Little Ice age(1250-1600) to 1800?

Pieter Bruegel the Elder 1565

River Thames 1677

The frst River Thames frost fair was in 1607 and the last in 1814

Climate drivers

So the Sun's variations are negligible.... or are they?

purpose

● Bring interested parties together to discuss solar and stellar variability data 1960s-present

● Identify fruitful directions for research (incl. PhD research)

● Write a report / white paper for NSF– New line of funding for this research?
