Joint AIMES-ESA Forum on Tipping Points in the Earth’s Climate
26-29 January 2021, Virtual
Full Workshop Details
Since the threat of exceeding climate tipping points cannot be ruled out, they pose an existential threat to civilization and an important frontier for scientific effort: we need to reduce the uncertainties around their likelihood as well as the resilience of the Earth system. Efforts must include developing climate models to capture a richer suite of couplings and feedbacks in the Earth system to anticipate changes and prioritize mitigation efforts. We must also improve our observational records of the most sensitive aspects of the climate system and find more efficient ways to use these observations. This forum will focus on clarifying the role of Earth observations and necessary satellite data requirements to better monitor the climate system’s resilience to tipping points. Workshop participants will contribute to a citable report that will provide input to and guide the development of future ESA climate activities.
Webinar recording available for “Is the idea of large-scale behavioural modelling realistic?”
The AIMES/GLP Working Group on Large-scale Behavioural Models of Land Use Change held its first webinar, featuring Peter Verburg and Elke Weber discussing whether the idea of large-scale behavioural modelling is realistic, in November 2020.
Webinar: Is the idea of large-scale behavioural modelling realistic?
Register for this webinar organized by the AIMES/GLP Working Group on Large scale behavioural models of land use change, Dr. Peter Verburg (VU University Amsterdam) and Dr. Elke Weber (Princeton University) will discuss the challenges and opportunities for developing large-scale behavioural models of land use change.
Community Climate Intervention Strategies (CCIS) workshop
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together key members from different research communities to develop coordinated interdisciplinary paths for future research on combined climate intervention strategies.
Open Modeling Foundation strategic planning workshop
On 18-19 May, 32 scientists from the USA and Europe, representing 23 modeling organizations, met to discuss the Open Modeling Foundation initiative.
