up by Hans who pointed out that regional experts know the
conditions in their region better than “global” experts. Also, regional
decision makers require regional knowledge, as highly resolved as possible.
Hans also stressed the aspect that knowledge is more important than authors,
which is manifested by the fact that the new BACC report was authored by a
completely new group of authors, who nevertheless confirmed the knowledge of
the first report of 2008. Deliang mentioned the aspect that BACC is an independent
“bottom-up” effort organized by scientists while IPCC is a political
organization under governmental influence. Still both approaches have their
justification and should be considered as complementary rather than
competitive.</span></div>

use?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The question
whether the previous BACC material had been used by the stakeholder community
was candidly discussed. Both representatives from the stakeholder community
confirmed that the BACC material has been useful, but they also revealed
potential for improvement. Maxi suggested that a cooperation with other
stakeholders similar to the one with HELCOM would be desirable, so that the
material could be better shaped for the specific stakeholder needs. Lykke
pointed out that it is virtually impossible for a practitioner in a city
administration to work through the whole book and find the gems which are
relevant for their work. “Help us find the diamonds”, Lykke said, and Hans
replied that scientists do not know what the true diamonds for specific
stakeholder groups are. “You need to tell us what you need to know”, he said.
Also the envisaged publication of small summary booklets in the many languages
of the Baltic Sea region, may only partly solve this problem.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">It seems
that if we really want to provide useful information not only for the
scientific community, we need to communicate on a par and in an open way. Maybe
this resume has also relevance for the complete conference.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Each year,
geoscientists from all over the world meet in Vienna at the European General
Assembly (EGU). This year, the Baltic Earth Secretariat, together with the
coordinators of the North Sea climate change assessment project NOSCCA, had
organized a joint session which aimed to bring together the recent results of
both recent assessments, BACC II and NOSCCA. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The half-day session was called “Climate
change assessments for the Baltic and North Sea regions: Observations, model
projections and impacts” and was one of the opening sessions of the conference
on Monday 13 April. Despite strong competition, the lecture hall was almost
“sold out”, and we counted nearly 100 participants. The oral session with 12
talks in the morning was complemented by a poster session in the evening,
during which 17 posters were on display. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The concept
to bring together the two assessments proved to be successful, which was shown

According to Springer, the BACC II book will be officially published on 14 May 2015: <a href="http://www.springer.com/earth+sciences+and+geography/earth+system+sciences/book/978-3-319-16005-4">http://www.springer.com/earth+sciences+and+geography/earth+system+sciences/book/978-3-319-16005-4</a>. <br />
<br />
On this occasion we will have a short launch event in the frame of <a href="http://www.ecca2015.eu/">ECCA 2015</a>
the European Climate Change Adaptation Conference, 12-14 May in
Copenhagen, with an expected 1.000 participants. This conference seems
perfect for the launch of the book, as international stakeholders
interested in regional climate change information will gather there.<br />
<br />
<strong>The event will be on Thursday 14 May as Midday Plenary in the Auditorium 11 of the Bella Center in Copenhagen, 13:15 - 13:45.</strong><br />
<br /> There will be a short introduction to BACC by Hans von Storch,
followed by a podium discussion. Here, we have confirmed participation
by a range of stakeholders:<br />
<br />
<em>Hans von Storch</em>, climate scientist and BACC initiator<br />
<em>Deliang Chen</em>, climate scientist (University of Gothenburg, and former Executive Director of ICSU, the International Council of Science)<br />
<em>Maxi Nachtigall</em>, representative of a political network (CBSS
Secretariat; the Council of the Baltic Sea States provides an
intergovernmental platform for regional cooperation and works through
networks and project-based activities)<br />
<em>Lykke Leonardsen,</em> practitioner in climate change adaptation (Head of Climate Unit, City of Copenhagen)<br />
HELCOM representative (asked) HELCOM is the intergovernmental
commission for the protection of the Baltic Sea, and an important
policy-science interface in the Baltic Sea region. HELCOM has been a
prime stakeholder of BACC, and two HELCOM Thematic Assessment Reports
were published on the basis of the BACC material.<br />
<br />
Earlier on this day (Thursday 14 May), a short summary of the BACC II
book will be presented in the Session "Adapting the Baltic Sea region to
