Held Virtually Globally, week of 12 September 2021

For the 2021 virtual conference, IGAC’s scientific program will center its scientific program around its current working groups and activities.  This will highlight the exciting work being done as part of IGAC, grow the networks of these working groups and activities, and expose new scientists to the year-round work IGAC does. IGAC will also have an open science session for atmospheric chemistry research that does not fit into any current working groups or activities. We hope this will expose any gaps in IGAC’s current activities and serve as a poll for the atmospheric community on the next big questions in atmospheric chemistry. 

Abstracts are open for submission here and are due May 1st, 2021. You may modify abstracts submitted for the delayed Manchester 2020 IGAC conference or delete and submit a new abstract. 

The conference will take place the week of September 12, 2021. An Early Career Research Programme will take place the week before the main conference. A link to register your interest in this program is at the bottom of the abstract submission link.

The WCRP-WWRP Symposium on Data Assimilation and Reanalysis will be held in Bonn (Germany), 13-18 September 2021 alongside the 2021 ECMWF Annual Seminar on Observations. The event is kindly organized by Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) at ECMWF’s new location in Bonn.

Abstract submission and financial support applications are now open, with a deadline of 30 April 2021.

The NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) is pleased to announce details about the 49^th Global Monitoring Annual Conference (GMAC) and continue our ongoing effort to collaborate and bring the long-term global monitoring community together each year.

The 2021 virtual GMAC (eGMAC) will be held on five consecutive days: Monday, May 24th through Friday, May 28th, 2021, beginning at 12:00PM Mountain Daylight Saving Time (UTC -6). Each session will be ~3 to 3.5 hours long. Sessions will be recorded to allow colleagues in all time zones to view the presentations after the session concludes.  

Each day will have the following format plus a few short breaks:

• 6 scientific talks (12 minutes each, plus 3 minutes for questions)
• Virtual discussion rooms with the oral presenters
• Virtual poster session to include:
  • 90-second lightning talks for each poster to begin the session
  • Virtual presentation/discussion room unique to each poster

Registration is now open! If you plan to attend any of the sessions, please register on the eGMAC website: https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/gmac/register.php

Registration will be required to access links for the daily presentations and discussion rooms.

GML is happy to accept abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations again this year. Due to the virtual format, approximately 30 oral presentations will be chosen. All abstracts that are not chosen for oral presentations will be offered poster presentation slots. Poster presenters are encouraged to only submit one abstract unless they have a strong co-author that can host the virtual poster presentation room on their behalf.  

The eGMAC’s agenda is largely driven by the abstracts we receive – GML strongly encourages scientists at all points in their career to submit an abstract and we look forward to your contribution.

Abstract submission is now open! The abstract submission deadline is Monday, April 26th.  Submit your abstract at: https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/gmac/abstract.html

If you have any questions, please contact the 2021 eGMAC Organizing Committee or visit the eGMAC website:  https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/gmac/index.html
