Call For Papers
Inaugural Symposium of the Commission on History of Meteorology, IUHPS

Papers are requested on international aspects of the history of meteorology, broadly construed to include scientific, environmental, social, political and cultural issues. How did meteorology emerge as an international science? What tensions have existed between national weather services, national research styles, and international or global agendas? What are the social and/or cultural implications of trans-national research, education, and forecasting?

Participants may also wish to attend the inauguration of the new Commission on the History of Meteorology of the IUHPS and participate in its governance. If circumstances warrant, the Commission will pursue publication options for the conference papers.

Deadline for early registration: 15 December 2000; Deadline for abstracts: 30 April 2001; Meeting dates: 8-14 July 2001; Conference web page: http://www.smhct.org/default.htm