a changing climate" under the Topic "Regional Challenges and
Opportunities", at 8:30 in the Auditorium 12.<br />
<br />
We sincerely hope to see many of you at this event, to be part of the BACC II launch!Marcus Reckermannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08181350378437156846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732948857185901546.post-31362708625479132022015-02-22T19:47:00.002+01:002015-02-22T20:00:10.667+01:00BACC II book on the finish line...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The new Baltic Earth website is online!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.baltic-earth.eu/">www.baltic-earth.eu</a><br />
<br />
The new website succeeds the brave BALTEX website which has served BALTEX and Baltic Earth information for two decades. It is now in its well-deserved retirement, but still at service for any information on the BALTEX programme. It remains online under its address <a href="http://www.baltex-research.eu/">www.baltex-research.eu</a>, but will not be further updated except for BALTEX related issues which may still come up in the future. Both, the old BALTEX and the new Baltic Earth sites are interlinked. And by the way... soon we there will be a Baltic Earth Facebook page.Marcus Reckermannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08181350378437156846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732948857185901546.post-86894994915908117302015-02-13T08:47:00.000+01:002015-02-13T08:47:44.550+01:00Joint BACC and NOSCCA session at the EGU in Vienna, 12-17 April 2015BACC has compiled the available knowledge on climate change and its impacts in the Baltic Sea region in a book in 2008. Then in 2010 there was a dedicated report following the BACC template, for the <a href="http://www.klimabericht-hamburg.de/">metropolitan region of Hamburg</a> in Northern Germany; this only in German due to its geographically very regional scope. And then an initiative was started to do a BACC-like effort for the North Sea region - named <a href="http://noscca.hzg.de/">NOSCCA </a>(North Sea Region Climate Change Assessment). The NOSCCA team did not have the advantage that it could be recruited from an existing network of scientists, like BALTEX for the Baltic Sea in the case of BACC. Even more appreciable are the successful efforts of the NOSCCA coordinators to install a high level scientific writing team. The NOSCCA book will be published at the end of 2015 or early 2016, presumably, but they are now in a phase at which their results and chapters contents can be shared with the scientific community. This will be done in a joint session together with BACC. The BACC II book is about to be published (in print, expected in spring 2015). BACC II will also be available as Open Access.<br />

<br />
Here is the justification of the delegation:<br />
<br />
Professor Hans von Storch from Hamburg, Germany is awarded the Baltic Sea Fund Prize for his efforts to shed light on the effects of climate change on the Baltic Sea. He has given an exemplary contribution to compilation of fragmentary information and knowledge into a comprehensive picture of the impact of climate change in the region. Von Storch is through his interdisciplinary collaboration, e.g. with social scientists, and through his interest in the social and human aspects, been able to increase the understanding of climate and climate change in the wider socio-economic context among policy makers and the general public.<br />
<br />
I would think that this prize indirectly also honours all those who have participated in the BACC efforts. The second BACC book is currently in preparation and is expected to be published sometime this summer.<br />
<br />
Congratulations Hans!Marcus Reckermannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08181350378437156846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732948857185901546.post-37723770653569126172013-12-21T18:38:00.000+01:002013-12-21T22:23:07.006+01:00Baltic Earth, working Group on Outreach and Communication<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<br />
I am suggesting two activities for our working group. Obviously, this working group may pursue a broad range of activities, and my suggestion should not limit anybodies enthusiams to launch other activities.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
a) <b>An interview series with significant contributors to the BALTEX/Baltic Earth programm</b>e. The format could be similar to my series in the <a href="http://atmospheres.agu.org/newsletter.shtml">Newsletter of the AGU Atmospheric Science Section</a>, see <a href="http://www.hvonstorch.de/klima/interview.htm#agu">collection of interviews</a>. The interviews should be published in the Newsletter of Baltic Earth. Abuot half of teh questions could be the same in all interviews, for instance related to BALTEX, the progress in science, the new perspectives etc., the other half could relate specifics of the interviewee, e.g., what happened in her/his country, his/her discipline etc. The interviews would be done in writing, via e-mail.<br />
I would need a partner for doing such interviews<br />
