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.
Detailed information and registration is available on the official meeting website at https://care.hkust.edu.hk/CPCMWorkshop2025.
The Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ISAC) and the University of Naples “Parthenope”, with the technical support from Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) are delighted to announce the 2nd International School on Satellite Meteorology (ISSM).

Webinar: The “Earthing” of Weather and Climate Processes: New Studies of Land-Atmosphere Feedback
Speaker: Dr. Volker Wulfmeyer from Institute of Physics and Meteorology University of Hohenheim Stuttgart Germany.
Date & Time: April 1st, 2025, 15:00 UTC
The WCRP Digital Earths Lighthouse Activity will push the co-development of high-resolution Earth-system modeling and the exploitation of billions of observations with digital technologies from the convergence of novel High-Performance Computing (HPC), big data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies.
This webinar series will:
- maintain regular and open dialogue between researchers active in the field of developing and evaluating models of the climate system at ultra-high resolution (i.e. km-scale) on global to regional scales for weather, climate and environmental hazard prediction
- showcase research progress, share insights on barriers to progress, and grow understanding on the relative costs and benefits compared with relevant established modelling approaches
- enable horizon scanning of new opportunities to integrate research with new observations, methods in physical modelling and data science, and new technologies
