Join us in beautiful Sapporo, Japan, next July to address the challenges facing humanity in terms of freshwater availability and associated disaster risk reduction and sustainable development in the context of climate change and human activities. The conference website with registration details is available at https://www.gewexevents.org/meetings/gewex-osc2024/.

Sandrine Bony, Co-Chair of the GEWEX Global Atmospheric System Studies (GASS) Panel, has been awarded this year's Buys Ballot Medal for meteorology by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her work is credited with helping to clarify the interaction between clouds and circulation and reducing uncertainty about the effect of clouds on climate change. 

Former GEWEX Scientific Steering Group Chair Kevin Trenberth writes about increasing atmospheric water vapor and extreme events in The Conversation at https://theconversation.com/how-rising-water-vapour-in-the-atmosphere-is-amplifying-warming-and-making-extreme-weather-worse-213347.

Dates: 13–16 February 2024

Abstract Submission Deadline: 4 October 2024

In the past decade, there have been unprecedented changes in the fields of sensor technology, satellite missions, modeling and applications to benefit society. Massive amounts of data are available and can be ingested into data assimilation models to better understand the influence of any particular part of the water cycle. This Chapman Conference aims to explore a number of interesting questions: what is the role of scientists in this mix? Which science questions have been answered in this past decade and what are the next decade’s pressing questions? These are in the areas of water and food security, health, new sensors, and resolving conflicts between countries. How do we further connect the business of water with the researchers of water? This conference aims to bring together these groups to build further collaborations and foster new ideas that will meaningfully contribute to society in the decades to come.

Abstract Submission Deadline: 10 October 2023

The International Symposium on the Third Pole Environment (TPE) aims to promote TPE and showcase academic achievements and their relevance to society, advance current understanding of the Third Pole environment, identify academic frontier issues relating to environmental changes, and lay out future plans for further development. TPE, an international academic community initiated in 2009, has valued international, interdisciplinary cooperation and approaches since its formation, and brings together scientists from different disciplines who share an interest in the Third Pole region. 

Submission Deadline: 30 September 2023

 

This Special Issue in Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, entitled “River Mouth Systems and Marginal Seas – Natural Drivers and Human Impacts”, is based on the main theme of an Online Conference organized by the University of Szczecin and the National Museum in Szczecin, Poland, and the International Baltic Earth Secretariat at the Helmholtz Zentrum Hereon in Geesthacht, Germany, and held in December 2022. Manuscripts of conference contributions, both oral and poster, as well as manuscripts which were not presented during the conference, but fall under the above theme are invited. This Special Issue supports studies of interrelationships between natural and anthropogenic drivers needed to elaborate strategies for sustainable development of the environment of river mouths increasingly endangered by climate change and human actions. 

The 5th International Earth Surface Working Group (IESWG) meeting will be a hybrid event with two full days on 26–27 September 2023, and the final day of the 28 September for plenary, actions, and outcomes. IESWG was established to help gather requirements specific to surface observations and to enhance both our understanding and ability to monitor the components of the Earth system including land, vegetation, snow, ice, and coastal and open waters. The IESWG plenary sessions will be focused on preparing our recommendations and input to the CGMS WGII.

Location: Institute of Science and Technology (ISTA), Austria