<br />
b) <b>A partial implementation of the strategy as sketched in the short article</b><br />
<i>von Storch, H. and I. Meinke, 2008: <a href="https://www.academia.edu/5494115/Regional_climate_offices_and_regional_assessment_reports_needed">Regional climate offices and regional assessment reports needed</a>. Nature geosciences 1 (2), 78, doi:10.1038/ngeo111.</i><br />
Such an effort can be based on the BACC-Reports, which provide an assessment of the scientifically legitimate knowledge about climate, climate change and climate impact in the Baltic Sea Region.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.norddeutsches-klimabuero.de/">Norddeutsches Klimabüro</a>, lead by Insa Meinke at HZG in Germany, runs two activities, which I suggest to implement also in other countries of the Baltic Sea region - all in the national languages.<br />
o The first is a web-service <a href="http://www.norddeutscher-klimaatlas.de/">Norddeutscher Klimaatlas </a>which displays scenarios of possible future climate developments in subregions; in the German case, one region is the German Baltic Sea coast region; another one is the <a href="http://www.ujscieodry-atlasklimatu.pl/">Polish/German Odra-estuaray region</a> (in Polish). Since the scenario runs employed in this software system cover all of Northern Europe, this system could be transferred to other subregions of the Baltic Sea - but some work would be needed for transferring the system to other regions.<br />
o The second is a little <a href="http://www.norddeutsches-klimabuero.de/PDFs/HZG_Booklet_Ostsee_Ansicht.pdf">brochure in German</a>, which sums up the key results of BACC for the considered region, and adds specifics from the web-based Klimaatlas. The idea would be to have similar brochures also in the other countries, all in the national languages, and in the context of regional issues.<br />
<br />
I suggest to form in -if possible- all countries of Baltic earth a small working group, who would implement the web-Based Klimaatlas, and prepare the brochure in the respective language and with appropriate regional conceptualizations.<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
A third issue is to built a survey, along the lines which I used on three cases when meeting stakeholders form teh Baltic Sea Region: see <a href="http://thebaccblog.blogspot.de/2013/12/what-do-interested-audiences-">below</a>. I would need help to come up with better and more relevant questions, which could be used by others presenters of Baltic Earth, so that would get a broader sample. Volunteers, suggestions, comments?</div>

<br />
When discussing issues related to climate change, and in particular the process and result of BACC, I
have recently used our “Turning Point” technology (for a voting pad, see Figure)
to map the opinions among the audience. This system allows showing questions on
the screen, and the participants respond by pressing a number of the pad – the
frequency is determined by software on the laptop, and when the voting is
complete, the result is shown on the screen – visible for everybody. The voting
itself is really anonymous, as nobody can really see which number a neighbor is
pressing.<br />
<br />
The motive for doing this is two-fold, one to allow the
audience to note that there are indeed different opinions in the room – the
response is usually very positive – and that it may give us Baltic Earthers an
extra understanding what our stakeholder perceive and believe. Obviously, these
surveys do not provide a representative estimate of opinions, but a mere
snapshots of very different groups. I my case, these groups have all in common,
not only that they are interested in climate and Baltic sea, but they also join
a presentation by Hans von Storch.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
So far I have used the system three times in the Baltic context, with audiences
between 15 and 50 people; in one case, many voting pads failed because of a
stupid error of mine, so that only about 10 people could take part. These three
runs took place in December 2013 in Germany, Denmark and Latvia. The survey was
done in the local languages.<br />
<br /></div>
The questions used so far were:<br />
<br />
<i><b>Man-made climate change</b></i><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li> I am convinced that we are currently experiencing human-induced climate change.</li>
<li> I have serious doubts that we are dealing with a human induced climate change</li>
<li> No answer</li>
</ol>
<b>Energy & climate policy</b><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li> I support the energy transition policy that leads away from nuclear, oil and coal use </li>
<li> I find the transition premature and connected with too high costs </li>
<li> I do not believe that science legitimizes the energy transition</li>
<li> I tend to prefer a different climate policy, such as adaptation as needed or geoengineering</li>
<li> No answer</li>
</ol>
<b>Extreme weather events</b><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>I perceive an increase in the strength of regional storms in the last decade </li>
