Please note that AGU Fall Meeting (11-15 December 2023) sessions that are co-sponsored by WCRP are now listed on our website:

https://www.wcrp-climate.org/agu2023

The abstract submission deadline is 2 August 2023.

Please note that there will be a WCRP Union Session at the Fall Meeting this year: Future prospects for climate science in the decade ahead: Lessons learned from the WCRP Kigali Open Science Conference

More details will be made available in due course. 

If any WCRP activities plan to meet at AGU this year, please let us know. We have heard of several tentative plans and there may be value in coordinating. 

Tuesday July 25th 11:00-12:30 Arg | 14:00-15:30 UTC 

This webinar is the second one in the webinar series “Actionable Climate Knowledge”

https://sites.google.com/view/mcrhubconicet/eventos/ciclo-de-webinars from the Argentinean Hub of the My Climate Risk Lighthouse Activity. In this webinar we will focus on a topic of growing interest: the study of climate storylines. Through two research experiences in Argentina, we will show different disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches that try to respond to the following challenge: how to build socially relevant climate information to face the challenges posed by climate change.  

Julia Mindlin (CIMA-UBA-CONICET-IFAECI-CNRS-IRD, Argentina) 

Assessment of plausible changes in Climatic Impact-drivers relevant for the viticulture sector: a storyline approach with a climate service perspective 

M. Florencia Fossa Riglos (PERyG-CESIA-EIDAES/UNSAM, Argentina) 

Climate storylines as a disputed field of meanings: an interdisciplinary approach

Looking specifically for candidates from Europe, China, and the Middle East. Please see announcement here for more details. 

The newly established IGAC Early Career Scientific Steering committee invites you to save November 17^th, 2023, for the first IGAC ECR remote conference which will take place across three time zones.
In each time zone, there will be invited speakers, vPICO style and poster presentations, early career relevant workshops and networking opportunities. A conference by and for early career researchers of the IGAC community, opened to all to attend.

Free registration (everyone) and abstract submission (early careers only) to come soon.

Platforms: Gather Town and Zoom.

The next iCACGP-IGAC Conference will be held from 9-13 September 2024 in Kuala Lumpur. An Early Career Short Course will be held 6-8 September 2024. More information to come soon here. 

We are excited to announce that planning is in place to launch two new Lighthouse Activities later in 2023. The new Lighthouses will focus on advancing our understanding of precipitation (to be called the Global Precipitation Experiment (GPEX)) and on research into the potential effects of climate intervention. Initial scoping of both activities showed that they will offer exciting opportunities for ambitious and transdisciplinary research to meet society’s urgent need for robust and actionable climate information. 

During the last year, travel to international meetings and conferences has slowly started to pick up again. While we learned a lot about how to interact virtually in the two years of the COVID pandemic, we also learned the value of personal interactions. The challenge now is to balance our responsibility to keep carbon emissions as low as possible with the importance of building professional relationships. The WCRP Guidelines on Reducing Carbon Emissions from Travel aims to reduce carbon emissions from WCRP-related travel, while also helping the community to think strategically about how to deliver meetings in ways that reduce the carbon footprint of the Programme.

The WCRP Explaining and Predicting Earth System Change Lighthouse Activity invites you to join the fifth webinar of the series that will provide a discussion forum on topics focused on predicting and explaining a range of different climate phenomena and events, while supporting the further development of a scientific agenda.  

This fifth webinar will focus on recent changes and the human influence on the Earth Energy Imbalance. 

SPEAKERS:  

• Karina von Schuckmann (Mercator Ocean, France): Heat stored in the Earth system 1960–2020: where does the energy go? 
• Norman Loeb (NASA, USA): Recent Changes in Earth’s Energy Imbalance 
• Shiv Priyam Raghuraman (NCAR, USA): Clear evidence of human influence on Earth’s energy imbalance 

The event will take place on Wednesday 19^th July 2023, from 14:00hs to 15:30hs UTC. Speakers will give a 20-minute talk each followed by a round table discussion, with questions from participants.  

Registrations are free and can be done via https://EPESC-webinar-Earth-Energy-Imbalance.eventbrite.co.uk 

As announced a little while back, the 2023 CCMI Science Workshop will be held in Toulouse, October 3 -5. We can now announce that the conference registration system is up and running. You can find more details about the workshop and the link to register and submit abstracts and requests for travel support at

http://www.meteo.fr/cic/meetings/2023/ccmi/

Please note that some of the dates on the website are not quite correct. The deadlines for submission of abstracts and applications for travel support is July 20^th. Apologies for any confusion and we will try and get things set right in the coming days.

Thanks to support from IGAC and SPARC, we do have limited funds available to support travel for Early Career Researchers – Ph.D students and those who have completed their Ph.D less than five years ago. More details, including how to apply, can be found on the conference website.

There will be an option to participate in the oral presentation sessions on-line, but please consider joining us in-person for all the impromptu interactions that happen outside of the presentation sessions, such as during poster sessions and coffee breaks. And for the chance to see Toulouse!

The Argentinean Hub of My Climate Risk (WCRP) invites you to attend the webinar:

How do we address climate risk? Challenges from an interdisciplinary dialogue

June 27th 11:00-12:30 Arg | 14:00-15:30 UTC

This webinar is the first one in a series entitled “Actionable Climate Knowledge.” We will address one of the main challenges in producing actionable climate knowledge: how to construct knowledge that is relevant for integration in decisions about risk management in the context of climate change. Three research experiences from different disciplinary perspectives illustrate successful cases in Argentina.
