Meetings of Interest

The 9th Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) Open Science Conference, Water Climate, is organized under the auspices of the GEWEX core project of the World Climate Research Programme together with Hokkaido University and Science Council of Japan. The conference will take place from 7 to 12 July 2024 at the Keio Plaza Hotel in Sapporo, Japan.

The conference will celebrate 30+ years of GEWEX research, the strong role of the Japanese research community and set the stage for the next phase of research addressing the World Climate Research Programme main challenges on water resources, extremes and climate sensitivity through observations and data sets, their analyses, process studies, model development and exploitation, applications, technology transfer to operational use, and research capacity development and training for the next generation of scientists worldwide.

The 19th International Conference on Clouds and Precipitation (ICCP) will be held from July 14 to 19, 2024, in Jeju, South Korea. We welcome presentations on a broad spectrum of topics in clouds and precipitation, including, but not limited to, cloud and precipitation physics, aerosol and cloud chemistry, cloud dynamics, and cloud electrification.

Additionally, there will be three workshops held prior to the conference, and one short course held afterward:

• Cloud Modeling Workshop (July 11  to 12, at Yonsei University in Seoul)
• Cloud Probe Workshop (July 12 to 13, at the National Institute of Meteorological Sciences (NIMS) in Jeju)
• Cloud Chamber Workshop (July 13 to 14, at NIMS in Jeju)
• Short Course on Radar and Cloud Physics (July 20, at NIMS in Jeju)

Oak Ridge National Laboratory will host the second US QIS Summer School facilitated by the US Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Centers from July 15 to 26, 2024.

The summer school is an in-residence learning experience for outstanding graduate and undergraduate students and early-career scientists seeking hands-on experience with quantum science and technology in a laboratory setting. The curriculum will be taught at a graduate level.

Curriculum Topics:

• Topological approaches to quantum computing
• Cold atoms and ion traps
• Error mitigation and error correction
• The current state of the quantum information science field
• Applications of quantum technologies, quantum materials, and quantum sensing

The 21st Conference on Mountain Meteorology, taking place July 22 to 26, 2024 in Boise, Idaho, is hosted by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the Committee on Mountain Meteorology. The Committee serves as a nexus for those matters relevant to the meteorological community that are fundamentally affected by complex terrain.

Learn about the U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM), the process behind it and how you can contribute at a virtual workshop from 10 a.m. to noon Eastern time on August 14.

During the workshop, you will learn:
●More about the USDM process
●How you can contribute
●What programs the USDM triggers
●How state assessment teams can
coordinate input to the USDM
authors.

This workshop is presented by the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC), which is the academic partner and web host of the USDM and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Northeast Climate Hub. The USDM is a joint product of the NDMC, the USDA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Join us for the 2024 Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) User Meeting focusing on “Atmospheric Processing of Terrestrial, Coastal, and Anthropogenic Aerosols.”

This engaging, three-day meeting includes keynote speakers, contributor talks, flash talks, tutorials, and poster sessions encompassing the following topics:

• Aerosol interactions with terrestrial and coastal biogeochemistry and human systems
• Atmospheric aerosol processes
  (including emissions, atmospheric aging, cloud condensation nuclei/ice nucleating particles activation, and heterogeneous chemistry processes)
• Opportunities for joint EMSL-ARM aerosol research, with a focus on the Southeast U.S. Bankhead National Forest atmospheric observatory in Alabama

The meeting will be held at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington, and online.

The American Association of Aerosol Research (AAAR) 42nd Annual Conference is scheduled for October 21-25, 2024, at the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Every year the AAAR annual conference provides the opportunity to showcase the latest research in aerosol science and technology and to connect with friends and colleagues throughout the event.

The Quantifying the Indirect Effect: from Sources to Climate Effects of Natural and Transported aerosol in the Arctic (QuIESCENT) workshop aims to gather polar atmospheric and marine scientists, experimentalists and modelers, physicists and chemists, to exchange knowledge and work together to establish a coordinated plan on how to address critical research questions related to the relative role of anthropogenic air pollution vs the role of marine aerosols in the Arctic cloud lifecycle. Apart from the Arctic scientific community, participation by Antarctic and Southern Ocean scientists is strongly encouraged to provide insights to the aerosol-cloud-precipitation processes that govern the Southern counterpart. In the spirit of the first two QuIESCENT workshops, participation by early career scientists is strongly encouraged.

The QuIESCENT Arctic Workshop will take place as a hybrid event at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The US CLIVAR Micro2Macro workshop will develop the foundation of a new framework to confront and evaluate climate models using observations to improve our process-based understanding and strategically reduce climate projection uncertainty. Workshop themes will include:

• Identifying key structural model differences that cause cascading uncertainties from microphysical processes to macrophysical cloud properties and climate change
• Evaluating the scale mismatch between in-situ observations, remotely sensed microphysical properties, and macrophysical climate properties
• Quantifying and constraining the effects of microphysical process uncertainty on climate projection uncertainty
• Investigating connections between modeling and observations of aerosol, clouds and precipitation across the globe

The workshop will be held in Laramie, Wyoming from October 28 to 30 and will include a virtual attendance option to allow for broader participation.

Registration and important deadline information to be announced.

For over 50 years, SACNAS has served as an inclusive organization dedicated to fostering the success of Chicano/Hispanics & Native Americans, from college students to professionals, in attaining advanced degrees, careers, and positions of leadership within STEM.

NDiSTEM is the largest multidisciplinary and multicultural STEM diversity event in the country, a true celebration of science, culture, and community that serves, equips, and energizes participants for their academic and professional paths in STEM. Over the course of the event, college-level through professional attendees are immersed in STEM research, professional development sessions, motivational keynote speakers, a Graduate School & Career Expo Hall, multicultural celebrations and traditions, and an inclusive and welcoming community of peers, mentors, and role models. Simply put, the NDiSTEM Conference is a broadly inclusive space where you are invited to bring your whole self to STEM.

Each year, the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) fall meeting, the largest gathering of Earth and space scientists, convenes 25,000+ attendees from 100+ countries to share research and connect with friends and colleagues. Scientists, educators, policymakers, journalists and communicators attend AGU24 to better understand our planet and environment, opening pathways to discovery, opening greater awareness to address climate change, opening greater collaborations to lead to solutions and opening the fields and professions of science to a whole new age of justice equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging.

This December, AGU24 returns to Washington, D.C. with the theme “What’s Next for Science.”

The 105^th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting will take place from 12 to 16 January 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The theme of this year’s meeting is “Towards a Thriving Planet: Charting the Course Across Scales.”

Please note that there will not be a Joint ARM User Facility/ASR Principal Investigators Meeting in 2024.

Location information for the 2025 meeting still to come.
