The Conference is the fifth international event focusing on applications of space technology for water in the series of conferences organised with financial assistance of the PSIPW and the Inter-Islamic Network on Space Sciences and Technology (ISNET). The expected outcome of the workshop is to make observations and converge on recommendations for the Groundwater Summit which will take place later in 2022, as well as for the 2023 Midterm Review of the Water Action Decade.

The International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM), under auspices of UNESCO, Public Works Research Institute (PWRI), is the local host of the 9th International Conference on Flood Management (ICFM9) held in Tsukuba, Japan, from 18 to 21 February 2023.
ICFM offers an international conference platform, hosted every 3 years, to discuss a range of flood related issues and realise 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. By providing a forum for researchers, industry, policymakers and other stakeholders, the conference will identify the key concerns and significant challenges of the future.

The Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU) 2022 features a hybrid (in-person and online) meeting from 22-27 May 2022 and online Poster sessions from 29 May – 3 June 2022.
JpGU is an academic union that covers all the disciplines of Earth and planetary sciences and related fields.
The scientific functions of JpGU are currently conducted by five independent Science Sections: space and planetary sciences, atmospheric and hydrographic sciences, human geosciences, solid Earth sciences, and biogeosciences. JpGU’s main activity is the annual scientific meeting held in spring and the publication of our peer-reviewed journal (Progress in Earth and Planetary Sciences).

The European Space Agency’s 2022 Living Planet Symposium (LPS2022) is held every three years and will take place from 23–27 May 2022 in Bonn, Germany. The symposium is organized with the support of the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
LPS2022 focuses on how Earth observation contributes to science and society, and how disruptive technologies and actors are changing the traditional Earth observation landscape, which is also creating new opportunities for public and private sector interactions. The objectives this year are to:
UNDERSTAND EARTH SYSTEMS
Prove how satellite data and open science contribute to our understanding of the different Earth systems, climate and their interactions.
ADVANCE FUTURE TECHNOLOGY FOR EARTH OBSERVATION MISSIONS
Demonstrate new Earth observation instruments and technologies for existing and future missions.
NURTURE PUBLIC & PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS
Highlight the importance of existing and new partnerships, expand the Earth observation user base, increase access to capital and commercialisation.
ENABLE THE EARTH OBSERVATION DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Demonstrate how next generation technologies will create new opportunities for Earth observation including data collection, processing, distribution and analysis.
EMPOWER THE GREEN TRANSITION
Confirm how Earth observation services can be integrated with local, national and global policies to drive socio-economic sustainable development, security, and resilience.

The International Conference ‘Groundwater, key to the sustainable development goals‘ constitutes a meeting point to promote exchanges between the different national and international stakeholders in the fields of water and sustainable development. The main objectives of this conference are to:
- Examine the overall relationships between water-related SDG s, their stakeholders and groundwater
- Share knowledge, experiences, findings and good practices on GWR in sustainable development trajectories
- Elaborate recommendations to ensure the best integration of groundwater resources into the SDGs
.

This workshop will be an opportunity to share recent advances in the field of model uncertainties, to identify common interests and open research questions. While acknowledging the diversity of approaches that has emerged over the past two decades, the workshop will primarily focus on stochastic representations of model uncertainties and the following five main themes:
- Uncertainty representations in convection-permitting ensembles
- Physical consistency of perturbations
- Stochastic parametrisation closures
- Surface interface uncertainties (atmosphere-land/ocean/wave/sea-ice)

The Helsinki Commission (HELCOM) Stakeholder Conference 2022 (HSC2022) will be held online on 9-10 March 2022, in conjunction with Baltic Earth and Germany.
Centered around the theme of climate change in the Baltic Sea, HSC2022 is part of the efforts to disseminate knowledge on the regional effects of climate change. The HSC2022 will allow to gather fresh views on climate change mitigation and adaptation from policy makers and all other stakeholders in the Baltic Sea region.
HELCOM will mainly focus on the policy aspects of climate change.
Baltic Earth, a GEWEX Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP), will address the underlying science related to climate change. Baltic Earth is co-leading the EN CLIME network with HELCOM and has co-developed the Baltic Sea Climate Change Fact Sheet.
Germany (through UBA) will focus on the management aspects of climate change, including adaptation and mitigation measures. Germany currently holds the chairmanship of HELCOM, and climate change is one of the priorities of its tenure.

The completion of the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports (BEAR) marks the termination of the first phase, nine years after the launch of Baltic Earth. The BEARs provide a retrospect of Baltic Earth related research, current knowledge and knowledge gaps, and wrap up nine years of Baltic Earth activities.
The conference covers the topics of the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports (BEAR), which reflect the majority of Grand Challenges and research themes of Baltic Earth over the past nine years.
Conference participants will present their research around these topics and are invited to discuss both Baltic Earth achievements and the way forward. The conference is intended as discussion forum for scientists, students, managers and other stakeholders. There will be a dedicated young scientist´s event.
For more information, please visit the official website.
Students will be introduced to the analysis of climate variability from years to millennia as recorded from instrumental data, historical documents and proxy data such as tree ring data or sediment cores. The focus will be on the climate of the Baltic Sea region but an overview on global climate variability and processes in the atmosphere, ocean, sea-ice and land surface relevant for the climate system will be introduced as well. For the analysis of climate variability, both statistical methods and numerical modeling are used. Methods for the detection of systematic changes in climate and for the attribution of drivers to these changes will be presented and discussed. The course will introduce fundamentals of statistics, time series analysis, multivariate data analysis, uncertainty analysis in statistical methods and strategies of statistical analysis.
The application deadline is 15 January 2022.
