Pre-monsoon rainfall in Northeastern (NE) Indian subcontinent (NEIS) is now emerging as new hotspot of Asian monsoon research of climate change impact. Devastating tornadoes, floods and lightning activities due to extreme Severe Local Storms (SLSs) are increasing in recent decade showing a possible signal of extreme pre-monsoon climate in the near future. Further, recent climate change science elucidated the unique strong land-atmosphere coupling in premonsoon system over the NE India can be a key factor to induce significant uncertainties in future climate change projection.
In this workshop, we would like to advance our understanding of pre-monsoon SLSs for mitigation of disasters under the upcoming climate change over this region.
Our primary topics of the workshop will be:
- Historical database for pre-monsoon hazards over NEIS
- Developments of modelling strategies for the pre-monsoon SLSs over NEIS
- Innovative understanding of the concept of “pre-monsoon”
- Future projection of pre-monsoon SLSs over NEIS under the climate change
- Analysis of passed pre-monsoon SLSs over NEIS
- Future plans for observational field campaign for pre-monsoon SLSs over NEIS
- Strategies for enhancement of preparedness for pre-monsoon hazards over NEIS

The GEWEX Global Groundwater Network (GGN) will have a Splinter Meeting at the EGU in Vienna, Austria on
Wednesday, April 30th at 8:30, Room 2.83.
The aim of this meeting is to discussing ongoing and future GGN activities to build a strong community and establish a constructive, consistent voice for hydro-geology and groundwater modeling in Earth system modeling and GEWEX framework.
The session description of the Splinter Meeting can be found at

The Global Flood CrossCutting Initiative brings together research communities that various funding agencies have cultivated to advance flood research and assessment. The goal is to identify opportunities where global collaborations can uniquely advance more approaches to understand flood consequences and identify the data, research infrastructure, and initiatives necessary for impactful partnership on this subject.
To discuss ideas and engage with the community on this important topic and help move this initiative forward, an online meeting is hosted every first Friday of the month at 09:00 am (EDT).

The Climate Extremes Research Group organizes an international conference and workshop in September 2025 on the topic of Systemic Risks and Climate Extremes.
Systemic risks are emerging as an important topic on the science and policy agendas. Systemic risk can arise from the interplay of climate change and natural hazards within a network of interdependent social, technical, ecological and economic systems. As a result, we are confronted with multiple, interlinked and intensifying crises in global systems.
Aims:
- bring together people from different disciplines working on systemic risks
- exchange of researchers and practitioners
- showcase the challenges in systemic risks related to climate extremes
- gain a better understanding of tools and data
- create new opportunities for cross-sectoral/cross-disciplinary collaboration on the topic of systemic risks related to climate extremes

Applications are open until April 17th 2025 for the Hackathon on Machine Learning for the Earth System, August 27-29 in Bonn! This is a hands-on event for Ph.D. students and early-career researchers passionate about applying ML to weather and climate research. The event features inspiring expert talks, hands-on coding challenges, mentorship & networking with leading researchers, and exciting prizes for top projects. There are two tracks, beginner and advanced, and all skill levels are welcome. Find more info at https://cesoc.net/machine-learning-for-the-earth-system-registration/.
The IX Convection Permitting Climate Modeling Workshop will focus on the theme of “Extreme Precipitation in Coastal Cities.” The event will feature keynote speakers and discussions centered on this topic, highlighting challenges and advancements in understanding, simulating, and adapting and mitigating the impacts of extreme precipitation events in urban coastal regions.
