2019 ESSM Community Workshop: “Climate Research to Enhance Resilience to Extreme Heat”
Date: 18 – 19 November 2019
Location: DoubleTree by Hilton, Silver Spring (MD), USA
Abstract submission Deadline: 4 October 2019
Registration Deadline: 26 October 2019
Workshop purpose
This years workshop of the NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO) Earth System Science and Modeling (ESSM) Division will focus on extreme heat, one of the climate risk areas, to facilitate in-depth discussions. The workshop will focus on the following questions:
Lightning Talks
A number of abstracts will be selected by the organizing committee for lightning presentations during the meeting. Lightning talks may be supplemented by peer-reviewed papers references.
Call for a new US CLIVAR-sponsored working group
Submission Deadline: 11 October 2019
The US CLIVAR program annually establishes new limited-lifetime, action-oriented WGs of scientists (12-18members) to coordinate and implement focused activities for the benefit of the scientific community. A major aim of the WGs is to expedite coordinated efforts towards specific scientific activities and objectives, for example: assessing existing or developing new data and modeling products and capabilities, leading community-wide analyses or syntheses of current state of understanding, and/or developing scientific and implementation recommendations on specific subjects for further consideration by US CLIVAR Panels and supporting agencies. Furthermore, WGs should foster wider support of and participation in activities addressing critical scientific challenges and/or CLIVAR needs. WGs may also serve to facilitate joint activities between US CLIVAR and other national and/or international programs.
Request for Expressions of Interest on Problems in Climate Modeling
Invitations to submit proposals Deadline: 15 October 2019
Full Proposals Deadline: 1 December 2019
The Virtual Earth System Research Institute (VESRI) is a new initiative supported by Schmidt Futures to find and fund transformational research in Earth System Sciences. VESRI is seeking expressions of interest (EOIs) targeting areas of climate research which are primed to take advantage of the current rapid evolution of computational technology, and potentially, observing platforms. VESRI is specifically looking for research that could radically improve climate modeling and uses advances in observations and computational science to target current weaknesses in climate models.
4th Digital Belt and Road Conference (DBAR 2019)
Dates: 17 – 19 December 2019
Location: St.Helen Bauhinia, Shenzhen Bauhinia, China
Abstract Submission Deadline: 18 October 2019
Digital Belt and Road Program (DBAR) is an international science program for the sustainable development of the Belt and Road Region using Big Earth Data. DBAR advocates for the integration of Big Earth Data applications in the design, planning and monitoring of different aspects of human activities.
Themes of the 4th DBAR Conference:
Dates: 6-8 July 2020
Location: Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
Abstract Submission Deadline: 30 October 2019
Submissions should relate to one of the conference streams – InterMET, InterFLOOD or InterAIR – and address one or more of the topics relevant to that stream as detailed below.
InterMET Asia
The conference will enable delegates to learn about innovations in the use of meteorological & hydrological data and related information to (a) improve economic and business efficiency on a routine basis, and (b) to mitigate, manage, and provide early warning of the impacts of extreme weather & climate change on public and private enterprises, essential services and critical infrastructure.
InterFLOOD Asia
The conference will enable delegates to learn about the innovations in thinking, funding, technology and design of critical infrastructure, systems and processes to manage and mitigate, and build resilience and adaptability to weather and climate change-related flood events.
InterAIR Asia
The conference will enable delegates to understand the health related and other economic impacts of air pollution and to learn of the latest developments in air quality & pollution monitoring technologies and alerting systems.
Joint Workshop Sessions
The Joint Workshop Sessions will highlight areas of shared opportunity as follows:
Asia-Pacific Network (APN) for Global Change Research: Funding opportunities
Proposals submission deadline: 10 November 2019
The APN invites proposals under the Collaborative Regional Research Programme (CRRP) and the Capacity Development Programme (CAPaBLE) for funding from September 2020. A limited amount of financial support is available for regional research and capacity development activities that fall within its areas of interest.
High Priority Topics for Funding
APN invites trans- and interdisciplinary research and capacity development proposals that reflect the following themes:
