iLEAPS, the Integrated Land Ecosystem-Atmosphere Processes Study
(http://www.ileaps.org/) is organizing a Science Conference 24-28 August
2009 in Melbourne, Australia.

The iLEAPS Scientific Steering Committee is hereby inviting session topics
and conveners for the iLEAPS conference. The sessions will be thematic and
encompass several projects and initiatives all over the world. To fit the
iLEAPS objective, the sessions will be addressing land-atmosphere
interactions in an integrative manner.
 
iLEAPS is also organizing an Early Career Scientists' Conference/Workshop
prior to the main conference. We welcome suggestions for topics and hosts,
especially from Australia.

The deadline for the proposals for iLEAPS Science Conference sessions and
Early Career Scientists' Conference/Workshop is Tuesday, 24 June 2008.

The iLEAPS Science Conference is organized parallel to GEWEX Scientific
Conference. The two parallel conferences will have three joint sessions that
cover broadly the following themes: 1) Land in the climate system; 2)
Aerosol, cloud, precipitation, climate interactions; 3) Future generation of
integrated observation and modeling systems.   

We are looking forward to your proposals; please contact Anni Reissell
(anni.reissell@helsinki.fi) for proposals and more information!
