The Berlin Summit
Earth Virtualization Engines (EVE), with the support of the German Research and Education Ministry (BMBF) and other partners, is proud to announce the Berlin Summit to advance Climate Science and Service. The Berlin Summit will bring together invited participants from across the world to draft a blueprint for an international climate science and service center. Prominent keynote speakers from science, industry and politics will outline the challenges the center must address, and participants will adapt and fine-tune white papers outlining options for five facets of the proposed center:
- Impact and Service
- Science
- Technology
- Observations
- Structure and Governance
to be discussed in turn across the five days of the summit.

This workshop is intended to enhance activities of the cutting-edge atmospheric climate and weather models, including “K-scale” or global storm-resolving models and their collaboration with the EarthCARE satellite.
The EarthCARE satellite is scheduled to be launched in 2023, with the first-ever global observations of the vertical motion of cloud particles from space (by CPR Doppler measurement). On the occasion half a year prior to the launch, we would like to invite modeling scientists to discuss possible directions and areas of collaboration between the EarthCARE satellite and modeling communities for advancing model representations of cloud and convection physics. We also aim to facilitate the ongoing discussions of NASA AOS, which is planned for launch around 2030.
This workshop is jointly hosted by International Core-to-Core Project on Global Storm Resolving Analysis (ICCP-GSRA), which enhances activities for promoting international collaboration for global storm-resolving meteorological data analysis and their social implementation.
Since the inception of the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) program initiative – the “Impact of Initialized Land Temperature and Snowpack on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction” (LS4P) in 2018, more than 40 institutions worldwide have participated in this project.
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

The International Baltic Earth Winter School for Young Scientists on “Earth System Science for the Baltic Sea Region” is co-organized by Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), University of Rostock and the International Baltic Earth Secretariat at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon under the umbrella of Baltic Earth (baltic.earth).
The interdisciplinary school will provide a broad overview over ongoing research activities on the Earth system in the Baltic Sea region and discuss grand challenges in sciences, for instance as summarized in the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports (BEARs).
The goal of the school is to provide an overview of the level of knowledge and to assist in future career choices. Informal meetings and discussions are planned in the evenings. All participants will be given the opportunity to present their research in the form of short talks and to open up for feedback.

The objectives of Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Assemblies are to promote on an international level scientific research in space, with emphasis on the exchange of results, information and opinions and to provide a forum, open to all scientists, for the discussion of problems that may affect scientific space research.
For more information and registration visit the official meeting website at https://www.cospar2024.org
The fifth edition of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) symposium will will address the broad topic of “Space Science with Small Satellites” and covers the rapid advances made in the last decade in small, micro, and nano-satellites for space science. The symposium in addition will cover the emerging space debris issue in Low-Earth Orbit. Another focus area will be capacity building using small satellite technologies and the perspective of emerging space nations such as Singapore.

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 Young Earth System Scientists (YESS), Young Hydrologic Society (YHS), and GEWEX are pleased to announce the Early Career Workshop (ECR) Workshop on “Reflecting on African Early Career Researchers’ role in Earth Observations and Geospatial Science in the Service of Sustainable Development Goals.”
This workshop will take place alongside the 13th African Association of Remote Sensing of the Environment (AARSE) International Conference on Earth Observations and Geospatial Science, or AARSE2022. The date for the workshop is 23 October 2022.
Third webinar in the ANDEX series: “The sixth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Climate: how to generate science-society-politics interaction?
Guest speakers are Anna Stewart-Ibarra, Scientific Director of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), and Paola Arias, Professor at the Environmental School of the Faculty of Engineering from the University of Antioquia.
