Meetings of Interest

The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility will co-host a student workshop with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), and a consortium of Australian universities from February 2 to 7, 2025, in Tasmania, Australia. The workshop will focus on open science around ARM’s ongoing Cloud And Precipitation Experiment at kennaook (CAPE-k).

The student workshop is free to accepted applicants, and ARM will sponsor attendance for a few participants.

The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)/Atmospheric System Research (ASR) Joint User Facility/Principal Investigator Meeting will be held March 3 to 6, 2025, at the Rockville Hilton Hotel and Executive Meeting Center in Rockville, Maryland, and online.

This meeting will bring together over 300 ASR researchers, ARM users, and ARM infrastructure staff to review progress and discuss scientific priorities for ASR research and the ARM user facility.

The 2025 meeting will be a hybrid meeting. Plenary and breakout sessions will be hybrid, while poster sessions will be in person only. Remote attendees will be able to listen to and present remotely in the plenary and breakout sessions. While remote attendees may submit electronic posters for viewing on the website, there will not be dedicated virtual poster sessions.

A registration fee will be required for both in-person and remote attendees. The registration fee is necessary to cover meeting costs including the additional A/V costs required for hybrid meetings.

While the agenda is still under development, expect general meeting sessions to run from 8:30 a.m. ET on Monday, March 3, through 1 p.m. ET on Thursday, March 6.

The tenth annual HBCU Climate Change Conference will take place March 5 to 9, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The purpose of the conference is to bring together HBCU faculty and students, researchers, climate professionals and environmental justice and coastal community residents impacted by toxic facilities and severe weather events related to climate change in order to bridge the gap between theory and the experiential realities of climate change. The conference will address issues related to climate justice, adaptation, community resilience, global climate issues, and other major climate change topics (i.e. transportation, energy sources, carbon emissions, green jobs/green economy, just transition, and community economic development).

Student abstracts are now being accepted for oral and poster presentations for the 2025 conference. Each year, student attendees have an opportunity to present their research as well as interact with environmental experts and community members experiencing environmental exposure and negative impacts of climate change.

The EGU General Assembly 2025 brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.

The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility will host an open science-focused summer school Monday, May 19, to Friday, May 23, 2025, at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

The “Open Science in the Forest Summer School: Connecting State-of-the-Art Models with Diverse Field Campaign Observations” is geared toward students from undergraduates to postdoctoral scholars. Planned activities include instructional talks, tutorials, and mentored hackathon sessions for attendees to work with ARM data and open-source software.

The overarching mission of the summer school is to enhance the scientific impact of ARM observations through the instruction of students in new techniques to gain insight into atmospheric processes using open science tools.

Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) was established in 2003 to promote geosciences and its application for the benefit of humanity, specifically in Asia and Oceania and with an overarching approach to global issues.  AOGS holds annual conventions providing a unique opportunity of exchanging scientific knowledge and discussion to address important geo-scientific issues among academia, research institution and public. Recognizing the need of global collaboration, AOGS has developed good co-operation with other international geo-science societies and unions such as the European Geosciences Union (EGU), American Geophysical Union (AGU), International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), Japan Geo-science Union (JpGU), and Science Council of Asia (SCA).

The upcoming annual meeting will be held in-person at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.
