The WCRP Explaining and Predicting Earth System Change Lighthouse Activity invites you to join the third webinar of the series that will provide a discussion forum on topics focused on predicting and explaining a range of different climate phenomena and events, while supporting the further development of a scientific agenda. This third webinar will focus on global and regional changes in drought and aspects related to a changing climate.
SPEAKERS:
- Aiguo Dai (University at Albany, USA): Drought Under Global Warming
- Alessandra Giannini (Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique/IPSL, France; and IRI, USA): Attribution of climate change: the case of late 20th century Sahel drought
- Juan Rivera (CCT Mendoza, CONICET, Argentina): Mechanisms behind the recent unprecedented drying along the Central Andes of Argentina
The event will take place on 15th February 2023, from 15:00hs to 16:30hs UTC.
Registrations are free and can be done via https://EPESC-webinar-series-drought.eventbrite.co.uk

Upcoming discussion on Climate Tipping Points: how to tip society, not the planet, taking place on 26 January 2023, 15:00 - 16:30 CET. AIMES, the Earth Commission, Future Earth, and the WCRP Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity organizes a webinar on social tipping points as part of a series that aims to advance the knowledge about tipping points, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. It supports efforts to increase consistency in treatment of tipping elements in the scientific community, develop a research agenda, and design joint experiments and ideas for a Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project (TipMip).

The WCRP Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Core Project coordinates, advances, and facilitates all modelling, data assimilation and observational activities within WCRP, working jointly with all other WCRP projects and providing strategic connections to related external programs. It follows a seamless and value chain approach across all Earth system components, disciplines, and scales. The modelling and observational activities under ESMO are central to the provision of science-based climate information to support adaptation planning and decision-making, local and regional climate impact assessments, and national and international mitigation and adaptation policies. ESMO was officially launched by the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee in November 2020.
This call invites the community to nominate candidates (including self-nomination) to become members of the ESMO Scientific Steering Group (SSG).
If you are interested in joining the SSG, please submit your application via the online form by 10 March 2023.
Please direct inquiries about the nomination and selection process to Nico Caltabiano (

The demand for and interest in CMIP data is growing rapidly with users coming from an increasingly diverse range of backgrounds beyond the climate research community including climate services, impact modelling, regional and local policy/decision makers and indigenous communities from across the globe. This task team will seek to smooth the path between the conception of experiments and the use of the resulting data. We are looking for a diverse and multidisciplinary team of 8-12 experts representing the range of CMIP-like data providers, data users, and infrastructure providers. We are especially keen to ensure representation from all global regions and across career stages and have therefore extended the call deadline to promote wider participation.
Find out more here where the call text can be downloaded for further information on the aims and objectives of the Task Team, and the relevant point of contact. Applications should be submitted via this form by Monday 23rd January 2023 and if you have any questions please contact
