Climate and Cryosphere aims to understand and assess the wide range of societal impacts of the loss of the mountain cryosphere through a newly proposed strategic initiative: Impacts of Changes in the Mountain Cryosphere (IC-MontC).

Applications are now invited by the CORDEX Science Advisory Team (SAT) for groups within regional communities across the globe to propose 'Flagship Pilot Studies' (FPS).

This FPS call consists of two parts:

• An open part where you suggest a topic of your choice as long as it follows the FPS Criteria & Guidelines
• A part dedicated to Climate Risks. We here encourage FPS proposals that target risk producing climatic hazards including assessing and improving simulations of the hazard, understanding the projected future changes, and quantifying the added-value that high-resolution/process resolving brings to the simulation of the hazards and their changes. CORDEX SAT would also highly appreciate proposals related to Small Islands challenges. 

The deadline for applications is Wednesday 21 August 2024.

WCRP and CLIVAR are saddened to hear of the passing away of Dr Howard Cattle, Director of the CLIVAR International Project Office from 2002-2010 at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (UK). Dr. Cattle’s background in meteorology, oceanography, forecasting and management had suited him in taking CLIVAR to the next level. He will be remembered as an outstanding scientist. Our thoughts are with his family and many friends.

Please see the obituary on CLIVAR webpage.
