Forecasters routinely monitor total precipitable water (TPW) in the atmosphere via the NOAA operational blended TPW product. A new Advected Layer Precipitable Water (ALPW) product provides a vertical dimension and depicts long-fetch flows of moisture which enhance flood events. How these products are generated will be explained, and typical forecast uses including in the Alaska region will be presented. Upcoming improvements to these products will be discussed.

Due to the uncertainty of Covid-19 situation, we have decided to postpone the “2nd Edition of World Congress on Geology & Earth Science” from July to November 12-14, 2020 at Osaka, Japan.

The decision has been taken in the interests of public safety and to help prevent the spread of the virus.

GeoEarth-2020 welcomes colleagues from all branches of Geosciences and from many countries in the world to disseminate their valuable work.

Human migration is projected as one of the greatest adverse impacts of climate change with future flows of climate migrants, also referred to as climate refugees, predicted at 200 million by 2050 (IPCC 2006).To address this intense and complex climate change impact, the Belmont Forum is excited to announce the scoping of a new international funding opportunity focused on Migration and Climate Change. We invite you to participate in a special online meeting to share your expert perspective of the state of the science as it relates to research and societal needs in Migration. We will ultimately incorporate your input into the development of research themes for an international call for proposals. Participation in this event does not make you ineligible to submit a proposal once the call is finalized and released.

The scoping meeting will be held online on July 10, 2020 at 11am UTC using a government-secured Zoom license to bring together stakeholders from multiple disciplines interested in Migration on various scales. Since Migration and Climate Change is a multifaceted issue, it would benefit from the collaboration of many knowledge types and international resource partners with diverse perspectives. Thus, the term stakeholder is used in its broadest sense as it includes communities, policymakers, business and industry, unionized bodies, tribal organizations, NGOs and many others. Accordingly, this meeting is the perfect opportunity to co-design a funding call based on the collection of adept input.

In 2016, the National Science Foundation (NSF) unveiled a set of “Big Ideas,” 10 bold, long-term research and process ideas that identify areas for future investment at the frontiers of science and engineering (see https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/index.jsp). The Big Ideas represent unique opportunities to position our Nation at the cutting edge of global science and engineering leadership by bringing together diverse disciplinary perspectives to support convergence research. As such, when responding to this solicitation, even though proposals must be submitted to GEO/OPP, once received, the proposals will be managed by a cross-disciplinary team of NSF Program Directors.

NSF invites proposals to establish a Navigating the New Arctic Community Office (NNA-CO). Launched in 2016, NNA has been building a growing portfolio of research and planning grants at the intersection of the built, social, and natural environments to improve understanding of Arctic change and its local and global effects. Each NNA-funded project is responsible for its own performance, including its core research and broader impacts. However, an NNA community office is required to coordinate the activities of funded NNA projects; engage new PIs; and promote research, education, and outreach activities. The NNA-CO will also provide centralized representation of ongoing NNA activities to the broader scientific community and the public. The lead PI of the successful NNA-CO proposal will serve as the Office Director and will work with the research community to develop and implement appropriate communication networks and support for investigators, stakeholders, and research teams pursuing NNA research. NNA research is inherently convergent, seeking new knowledge at the intersection of the natural, built, and social environments. NNA research also inherently involves diverse stakeholders, from local to international. The NNA-CO will need to demonstrate the ability to work with these types of research teams and audiences.

Changes in the timing of the seasons in Alaska influences our wild berry flowering, pollination, ripening and fruit dispersal (including by us berry pickers). Dr. Katie Spellman and Dr. Christa Mulder will discuss the ongoing research by the UAF International Arctic Research Center and Institute of Arctic Biology that explores how earlier springs, warmer summers and wetter falls influence our amazing Alaska berries throughout their life cycles. Learn how public participation in this scientific research is helping improve our knowledge of ways berries are changing across our state.

NEWS April 6th, 2020:
The organizing team is following closely the global development of COVID-19. At the moment, the meeting is NOT CANCELLED. We will keep the PALSEA community informed through the mailing list. At the moment, we invite potential attendees NOT TO MAKE ANY TRAVEL PLANS until we confirm the meeting dates.

The PalSea Meeting will take place 14-16 September, 2020 at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in New York.

This meeting will focus on developing a better understanding of the physical processes that drive ice sheet collapse and solid earth deformation. These processes are highly uncertain due to a lack of observational constraints, yet they are the dominant drivers for local sea level change. Overcoming this uncertainty requires drawing from observations and expertise from a variety of fields complementary to PALSEA and SERCE including rheology, hydrology, glaciology, and geodesy. In this meeting, we aim to bring empiricists and modelers from the sea level and ice sheet communities together in order to unify solid Earth deformation and ice sheet evolution across time and spatial scales. Pairing our improved understanding of physical processes with enhanced paleo datasets will allow us to narrow in on ice sheet contributions to past sea level rise.

The first day of the meeting will be dedicated to better understanding past sea level, solid Earth deformation, and the glacial isostatic adjustment process. The second day will be dedicated to presentations addressing cutting-edge constraints on paleo ice sheets including ice sheet modeling and ice margin constraints. During the third day of the meeting we will address data stewardship in the sea level modeling community in breakout groups. In particular we will (1) try to establish best practices for the documentation, distribution, and citation of numerical code, (2) review what benchmarking across different 1D and 3D GIA codes exist and / or should be done, and (3) understand how ice and sea level model output should be made available to the community (what format, what platform).

Abstract submission is now online. Please submit your abstract through this form. Abstract submission will close July 1st 2020. Registration will open later and will close August 10th 2020.
