ESA Calls for Projects: Interfacing the climate observations and modelling communities
Tender Action Number: 1-12469
Submission Deadline: 31 October 2024 (extended)
A new call for project proposals from European Space Agency (ESA) aims to address priority issues in climate modelling science that benefit from the use of satellite-based Essential Climate Variables (ECVs).
The new activity, called Interfacing the climate observations and modelling communities [Tender Action Number: 1-12469], intends to fund R&D projects to facilitate uptake, and improve the exploitation, of satellite-based ECVs in climate modelling context.
The new procurement will focus on the use of Essential Climate Variables data products developed in the context of the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI). Spanning land-atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere domains these data products have potential to improve aspects of climate modelling, such as model benchmarking, assimilation, reanalysis, initialisation, the development of climate services, and to constrain key processes within the Earth’s energy, water and carbon cycles.
AWRA 2025 Spring Conference: Development Risks & Challenges in Changing Climate Conditions
Dates: 28–30 April 2025
Location: Marriott Anchorage Downtown, Anchorage, AK, USA
Abstract Submission Deadline: 14 October 2024 extended
The American Water Resources Association (AWRA) 2025 Spring Conference: Development Risks & Challenges in Changing Climate Conditions is co-hosted with the AWRA Alaska State Section. The main object of the conference is for participants to connect and contribute to important conversations about impacts to the cultural and socioeconomic health of the planet and all life as we know it related to water and changing climate conditions. Climate change is increasingly causing severe weather events, changes in weather patterns and altering hydrologic cycles. These increasing uncertainties are posing significant risks to current and future development.
GEWEX Session
Topical Session C – A Broad-Based Community Approach to Modeling, Observations, and Prediction of Water Resources Across Climate Timescales over the continental United States
Conveners: Jeff Basara, Erin Urqhuart and Peter van Oevelen
Session Description:
The Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) core project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is developing a so-called Regional Hydroclimate Project (H2US) over the continental US to bring the observational, modeling, and social science communities together to advance the state of the science and our predictive capabilities to better characterize the water, energy, and carbon cycles. Submissions are invited that explore co-design, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to water cycle science for a better understanding and quantification of water resources now and in the future. Especially relevant are papers that explore ways to evaluate, improve and integrate existing surface observational networks across regional to continental scales, in the context of terrestrial-based and spaceborne remote sensing, to support of Earth system modeling of the water-cycle, and regional, national and global operational weather and hydroclimate monitoring and modelling efforts. An outcome of this work is envisioned as a ‘Digital Earth’ representation of the water cycle over the US to better support the water resources community.
Dates: 23–27 June 2025
Location: Vienna, Austria
Abstract Submission Deadline: 1 December 2024
Held every three years, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Living Planet Symposia are among the world’s premier events on Earth observation. With the climate crisis intensifying, the Living Planet Symposium 2025 (LPS25) emphasizes transitioning from ‘observation to climate action and sustainability for Earth’.
The event provides a forum to present and discuss the latest scientific findings and applications based on satellite data, and to review the contribution that data and technologies have made and could further make in addressing environmental and societal challenges. The symposium will showcase innovative products, services, missions and initiatives, with the overarching goal of demonstrating how science, society, policy-making, businesses and the economy can all benefit from observations made from space.
GEWEX is co-organizing various sessions:
A.01.09 Atmospheric 3D Winds for Weather and Climate
A.05.11 Next generation cloud climatology
A.07.07 Advancements in Observation of Physical Snow Parameters
A.07.08 Global and regional water cycle in the integrated human-Earth system
For the description of these sessions, please see https://lps25.esa.int/sessions/
Dates: 5–7 February 2025
Location: Minorca, Spain
Abstract Submission Deadline: 16 December 2024
The “Water Resources Under Pressure: Observation and Modelling for Water Management in a Context of Global Change” conference will serve as an essential platform to discuss, from a multidisciplinary perspective, the latest advances in climatology in the service of water management, in the observation and modeling techniques of human and climate impacts on the water cycle, and the management of water resources in order to address these current challenges in the context of global change.
Researchers and specialists in different fields of knowledge (physics, space sciences, earth sciences, and social sciences) are encouraged to submit contributions to one of the three sessions:
- Quantification of the human impact on the water cycle
Keynote Speaker: TBD - Impacts of climate change on the water cycle
Keynote Speaker: Santiago Beguería (EEAD-CSIC) - Water management in the context of increased human pressure and climate change
Keynote Speaker: Francesc Gallart (IDAEA-CSIC)
Please submit your proposals by December 16, 2024. For more information on the submission process and guidelines, please visit the website: https://tcm.ime.cat.
Special Issue for the 5th Baltic Earth Conference
Journal: Frontiers in Earth Science
Research Topic: New Challenges for Baltic Sea Earth System Research
Deadlines:
Manuscript Summary Submission: 10 December 2024 and,
Manuscript Submission: 30 March 2025
The Baltic Sea is an intracontinental marginal sea in Northern Europe, with particular properties which set it apart from most other marginal seas and coastal regions, such as its pronounced salinity dynamics and unique biogeochemical features. But at the same time, it has been one of the best observed and modeled marine and coastal regions in the world and it can serve as an example and provide case studies for other heavily populated coastal regions worldwide.
The Research Topic is rooted in the 5th Baltic Earth Conference in Jurmala, Latvia, 13-17 May 2024, inciting “New Challenges for Baltic Sea Earth System Research”. Contributions from the conference but also welcome manuscripts from other coastal sea regions worldwide related to:
- Biogeochemistry of the Baltic Sea
- Natural hazards and extreme events
- Sea level dynamics, sediment dynamics, coastal processes and impacts on coasts
- Human impacts, interactions and management options
- Modeling past and future climate changes and teleconnections
- Small scale processes not yet resolved and their impact on the large scale dynamics and patterns
- Comparing marginal seas worldwide
- Philosophical aspects of Baltic Sea Earth system research
