WCRP is proud of our leaders pursuing Grand Science Challenges across the range of research sectors. A session at the 2017 Joint IAPSO-IAMAS-IAGA Assembly (27 August to 1 September 2017, in Cape Town) will bring together the WCRP Grand Challenge on Understanding and Predicting Weather and Climate Extremes, the HiWeather Project of the WMO World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) and others interested in understanding and predicting weather and climate extremes. The International Association of...
We share an interesting article about plagerism published by Raghu Murtugudde, lecturer at the recent WCRP-JNU Training School on Monsoon Variability in Changing Climate. His advice is to "be careful about plagiarism but never let worries about it get in the way of thoroughly enjoying the exploration that you worked so hard to pursue as a career choice." Read the full article: Should young researchers be paranoid about their ideas being stolen? Find out more about WCRP's commitment to support...
