The GEWEX Global Land-Atmosphere System Studies Panel (GLASS) will hold its first Pan-GLASS Conference, “Back to the Drawing Board: From Fundamentals to Improved Models of the Coupled Land-Atmosphere System” (Pan-GLASS 2026) in Stuttgart (Germany) from 6–9 July 2026.
Pan-GLASS 2026 will bring together experts on Earth system, weather, and climate research, soil and vegetation processes, surface fluxes, planetary boundary layer transport processes, clouds and precipitation, and machine learning. At the conference, observationalists, theoreticians, and modelers will join to discuss the key issues of land-atmosphere science.
Pan-GLASS 2026 will be primarily an in-person event.
Important Dates
- 31 January: Deadline for travel support request and ECR competition application
- 28 February: Deadline for abstract submission
- 30 April: Deadline for Early Bird registration

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) invites applications for the position of Director of the International Project Office for Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX-IPOC), to be hosted jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA) and University of Cape Town (UCT).
CORDEX goals are:
- To better understand relevant regional/local climate phenomena, their variability and changes, through downscaling.
- To evaluate and improve regional climate downscaling models and techniques
- To produce coordinated sets of regional downscaled projections worldwide
- To foster communication and knowledge exchange with users of regional climate information
The Director leads the international project office ensuring that it operates efficiently to actively serve the needs of CORDEX and its global community, in alignment with and under the guidance of the CORDEX Science Advisory Team (SAT).
To know more about the position and to apply, see the details available in the call. Application closing date: February 13, 2026

In late November 2025, the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) brought together a diverse group of top scientists from around the world in Paris for a milestone workshop on Earth system high-impact events, tipping points and their consequences. Hosted by the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace at Sorbonne Université, the meeting convened experts from across disciplines—including many authors, Bureau members of the IPCC’s Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) and members of IPCC and WCRP’s leadership—to advance shared scientific understanding of some of the most consequential risks in the climate system.

WCRP releases a landmark report on global atmospheric impacts of the 2022 Hunga volcanic eruption. Under the APARC project, this international assessment brings together 159 scientists from 21 countries to analyze the most explosive volcanic event of the satellite era.
The full report and datasets (HTHH-MOC simulations) are publicly available via CEDA, APARC, and WCRP websites.
