The WCRP Digital Earths Lighthouse Activity and Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Core Project are jointly convening a workshop to bring together all relevant communities interested in ultra-high-resolution modelling.

The workshop is planned to be in person from October 3-7, 2022 at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, CO, U.S.A. Public health regulations permitting.

This workshop is motivated by the urgent need for improved climate information and the major advantages and scientific potential of ultra-high-resolution climate modeling.

This workshop aims to:

• Bring very high-resolution modellers of different communities (atmosphere, ocean, land, ice but also global and regional) and sub-components (physics and diagnostics) together
• Raise awareness of scientific and computational issues faced by the various communities when moving to ultra-high-resolution
• Discuss the applications and use of ultra-high resolution global models by identifying things that we already know do not work or that we anticipate not to work
• Share current progress in simulating various spheres at ultra-high-resolution and in coupling them
• Identify key challenges and joint community tasks that can be achieved within one- to two-years

The intended outcomes include the establishment of a global research network with expertise in ultra-high-resolution (kilometer-scale or finer) global and regional Earth system modelling including its individual components. The workshop outcomes will be documented in a white paper.

UPDATE: The NISAR Science Community Workshop was originally schedule for 19-21 April, 2022, but was postponed. The event will now be held August 30 - September 1, 2022.

The NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Science Workshop will be an in-person event organized by NASA and UNAVCO to bring together the science community in solid earth, ecosystems, cryosphere, hydro-geodesy and other areas of science that will benefit from the NISAR mission.

With launch planned in late 2023, NISAR will be the first radar of its kind in space to map Earth using two different frequencies (L-band and S-band). Its systematic mapping will provide consistent time series observation of our planet’s surface deformation and changes.

This 2.5 day workshop will inform the community about the upcoming mission, its planned science data products and upcoming funding opportunities to work on NISAR related science. Breakout sessions, poster sessions and plenary science talks provide a forum for building collaborations and discussing future directions for SAR data analysis, science and applications. The program will also include information on available data analysis tools, computing resources and training opportunities.

Registration is open through 15 July 2022.

The organizers invite the ice-core and climate research community to join a 3-day symposium in Copenhagen, hosted by the Ice and Climate Research Group at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen.

Willi Dansgaard (1922 – 2011) was a pioneer of isotope glaciology and ice-core-based climate research. The climate agenda makes his research contributions more relevant today than ever, and ice cores remain pivotal for understanding the climate system.

The symposium consists of two parts:

• A scientific symposium on Monday and Wednesday in the classic conference style with scientific presentations by both invited keynote speakers and participants selected based on submitted abstracts. The organizers particularly welcome contributions within Willi Dansgaard's work areas: climate reconstructions by isotope measurements, ice-flow modelling and dating, and the study of abrupt climate change.
• A symposium with dual focus on Willi Dansgaard’s life and work, and highlights of recent climate research takes up the Tuesday, Willi Dansgaard’s birthday. In the afternoon, the organizers will conclude with a formal celebration session with invited participants from the Royal Family, the Danish and Greenlandic political system, university leadership, research foundations, and Willi Dansgaard’s family, friends, and colleagues, followed by a reception and dinner.

Registration and abstract deadline: 5 August 2022.

The international conference in arctic fox biology is the most important meeting point for arctic fox researchers, conservation managers, policy makers, tour operators, students and any other people interested in arctic foxes and its arctic habitats and ecosystems. It has for a long time been a tradition that end-users of environmental research, i.e. various stakeholders and management authorities participate at these conferences.

Since 1991, circumpolar arctic fox biologists have established a network which has previously arranged five international conferences in arctic fox biology. The conferences took place in Sweden in 1991 and 2009, in the UK in 2001, in Iceland in 2013 and in Canada in 2017. The now upcoming conference will for the first time be arranged by Norway, through the Norwegian Polar Institute, in Longyearbyen, Svalbard.

The 6th international conference in arctic fox biology will be held at the Svalbard Research Park, University Studies in Svalbard (UNIS)/Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI).

The conference will be arranged as a hybrid conference. A hybrid conference will combine live in-person events for those able to travel to Svalbard with streamed talks and online discussions including also those unable to travel. Regarding travelling to Svalbard follow this link with updated information about Covid-19.

For everyone who have already signed up for the conference that was scheduled to be held in 2021, which now has been postponed to 2022 because of COVID-19, have to register again. There will be an opening for registration in January 2022.

NASA's National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) recently launched a new website with the same information about cryospheric datasets, services, and tools plus some new features to make it easier for data users to explore, discover, and access NASA’s snow and ice data. Whatever your scientific discipline of interest, NSIDC may have open data that are relevant to your research. Why? The cryosphere is a global system stretching from the Arctic to the Antarctic and includes all the snow, ice, and other frozen regions across the planet. These frozen parts of Earth are important components of the global climate system and provide fresh water and other ecosystem services to people, plants, and animals.

Join NSIDC experts for an interactive walk-through of enhanced data product landing pages, new user resources, featured data visualization tools, and a Jupyter Notebook tutorial on how to programmatically access cryospheric data at NSIDC.

Registration is required to join this event.
