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will be introduced to the analysis of climate variability from years to millennia as recorded from instrumental data, historical documents and proxy data such as tree ring data or sediment cores.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.

The EGU General Assembly 2022 will bring together geoscientists from all over the world for one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career scientists, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.

The Frontiers in Hydrology meeting will test innovative approaches to convene the water community, communicate science and its integration in other disciplines, and design engaging conference experiences. Leveraging collaborations between co-sponsors, the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and CUAHSI (Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc.), the conference will include engineering, urban planning, social science, and affiliated science communities.

This workshop will provide a forum for cross-community dialog and sharing of the latest research results and work on integrating science with services. It will highlight recent advances in short-term climate predictions of conditions concerning water availability (e.g. precipitation, snowpack, drought) over the western U.S. to better inform water resource managers, and on translating climate forecasts into products to directly inform water management decisions. While the workshop topics will include the subseasonal range, emphasis and priorities for presentations and discussion will be on 1) seasonal to interannual lead-times, 2) seamless prediction systems across time scales, and then 3) subseasonal lead-times.
The objective of this important event will be to provide an opportunity to communicate, exchange and project on all major topics in the hydrological sciences within the framework of sessions organized by all IAHS Commissions and Working Groups.
“IAHS 2022” in Montpellier will be an opportunity to make a first assessment of the Panta Rhei initiative (2013-2022) which deals with changes in hydrology and society. The progress of the UPH initiative, “Unsolved Problems in Hydrology”, established in 2017-2019, will be another highlight of this Assembly.
“IAHS 2022” will also celebrate IAHS’s 100th anniversary year! It will provide an opportunity for both retrospective and prospective synthesis and debate on the discipline and its interfaces with other scientific fields and societal challenges.
This event will be accompanied throughout this week by many other “water-related” events for scientists, the general public and schoolchildren.

The Water and Climate Coalition is a multi-stakeholder initiative under the SDG 6 Accelerator framework that is aiming to provide tangible action, activities and policy support, for an integrated water and climate agenda with a special focus on data, information, monitoring systems and operational capacity.
Objectives of this workshop
- Discuss the concept of Operational Global and Regional Hydrological Modelling Community
- Outline existing gaps in operational hydrological modelling in a broader perspective.
- Agree on concrete joint activities in the testing and study phase (Please refer the attached concept note).

A virtual and free workshop on evapotranspiration science, as part of the AmeriFlux Year of Water initiative. Based on community input gathered during the AmeriFlux Annual Meeting, the workshop will focus on 4 key topics:
- ET partitioning: discuss and synthesize the advantages and limitations of various field-based methods capable of evapotranspiration partitioning.
- ET remote sensing: connections between flux tower science and remote sensing, including a training component for learners on accessing and using some remotely sensed ET data.
- Integrating in-situ water water flux measurements to advance ET science: water cycle measurement methods and their challenges/advantages, and opportunities for combining different measurement approaches.
- ET modeling: integrating ET models and observations to examine and attribute variability in ET across temporal and spatial scales.

For this third edition of the International Symposium “Climate Change & Water”, drought extreme will be highlighted. Also, as far as this crop is particularly important in the Loire-Valley, a focus on wine production is proposed.
The event will follow the lead of the 1st Climate Change and Water conference and address the latest developments in research on extreme events, evolution and acceleration of the effects of climate change on the water cycle, understanding extreme weather events and forecasting, adaptation to climate change, management, governance and strategy.

Following on from the first event in this discussion series, where the topic of tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt change in the Earth system was introduced (video here), we now present a second event focused on the role of the Amazon. The event will take place on 29 November 2021, 17:00-18:30 CET.
This event will include two excellent talks:
Is the Amazon Rainforest near a Tipping Point? – Carlos Nobre
Amazon Forest dieback in CMIP6 Earth System Models – Peter Cox
The talks will be followed by 20 minutes of formal discussions and, for those who wish to stay on, a further 25 minutes of informal discussions on the topic.
This discussion series is a joint activity of the Analysis, Integration, and Modeling of the Earth System (AIMES), the Earth Commission, and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity.
Please register for the event here: https://tipping-points-amazon.eventbrite.co.uk
The event will be recorded.
