[hidden email]The Faculty of Social Science at Western and NiCHE: The Network in Canadian History & Environment invite participants to The Climate is History: Documents as Evidence of Climate Change, a one-day workshop introducing a new collection of archival climate records and discussing the place of climate in the humanities and social sciences. Environment Canada recently sent to Western Archives on long-term loan its archival collection of Canadian daily observational weather records spanning the period from 1840 to 1960.
Historians, archivists, and digital specialists, will meet at Western on 12 May to discuss 1) specifically, how researchers can utilize this collection of climate data, and 2) generally, how to develop research infrastructure for Canadian historians and scientists working on climate history. Confirmed guests include representatives from Environment Canada and a keynote by Dr. Kevin Wood (NOAA and OldWeather.org). The preliminary program is available at http://niche-canada.org/2014/03/07/the-climate-is-history/
(On 13 May, Western is also hosting the Ontario Climate Consortium Symposium, “Science and Cities >>CONNECT”; participants at The Climate is History workshop are invited to attend.)
Interested scholars and students are encouraged to submit a one-page CV and a brief statement (not to exceed 250 words), indicating the relevance of your intellectual interests to the workshop and how you hope to benefit from participation, by email to Josh MacFadyen (<a href="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','joshmacfadyen@gmail.com');" target="_blank">joshmacfadyen@...) by 28 March 2014. Participants will be notified early April.
NiCHE will cover the costs of meals and accommodations at Western. Funds will also be available for partial contributions towards travel costs, which will be reimbursed after the event upon the submission of appropriate receipts and boarding passes. Travel grants are expected not to exceed $600 CDN.
