Registrations open for the 1st International Symposium on Earth System Modeling (EarthSym)

16 March 2026

EarthSym 2026

The 1st International Symposium on Earth System Modeling (EarthSym) to be held from 12 to 14 August 2026 in Maceió, Brazil will serve as an international forum for discussion, collaboration, and exchange of ideas on the numerical representation of the Earth system and its interacting components. The event highlights the complex connections among the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, hydrosphere, and cryosphere, and how these interactions influence weather, climate, and environmental variability across spatial and temporal scales.
  • 10 March to 9 July : Early registration
  • 15 April: Abstract submission deadline

GPEX Multistakeholder Workshop brings together the precipitation science community in Kyoto

09 March 2026

GPEX workshop 2026

More than 60 researchers, practitioners, operational agencies and industry representatives from across regions gathered for the GPEX Multi-stakeholder Workshop on 5–6 March to discuss the latest advances in precipitation science and the evolving role of the WCRP Global Precipitation EXperiment (GPEX).

The discussions went beyond the science itself. A key focus was how we translate advances in precipitation research into knowledge, information and services that stakeholders can understand, use and act upon- from robust science to better risk-informed decision making.

A turning point as we shape the next phase of GPEX development- strengthening collaboration across research institutions, operational centres, space agencies and other partners.

Join us to celebrate the release of the first free online resource on the historical links between Climate Science and Colonialism

17 February 2026

MCR webinar

It has been widely acknowledged that the impacts of climate change and climate policy reveal the enduring legacies of colonialism.  But what about climate science itself? 
We invite you to join us on Zoom on February 27, 2026, at 12:30 PM UTC, to celebrate the release of the first free online resource on the historical links between Climate Science and Colonialism and their current-day manifestations – and why and how we must do better.

This is the inaugural pilot version of a two-year project based on video talks by scholarly experts from around the world.  Intended for high school and college educators, scientists, scholars, activists and concerned citizens, this collection of curated resources is brought to you by the My Climate Risk Education Working Group in collaboration with MCR’s Himalayan Hub and The Pearl Hub.  

An Educator’s Guide to Climate Science & Colonialism
Date and Time
: February 27, Friday, 12:30 PM UTC.
Registration Link: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/p6-ScD8KQV-zqcXzJA5cPQ
