Call for Abstracts for
Poster Papers
Abstracts are invited for poster papers to
be presented at the Global Energy Systems Conference, venue: ‘Our Dynamic
Earth’, Edinburgh, UK, June 26 - 28, 2013.
Abstracts should be a maximum of 200-words.
Deadline for submission is 31st March 2013.
Abstracts will be reviewed by a minimum of two
reviewers from the Scientific Advisory Committee.
Acceptance notification: 30th April 2013. Early submission of abstracts will
assist the reviewing process.
Abstracts can cover completed work, or
work-in-process, and must align with the topics of the conference: www.globalenergysystemsconference.com
Posters are invited in particular for the following
areas:
(a). Energy supply or demand in a global context.
This can be analysis of one or more energy sources, or demand measures, in
terms of scope for global provision.
(‘Demand measure’ is a technology or policy that
has the potential to reduce energy use.) Where the topic is more focussed it
should have lessons of potential global relevance.
Of particular interest are:
- The changing supply picture for conventional
fossil fuels.
- Scope for, and constraints on, supply of
non-conventional fossil fuels.
- Scope for, and constraints on, supply of
non-fossil energies.
- Significant aspects relating to energy demand.
(b). ‘Systems’ aspects of energy use or demand,
especially if of a global perspective, including but not limited to: EROEI
issues; net-energy, investment, or other rate-limiting constraints to adoption
of energy supply or demand measures; current or likely future costs of
supplies, or cost-savings of demand measures.
(c). Expected impact of energy use, or demand
measures, on GHG emissions. (The conference is not soliciting papers on climate
change per se, but posters examining predicted GHG emissions from energy
sources, or demand policies, are welcome.)
(d). Energy supply and/or demand modelling;
either in a global context, or - if the model is more focussed - where the
results are potentially of global relevance.
(e). Analysis or modelling that links energy
price to levels of economic activity; on a global, regional, or sector basis.
The abstract limit of 200 words excludes title,
author name(s), affiliation(s), contact details of the submitting author -
details which must be clearly supplied; as well as Table or Figure content and
legends. Abstracts may contain Tables or Figures but the whole abstract should
be no larger than one page of A4 using a legible font.
Abstracts must clearly explain the topic, and
give an indication of findings or conclusions already made (or expected), so
that adequate judgement can be made of the work. Acceptance / rejection will be
on the basis of the abstract alone, and authors are responsible that posters
brought to the conference are a reasonable match to the work described in the
abstract.
Submit abstracts in MS Word, or in ‘.pdf’ format,
to: r.w.bentley@reading.ac.uk
Details of poster maximum size, orientation (e.g., portrait), and
suggested font will be provided nearer the date of the conference. Posters will
need to be in English, well presented, and of a font size legible from a
distance of 1 m. Authors may submit abstracts for more than one poster where
appropriate.
