It will take place on 11 February 2022, 13:30 - 15:00 CET. The two talks of the event will be given by:
- Ocean tipping points - an overview – Christoph Heinze
- Recent insights on the AMOC – Stefan Rahmstorf
The session will be recorded and posted on the event site a day or two after the event. To register for the event, please see the event site.

The WCRP Explaining and Predicting Earth System Change Lighthouse Activity invites interested researchers to apply for positions in its Scientific Steering Group and their three Working Groups.
The overarching objective of this Lighthouse Activity is to “design, and take major steps toward delivery of, an integrated capability for quantitative observation, explanation, early warning, and prediction of Earth System change on global and regional scales, with a focus on multi-annual to decadal timescales.” This includes three main themes, which are developed by three Working Groups; the bullet points indicate specific topics of interest to each group:
- WG1: Observing and modelling Earth system change
- WG2: Integrated attribution, prediction, and projection
- WG3: Assessment of current and future hazards
Check on the full call that contains the link for the application form:
Deadline for applications: 15th March 2022.

The WCRP Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) and the CMIP Panel are already working hard in preparation for the next phase of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Specifically, we need to hear from everyone their views on the positive aspects and challenges they faced in CMIP6, and how they would like to see future phases of CMIP structured and delivered.
For that, we are inviting the community to take part in the “CMIP Community next steps survey”. It is your chance to help us shape the future of CMIP!
