Recently I received quite a good number of conference related notifications. Many of reader of this blog may be participating it and they shouldn't miss the dead-line so I am listing them below. If you know conference that is not listed below but related to theme of this blog please let us know. 15th National Space Science Symposium, India (NSSS-2008) National Space Science Symposium is one the largest gathering of space scientist in India. It covers wide variety of subjects including remote sensing of atmosphere and climate change study. The next NSSS is going to be held at Radio Astronomy Centre (NCRA-TIFR) in Ooty between 26 and 29 February 2008. Ooty is one of the famous hill-station in India. Last date to submit abstract Dec 7, 2007. Broad subject areas covered in this conference Space- and ground-based astronomy and astrophysics, planetary science / exploration Solar radiation and its interaction with earth's near and distant environment Magnetosphere, ionosphere, therm...

Annual fall meeting of American Geophysical Union (AGU) and annual meeting of American Meteorological Society (AMS) is approaching close in December 2007 and January 2008 respectively. These are two biggest events in USA where more than 20 thousands scientist from around the world get together to discuss, show and present their research in various areas of Earth Sciences. Environment science is one of the main focus area in both meetings and several thousands research studies on the same will be presented. The next AMS (88th Annual Meeting) will be held in, New Orleans, LA, USA during 20-24 January 2008. Please click on the link to see various topics covered by AMS-2008 http://www.ametsoc.org/meet/annual/programsandevents.html and This year AGU Fall meeting will be held in San Francisco, CA, USA during 10–14 December 2007.

The United Nations (UN) office for outer space affairs , the government of Austria and the European Space Agency (ESA) jointly organized a symposia on “ space tools and solution for monitoring the atmosphere in support of sustainable development ”. The United Nations invites participants from several nations to attend the symposium every year. There were more than 70 scientists representing more than 41 countries who gathered in Graz , Austria during September 11-14 to discuss various available space tools for monitoring the atmosphere in support of sustainable development. This year’s symposium included a hands-on tutorial and interactive training session on “ Satellite Tools and Applications for Air Quality ”. I was part of the team, which developed material and conducted the training session. I would really like to take this opportunity to thank my supervisor Dr. Sundar Christopher for providing me this wonderful opportunity and NASA’s applied science program manager Lawrence Fried...
