Event name
Institution / Organization
2022/07/18 - 2022/07/29 Train the next generation of compound event researchers in the modelling of compound events. Modelling of compound events requires knowledge on many different drivers and approaches. The school will be a mixture of lectures and project work. The lectures will cover a range of topics including: Introduction to Modelling; Regional Climate Modelling; Event Attribution and several lectures on Impact Modelling.
Workshop
DAMOCLES Training School on Compound Events
Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem, Hungary
2021/10/13 - 2021/10/21 Explore the social dynamics shaping wildfires and its consequences in contemporary societies, and how social sciences are relevant to successfully achieve Integrated Fire Management. Participants will gain insight into the social perspective of fires to help them build stronger interdisciplinary PhD projects.
Workshop
Pyrolife TE2 - Understanding fire human dimensions and planning
Fundación de Ecología del Fuego y Gestión de Incendios Pau Costa Alcubierre, Spain
2021/09/22 - 2021/09/24 Document current research, identify challenges, and explore potential pathways towards building an operational capability to attribute multi-annual to decadal changes in the climate system on global-to-regional scales.
Conference
WCRP workshop on attribution of multi-annual to decadal changes in the climate system
World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), Switzerland
2020/11/24 - 2020/12/09 Promote collaborative activities and networking in the SAM/CAM regions with focus on specific regional climate phenomena. In this context, a virtual workshop on paper-writing is proposed with the aim of enhancing the capacity of PhD students and early career researchers in designing a research topic on regional climate modeling and documenting/writing the scientific results.
Workshop
CORDEX Central America and South America Online Paper-Writing Workshop on Regional Climate Modeling
World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), Switzerland
2017/10/13 - 2017/10/17 The main objective of this C-CASCADES Training Workshop is to achieve a better understanding of the biogeochemical modules (land and ocean) from an Earth System Model (ESM). In order to achieve this, the workshop included expert lectures and practical sessions about the ocean model NEMO-PISCES and the land-surface model ORCHIDEE.
Workshop
C-CASCADES TW2 - Regional to global modelling
Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique - Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (CNRS-IPSL), France
2017/07/03 - 2017/07/07 This TW provides an introduction to and practical hands-on learning in Earth System Modelling (ESM). It will provide a chance to explore the dynamics of the Earth's climate system, global carbon cycling and the biogeochemical impacts of CO2 emissions in the context of past (and future) climate events.
Workshop
C-CASCADES TW4 - Diagenic models and earth system models of intermediate complexity
