Our warmest wishes for a wonderful holiday season to you and yours Peter, Shannon, and Fernande International GEWEX Project Office |
Climate model data has been increasing progressively over the past decades, leading to a shift towards data-intensive activities in climate sciences. This poses challenges for the current generation of early career researchers (ECRs) such as striking a balance between time expended in data-intensive and other foundational climate
science activities. Share your perspective on these growing data-intensive activities in climate sciences and what can be done to help early-career researchers (ECRs) achieve this balance at https://forms.gle/hbWgwKjbiytCdJ9X6.

Dates: 16–21 April 2023
Location: Nanyang Executive Centre, Singapore
Abstract Submission Deadline: 31 December 2022 In this session of the 5th Committee on
Space Research (COSPAR) Symposium, space scientists and engineers are invited to share their expertise, vision, and predictions of the status and trends of small satellite missions for Earth observation with a focus on environmental monitoring. Speakers are invited to present the latest payload design, mission architecture with large-scale constellations, data analysis from recent EO missions. The proposed session will be a platform to build knowledge on how best to utilize small satellite
platform for future missions to influence decision makers on climate and environment monitoring.

Dates: 27–29 March 2023
Location: Lleida, Spain
Abstract Submission Deadline: 13 January 2023 The main objective of the GEWEX-supported Land surface
Interactions with the Atmosphere over the Iberian Semi-arid Environment (LIAISE) project is to improve the understanding of land-atmosphere-hydrology interactions in a semi-arid region characterized by strong surface heterogeneity owing to contrasts between the natural landscape and intensive agriculture. This conference invites contributions on topics that include: - Modeling studies aimed at including anthropogenic processes (land surface, meteorological, or hydrological)
within or including the LIAISE area addressing the main project objectives
- Studies using observational data from the LIAISE field campaign
- Applications using remote sensing data (from planes, drones, or satellites) to estimate irrigation requirements or evapotranspiration over the region

Dates: 23–27 October 2023 Location: Kigali, Rwanda, and Online Abstract Submission Deadline: 28 February 2023 WCRP OSC 2023, Advancing Climate Science for a Sustainable Future, will take place in Rwanda. This conference is a once-in-a-decade opportunity for the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) communities to come together and jointly explore the transformative actions urgently needed to ensure a sustainable future. It will showcase advances in climate science, identify gaps and opportunities, and provide a
forum for communities to jointly develop future activities.

Dates: 11 December 2022 Location: Chicago, IL, USA Phase I of the Impact of Initialized Land Temperature and Snowpack on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction (LS4P) project addressed questions on the influence of land surface/subsurface temperature (LST/SUBT) and snowpack on intraseasonal to seasonal (S2S) prediction. The
GEWEX/LS4P Phase II International Kickoff Workshop will focus on: - LS4P-I achievements
- items from LS4P-I which need to be addressed
- challenging issues that the LS4P project faces
- discussion of the LS4P Phase II protocol
If you plan to attend the meeting in-person or online, please send an email to Yongkang Xue (yxue@geog.ucla.edu).

Date: 12–16 December 2022 Location: Chicago, IL, USA, and Online Will you be at the AGU Fall
Meeting? Here's a brief list of GEWEX-related sessions to attend:
|
Date and Time: 15 December 2022, 12:45–13:45 CT Location: McCormick Place, Room S106b Join this Town Hall during the AGU 2022 Fall Meeting to learn about and help shape NASA’s future Terrestrial Hydrology Test Bed on December 15. This event provides an opportunity to learn about three ongoing approaches for designing an in situ observational hydrologic test bed and a chance for the community (including you!) to share their priorities for future hydrologic research. - What questions do you feel most need to be addressed?
- What instrumentation capabilities
would advance your work?
- How could NASA support more holistic hydrologic observatories in collaboration with other agencies and organizations?
Feedback from the community plays an important role in determining NASA’s directions for future innovations.

Dates: 18–21 February 2023 Location: Tsukuba, Japan The International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM), under the auspices of UNESCO and Public Works Research Institute (PWRI), is the local host of the 9th International Conference on Flood Management (ICFM9). ICFM offers an international conference platform to
discuss a range of flood-related issues and realize significant change in a multidisciplinary, multisectoral area. It provides a unique opportunity for various specialists including engineers, planners, natural and social scientists, health specialists, disaster managers, decision makers, and policy makers to come together to exchange ideas and experiences. ICFM will consider the range of issues and challenges that affect flood management, particularly the need to build resilience into future
planning. For information, please visit the official ICFM9 website.

Career and Training Opportunities
Dates: 27–31 March 2023 Location: Warnemünde, Germany Application Deadline: 15 December 2022 This interdisciplinary school for geoscience Ph.D. students and postdocs will provide a broad overview of ongoing research activities on the Earth system in the Baltic Sea region and discuss grand challenges in sciences, as summarized, for instance, in the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports (BEARs, https://lnkd.in/eH2n6HUT). For more information and to apply, visit https://baltic.earth/education/phd_school/index.php.en.

Target Starting Date: 1 February 2023 The institute of Physics and Meteorology (IPM) at the University of Hohenheim is seeking a postdoc for
the Land Atmosphere Feedback Observatory (LAFO) starting on February 1, 2023, in order to perform research studies on land-atmosphere (LA) interaction. LAFO operates a worldwide unique synergy of in situ sensors, scanning wind, humidity and temperature lidar systems, as well as radar systems. This sensor synergy is applied to determine surface fluxes as well as turbulence profiles in order to investigate new relationships among gradients, variances, and fluxes. Results will be applied to study LA feedback and to develop new parameterizations of LA fluxes and turbulence including entrainment. These
objectives will be addressed in cooperation with an international research team that includes, among others, NOAA and NASA in the US, the GEWEX Global Land/Atmosphere System Study (GLASS), and the Local Land-Atmosphere Coupling (LoCo) Working Group of the World Climate Research Programme.
