The GEIA/ACCENT Workshop - June 2004, was an excellent opportunity to have in-depth discussions aimed at
GEIA had an informal informational meeting during the IGAC conference September 18-25, 2002 in Crete Greece. Progress on the 2001 GEIA Initiatives was the main discussion topic.
The workshop summary for the mini GEIA workshop is now available.
The GEIA Workshop 2001 was held in conjunction with the workshop on "Emissions
of Chemical Species and Aerosols into the Atmosphere" in Paris, France 19-22
June 2001 (See Poet
site for details). The GEIA workshop took place June 18, 2001
(see
workshop summary
for details).
The Workshop 2001 Summary is now available. As
was discussed at the workshop, GEIA will be assuming a broader role in the
global change community. GEIA will be going beyond development of
standard inventories to provide the most timely data and related information on
chemical fluxes and processes across land/water/air.
The first GEIA planning meeting occurred in September 1990, in Chamrousse, France, in association with the 7th CACGP Symposium on Global Atmospheric Chemistry.
The First International Workshop on Global Emissions Inventories was held in conjunction with the CHEMRAWN (Chemical Research Applied to World Needs) meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, in December 1991. The second workshop was held near Oslo, Norway, in June 1992, under the local sponsorship of the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, and the third was held at Amersfoort, The Netherlands, in early 1993, under the auspices of the National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection.
The Fourth International Workshop on Global Emissions Inventories was held in late 1993, at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, USA. A special focus of this workshop was on communication between GEIA inventory developers and atmospheric chemistry modelers. The workshop was scheduled in conjunction with a symposium on "Challenges in Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Change: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," held by NCAR to honor Paul Crutzen on his 60th birthday..
The fifth workshop was held in conjunction with the Eighth CACGP Symposium and the Second IGAC Scientific Conference at Fuji-Yoshida, Japan, September 1994. The sixth workshop was held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in July 1995, following the conference "Acid Reign 95?" The seventh workshop was held in Toronto, Canada, May 31-June 2, 1996.
The eighth workshop was held in Bilthoven, The Netherlands, on 3-4 November 1997. It was hosted by the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), the Netherlands governmental agency on the environment. The GEIA workshop was held back-to-back with the IPCC Expert Meeting on Methods for the Assessment of Inventory Data Quality on 5-7 November 1997. The IPCC meeting was cosponsored by RIVM on behalf of the Netherlands Centre of Climate Research (CKO) and the WAU/DLO Climate Change and Biosphere Research Programme (CCB).
The Ninth International Workshop of the Global Emissions Inventory Activity was held at the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington (USA) 19-20 August 1998. It was held back-to-back with the Joint International Symposium on Global Atmospheric Chemistry (CACGP/IGAC 1998 Symposium): Ninth Symposium of the IAMAS Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry & Global Pollution (CACGP) and Fifth Scientific Conference on the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Project (IGAC).
The Tenth International Workshop of the Global Emissions Inventory Activity (GEIA) was held in Bologna, Italy, on 13 September 1999 in conjunction with the Sixth Scientific Conference of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Project (IGAC). The objective of the GEIA Workshop was to provide an opportunity for informal exchange of information about updated inventories and the future direction of the GEIA Web Site between GEIA participants and others interested in global/regional emissions inventories who were attending the IGAC Conference.