<li> Our storms have always been dangerous but I cannot determine a systematic change towards more or stronger storms</li>
<li> No answer</li>
</ol>
<b>Role of science in policymaking</b><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li> Science should make policy recommendations to deal with problems when first indications show up that there is a
serious problem</li>
<li>Science is to make policy recommendations dealing with problems when a consensus is made in science</li>
<li>Science should not issue any recommendations, but only describe the problem and possible solution strategies</li>
<li>No answer</li>
</ol>
<b>I a seriously concerned about the state of the Baltic Sea because of</b><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li> Eutrophication</li>
<li> Pollution (incl. dumped ammunition)</li>
<li> Overfishing</li>
<li> Climate change</li>
<li> Several causes</li>
<li> Other causes </li>
No answer </ol>
<br />
<br />
The Danish, German and Latvian versions are available on the
web (<a href="https://www.academia.edu/5348358/Survey_among_Danish_students">DK</a>, <a href="https://www.academia.edu/5348350/Survey_among_a_German_lay_audience">D</a>, <a href="https://www.academia.edu/5348346/Survey_among_Latvian_stakeholder">LV</a>) ,
where the details of the survey are also given.<br />
<br />
<b>The frequencies of
responses of our surveying</b> of –so far: - three quite different groups are
given in the following table. The German group is made of an audience in a
German University town, a Danish group of students in a regular lecture; the
Latvian sample is a group of stakeholders.<br />

Evidently, the opinions vary greatly. Among the Danish
students there are no doubts about the fact that man is the main driver behind
the ongoing climate change, whereas in the other two groups from Germany and
Latvia about 50% of the participants have serious doubts about this explanation.
In Germany and Denmark, the respondents favor the present energy-policy of
out-phasing fossil fuels (and nuclear) from the energy mix, but in Latvia,
stakeholders are more reluctant and find such a policy immature and
insufficiently supported by science.<br />
<br />
A change in storminess is perceived by a majority in the
Danish and the Latvian sample, but not in the German sample. 60% to 70% in all
three groups favor science to give policy recommendations, either when first
signs show up or when consensus has been established. The position of an
“honest broker”, which provides analysis and contextualizes options,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is favored by 20% in Germany and Denmark, but
by 40% in Latvia.<br />
<br />
With respect to causes of concern with respect to the Baltic
Sea, most respondents see several significant factors at work; the single most
significant is seen in pollution, whereas all others are only on the minds of
very few members of the groups. Interestingly, the Danish students voice no
concern about pollution and eutrophication as primary issues, maybe because of
their chemistry curriculum is likely dealing also with water quality issues.<br />
<br />
<b>Help needed</b> <br />
I ask for comments of this exercise – are these questions
precise enough, are answers to such questions informative? I am ready to change
the catalog of questions accordingly. Also, I would help to get the list of
questions also in other local languages of the Baltic Sea regions. Please
check the compatibility of the different versions.<br />
<br />
<i><b>I would welcome very much, if others would like to use the
same format with their audiences. This effort would then become a major
component in the working group on outreach and communication within Baltic
Earth. </b></i><br />
<br />
PS: The <a href="http://www.polleverywhere.com/">internet tool</a> (http://www.polleverywhere.com/) allows to do such surveys with a laptop, and the participants use their smart-phones. <br />

<b>Baltic Earth</b> is the name of the programme which is to succeed BALTEX. The continuity in basic research fields, structure (secretariat, conferences, publications) and the network (people and institutions) is symbolised by the clearly recognizable logo, being very similar to the BALTEX logo, but still distictly different.<br />
<br />
Baltic Earth stands for the vision to achieve an improved Earth system understanding of the Baltic Sea region. This means that the research disciplines of BALTEX continue to be relevant, but a more holistic view of the Earth system encompassing processes in the atmosphere, on land and in the sea as well as in the antroposphere shall gain in importance in Baltic Earth relative to BALTEX. Specific grand research challenges are currently being formulated which represent interdisciplinary research questions to be tackled by the new programme in the coming years. A major means will be scientific assessments of particluar research topics by expert groups, similar to the BACC approach, which shall help to identify gaps and inconsistencies in the current knowledge.<br />
<br />
A detailed presentation of Baltic Earth will be available shortly on
the BALTEX and of course on the new Baltic Earth website (in
preparation)!<br />
