WCRP Open Science Conference 2023 – Advancing Climate Science for a sustainable future
Dates: 23 – 27 October 2023
Location: Kigali Convention Centre, Kigali, Rwanda
Abstract Submission: 1 December 2022 – 28 February 2023
The following themes will be covered during the conference:
Theme 1: Advances in Climate Research
Theme leads: Regina Rodrigues, Rowan Sutton, Orli Lachmy
Showcasing progress and future challenges in understanding Earth’s climate system, and advances in climate science capacity around the world. Sessions will cover, inter alia, climate processes; gaps identified by IPCC; energy, water and carbon cycles; climate modelling, observations and model-data fusion.
Theme 2: Human Interactions with Climate
Theme leads: Lisa Alexander, Pierre Friedlingstein, Izidine Pinto
Analyzing key drivers and impacts of climate change (past, current and future), identifying risks to human and ecosystem health. Sessions will cover, inter alia, climate extremes and associated risks and impacts; water availability, food, ecosystems, health and cities in a changing climate.
Theme 3: Co-produced Climate Services and Solutions
Theme leads: Cathy Vaughan, Bruce Hewitson, Mouhamadou Bamba Sylla
Connecting scientific knowledge, planning, decision-making and policy processes. Sessions will cover, inter alia, near-term regional and climate change information for adaptation and mitigation; climate scenarios; climate intervention research.
Earth Energy Imbalance Assessment Workshop
Dates: 15–18 May 2023
Location: ESA-ESRIN, Frascati (Rome), Italy
Abstract Submission Deadline: 24 February 2023
The aim of the workshop is to engage a wide community with expertise in radiometric remote sensing, satellite altimetry, space gravimetry, ocean in situ measurements and ocean reanalysis to assess and intercompare estimates of Earth’s energy imbalance and their time variability and uncertainties.
Topics addressed during the workshop include:
Tropospheric lapse rate: observations and modeling of past, present and future variations
Dates: 6–7 July 2023
Location: Sorbonne University, Paris, France
Abstract Submission Deadline: 31 March 2023
The tropospheric lapse rate is the gradient of temperature though the troposphere. In tropical and subtropical regions, it plays a key role in the climate, through its impact on the large-scale circulation and on convection.
This workshop invites abstracts presenting studies on the tropospheric temperature lapse rate in tropical and subtropical regions, including observational, modeling or theoretical studies on:
Special Issue “Remote Sensing Applications in Wildfire Research and Management”
Editor(s):
Dr. Dong Chen, Dr. Maria Zubkova, Dr. Joanne Hall and Dr. Michael Humber
Submission deadline: 31 March 2023
This Special Issue aims to collect some of the recent accomplishments with regional and global fire-related, remotely sensed data products with the hope to inspire further development of fire-related remote sensing methodologies. These works can include developments related to remote-sensing-derived fire products as well as developments in the estimation and understanding of how fire interacts with other variables at the landscape scale, such as fuel build-up, fuel post-fire succession, fire regimes, and vegetation type.
Special Issue “Atmospheric Rivers from Modeling and Remote Sensing”
Editor(s):
Dr. Sante Laviola, Dr. Francesco Chiaravalloti, Dr. Annalina Lombardi, Dr. Barbara Tomassetti
Submission deadline: 31 March 2023
This Special Issue aims to improve the knowledge of Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) through the publication of groundbreaking papers that focus on innovative and original approaches to research; an example is an evaluation of the effects of AR-forced rainfall on small–medium-sized hydrological basins. The improvement of detection techniques through satellite and numerical models can better quantify the spatio-temporal distribution of rainfall in drainage networks by evaluating the response of hydrographic basins to local effects due to the severity of an events.
Submitted articles may address, but are not limited to, the following scientific topics:
