NASA is soliciting proposals to contribute to and/or leverage ongoing efforts on its NASA Energy and Water Cycle Study Integrated Analysis (NEWS-IA). Since the landmark Rodell et al. (2015) and L’Ecuyer et al. (2015) papers on the simultaneous accounting of the water and energy cycles, the latest version of the NEWS-IA has further constrained the two
budgets using more comprehensive closure constraints. These efforts are aligned with GDAP (and GEWEX) philosophies of furthering integrated, internally consistent, and observationally-constrained datasets of global water, energy, and carbon cycle components in coordination with international space agency partners. Proposed projects may seek to: - Contribute to additional improvements by incorporating new satellite remote sensing data sets and/or new statistical approaches,
i.e. machine learning.
- Use the NEWS-IA to improve Earth System Model evaluation and refinement.
- Assess effects of anthropogenic activities on the coupled water and energy cycles.
Please read the complete solicitation available here. The due date for Notices of Intent is January 9th, 2025. Full proposals are due February 20th, 2025. |

The WGCM Infrastructure Panel (WIP) is a Working Group on Climate Modelling (WGCM) subcommittee charged with coordinating and promoting a robust and sustainable global data infrastructure in support of the development, dissemination, and evaluation of Global and Regional Climate Model Intercomparison Project (MIP) data through the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) and other WCRP and community modeling activities as resources are available. This coordination role
includes interaction with infrastructure delivery partners, ensuring that the technical requirements of infrastructure contributors to meet CMIP project infrastructure delivery are met. Both the WIP and WGCM are part of the WCRP Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) core project. The demands on this global data
infrastructure are growing with an ever wider and more diverse users, rapidly advancing data technologies, and increasing numbers of climate data portals and platforms. The WIP is seeking new members to help address these and the many other challenges in preparing the infrastructure for CMIP7, and beyond, and offer new insight and fresh thinking.

Submission Deadline: 1 October 2025 This special issue of Soil invites papers that study soil dynamics using numerical and statistical models. The focus will be on the development of model-based representations, or digital twins, of soil systems to study soil processes, dynamics, and functions from the pore to the landscape scale
and from diurnal dynamics to millennial evolution. By bringing together modelers and models that work on different spatiotemporal scales, the issue aims at synergies between soil hydrology, soil physics, soil geography, and soil ecology to develop holistic models that consider soils and their functions as dynamic systems. This SI is an initiative of the International Soil Modeling Consortium (ISMC, https://soil-modeling.org/) and the 3-4D Soil models working group (https://dbges.de/en/commissions-and-working-groups/working-groups/wg-3-4d-soil-models), part of the German Soil Science Society. |

Location: Vienna, Austria
Dates: 30 June–4 July 2025
Registration Deadline: 1 May 2025 for scholarship This Summer School is devoted to runoff prediction in ungauged basins (PUB), i.e., predicting water runoff at locations where no runoff data are available. This lack of data presents considerable challenges to catchment managers
who require information on water flows for decision making. This course, based on the book Runoff Prediction in Ungauged Basins: Synthesis across Processes, Places and Scales, will provide hydrologists with the theory and methods to address this critical challenge. Masters and Ph.D. students researching catchment hydrology and practicing hydrologists who are challenged by making predictions in the absence of runoff data are invited to attend. |
Location: Frankfurt am Main, Germany Dates: 31 March–4 April 2025 Application Deadline: 15 December 2024 This school will offer a comprehensive overview of the cryosphere's complex role in seamless prediction and climate system modeling. Lecture and group work topics will include the cryosphere in
the climate system, seasonal snow cover, ice sheets and glaciers, permafrost and seasonally frozen ground, sea ice, etc., from a modeling perspective at climate prediction to projection time scales. All participants will be requested to present their research and to open up for feedback. Participants will receive certificates corresponding to the number of hours/credits. The School is open to Ph.D. students and early career scientists (postdocs) in
geosciences such as climate science, meteorology, physical oceanography, hydrology and associated fields with a strong interest in the cryosphere in modeling. |
Application Deadline: 24 January 2025 The goal of this Ph.D. project is to advance fundamental physical understanding of the
processes controlling circulation and cloud responses to patterned SST warming. The project will involve performing idealized simulations with the Isca global climate model to test the effects of different
hypothesized mechanisms. In particular, the project will: - Directly answer the question of which regions produce the strongest cloud response when
warmed, and the regional characteristics which determine this; - Determine the role of non-uniform changes in upper-tropospheric temperature in
modulating cloud and circulation responses as a result of patterned warming; - Understand how the role of dry-air entrainment into convecting plumes shapes the circulation and cloud
responses.
This Ph.D. position is suitable for a student with an undergraduate/masters degree or equivalent in physics, mathematics, engineering, atmospheric science, computer science, or a related field. A strong background in mathematics and physics is more important than previous experience in climate science. |
Deadline: Open until filled The University of Virginia’s Department of Environmental Sciences invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Regional-Scale Climate Science, expected to begin August 10, 2025. Candidates who are dedicated to the mission of advancing understanding of the
environment through interdisciplinary scientific research, education, and service are sought. This position involves geo-spatial analyses and/or modeling of climate dynamics at scales between global general circulation models and site-level in situ data collections.
