Open call for abstracts until 31 October 2022!
Representatives of scientific disciplines working on the complexity of processes in river mouth systems and marginal seas, e.g., Earth and life scientists, climatologists, archaeologists, historians, socio-economists, modelers, and IT specialists, are invited to this online conference to jointly discuss the effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities in the area of densely populated river mouth systems on the marine and coastal environment. Oral contributions are welcome!
Rationale
River mouths such as deltas, coastal embayments, and estuaries form the gateways from the continents to the oceans, which have been attractive for people to settle along over the long period of human settlement history. The natural environment of marginal seas and their coastal zones are increasingly threatened by climate change induced rising sea-level, floods, storms, tsunamis, coastal erosion, and anthropogenically induced environmental hazards. To mitigate the threats effective strategies for sustainable development of the coastal zones have to be elaborated.
Since 2020, an international initiative promoting Marginal Seas Research has been operating within the frame of the Deep-time Digital Earth Program (DDE) of the IUGS. The mission of the initiative is the development of a general strategy for describing the processes in marginal seas holistically as an interaction between geo-, ecosystem, climate and socioeconomic systems at the zone of transition between continents and oceans.
To study the interrelation between natural and anthropogenic drivers exemplarily it is planned to promote targeted research for a deeper understanding of the river mouth systems’ development from the pristine past to the anthropogenically dominated present.
Abstract submission deadline is 31 October 2022. Registration deadline is 1 December. Registered participants will receive a zoom link shortly before the conference. The conference language is English.

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. Understanding the impact of anthropization on the lower atmosphere and representing it in models have been inhibited due to a lack of consistent and extensive observations. In recent years, land surface and atmospheric observation capabilities have advanced while irrigated surfaces have been increasing, leading to a renewed need for dedicated field campaigns over contrasting (climate) regions, especially over so-called breadbasket areas where climate change is directly threatening our food production.
The LIAISE study area is located over the Catalan counties of Urgell and Pla d’Urgell within the Ebro basin in northeastern Spain which is characterized by a semi-arid hot, dry Mediterranean climate. There is a sharp delineation between a vast, nearly continuous intensively-irrigated region and the dryer natural zone to the east. The main water source consists of artificial reservoirs located to the north in the Pyrenees mountains, and this water is brought into the irrigated area using a highly anthropized river and canal network. This conference invites contributions covering 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, and applications using remote sensing data (from planes, drones or satellites) to estimate irrigation requirements or evapotranspiration over the region. We encourage contributions from the GEWEX Determining Evapotranspiration (ET) Crosscutting Project.
The 17th WCRP/BSRN Scientific Review and Workshop will be held from the 27th to 30th of June 2022. The Sustainable Resource (Directorate D) of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission will host it in Ispra, Italy.
The workshop, in a hybrid form, is aimed to report on the status of the network and reviewing the most recent scientific achievements and technical activities related to BSRN world. The agenda with remote links to attend will be available on BSRN meeting pages and distributed through the BSRN mailing lists as soon it will be finalized. Proposal for presentations, either for remote or in presence participation (the latter closed now), should be sent within the 20th of June to Christian Lanconelli or Laura Riihimaki (see BSRN contact pages).
BSRB would like to acknowledge the Joint Research Centre and in particular Nadine Gobron and Mark Dowell for kindly hosting the upcoming meeting.
This year, the five-day conference will include themed symposium sessions, each opened by a keynote address from a renowned expert in the field. The topics for contribution are as below (but not limited to):
- S1: Environments
- S2: Solid Earth Sciences
- S3: Atmospheric Sciences
- S4: Aquatic Sciences (wetlands, freshwater and marine systems)
- S5: Interdisciplinary Earth Sciences

The 1st Climate-Permitting Climate Modelling School is a new initiative dedicated to form and prepare the new members of the climate modelling community at the convection-permitting resolution. It aims to transfer the expertise acquired within this 15 years of experience and to prepare the community for the challenges of the future. The 1st Climate-Permitting Climate Modelling School will take in place after the vi Convection-Permitting Climate Modelling Workshop (viCPCMW).
The program of the school will divided in two blocks.
Theoretical sessions (morning, 3hrs.)
- Climate simulating at convection-permitting resolution
Key aspects to take into account when performing CP climate simulations. - New paradigms for the CP climate simulation: GPU, C++
Expose to the new trend on models which are abandoning CPU-Fortran based codes to C++/GPU. - Management of new high resolution data-sets
What has to be taken into account when managing/processing large data-sets as the ones produced by the CP climate runs.
Practical session (afternoon, 3hrs.)
Hands-on exercise on the use of multiple files, which can not be fully upload into memory.

- to raise the visibility of the remarkable role and importance of the long-term satellite climate records currently in existence;
- to highlight critical accomplishments in selected areas;and
- to review challenges in sustaining a climate monitoring system.
This first ‘Climate and Radiation Monitoring’ virtual mini-symposium will consist of three invited presentations of 30 minutes each, followed by moderated discussion, and includes the following invited speakers:
- Earth Radiation Balance – Norman Loeb, NASA LaRC
- Solar Irradiance – Greg Kopp, LASP
