ParaChute Conference
13-17 July 2026 | Reading, UK
The ParaChute: “Understanding turbulent and convective processes” conference will focus on representing turbulence and convection in models and will be held at the University of Reading.
The ParaChute Conference brings together scientists, model developers, and observational experts to advance our understanding and representation of turbulence in high-resolution weather and climate models. Building on the goals of the UKRI–Met Office ParaChute programme, this event focuses on the challenges that arise at kilometre and sub-kilometre scales, where turbulent motions are partly resolved but still require improved physics parameterisations. Through a combination of observational insights, theoretical advances, and innovative modelling approaches, ParaChute aims to improve the representation of convective processes, boundary-layer dynamics, stochastic methods, and physics–dynamics coupling.
The conference will cover the following themes:
- Observing turbulence
- Representing the turbulent grey zone
- Representing the convective grey zone
- Interactions between microphysics and turbulence
- Role of dynamics representation in representing turbulent processes
- Upscale transfer of turbulence-driven uncertainty in predictability
The two-day scientific conference “Ecosystem services of green building envelopes – observations and modelling” aims to present both model studies and observations at different spatial scales, from the leaf level to the city scale, and at different temporal scales, from short-term to long-term studies. The meeting is organized in the framework of the bilateral research project GREENVELOPES (Carbon and water exchange of green building envelopes) jointly carried out by CNRM (Météo-France/CNRS) and Technische Universität Braunschweig.
The conference will focus on ecosystem processes and ecosystem services provided by green building envelopes, i.e. roofs and walls. We invite results from both observational and modelling studies.

The 8th International Baltic Earth Winter School on “Earth System Science for the Baltic Sea Region” is co-organised by the Tallinn University of Technology and the University of Tartu under the umbrella of Baltic Earth (www.baltic.earth) and will take place from 23 – 27 March 2026 at the Park Inn by Radisson Central Tallinn, Estonia
The interdisciplinary school will provide a broad overview of ongoing research activities on the Earth system in the Baltic Sea region and will cover the processes and variability from micro- to global scale and from short-term to climate timescale. All compartments of the Earth system, such as the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, land surface, and terrestrial and marine ecosystems will be discussed.
Deadline for registration: 15 January 2026

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has opened registration for experts to serve as Expert Reviewers for the First-Order Draft (FOD) of the Special Report on Climate Change and Cities (SRCities). This upcoming report, part of the IPCC’s 7th Assessment Cycle (AR7), aims to deepen understanding of how cities can mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Join this informational webinar to learn how Asia-Pacific urban experts can actively contribute to the global review process. IPCC Co-Chairs, Prof. Joy Jacqueline Pereira and Prof. Winston Chow, will discuss the review process, the role of expert reviewers, and ways in which urban specialists can share insights that shape the final report.
This workshop organized by the National Academies will convene participants from across the Earth observations community to exchange ideas on enhancing coordination, collaboration, and governance mechanisms to support a more robust ecosystem for the creation, curation, and operation of Earth observations and associated tools. In particular, the workshop will explore the respective roles of the public sector, for-profit and not-for-profit private sectors, philanthropy, and academia in developing strategies for addressing challenges and opportunities for resilient Earth observations and data across the growing breadth of Earth observation providers, data, applications, and users.
Among the subjects the workshop may consider are:
- Legal, institutional, and practical factors across sectors that either facilitate or impede effective coordination and partnerships;
- Strategies for transparent and strategic decision-making in the collection, stewardship, and governance of Earth observations; and
- Innovative approaches to data sharing that promote productive engagement and interoperability among diverse stakeholders.
Following on from the highly successful previous conferences WCO, WCO2, WCO3 and WCO4, the 5th Workshop on Convective Organization (WCO5) will examine our present knowledge of convective organization in models and observations.
Sessions and central meeting themes:
- Extreme precipitation events
- Convective organization over land
- Organization of convection on global k-scale models
- Artificial intelligence applied to convective organization
- Cold-pool driven convective organization
- Shallow and congestus convective organization (over ocean and land)
- Convective organization feedback on climate
- Convective organization and tropical waves

Summer School on Runoff Predictions in Ungauged Basins
Dates: 22–26 June 2026
Location: Vienna, Austria
Application Deadline: 1 May 2026
This summer school is devoted to runoff prediction in ungauged basins (PUB), i.e., predicting water runoff at locations where no runoff data are available. This lack of data presents considerable challenges to catchment managers who require information on water flows for decision making. This course will provide hydrologists with the theory and methods to address this critical challenge.
Masters and Ph.D. students researching catchment hydrology and practicing hydrologists who are challenged by making predictions in the absence of runoff data are invited to apply.
