WCRP-AGU Early Career Workshop

Water Cycle in a 1.5° Warmer World: Interdisciplinary Approaches

Saturday, 7 December 2019

Waterfront Room DE, Atrium Level

Under the auspices of the WCRP Climate Science Week, the Joint Early Career Researcher (ECR) Workshop “Water Cycle in a 1.5°C warmer world: interdisciplinary approaches’’ aimed to bring together students and early career researchers to 1) discuss a joint perspective on the water cycle and governance under climate change, from the fundamental processes to societal impacts, 2) identify how the science of the upcoming generation of researchers can be integrated into the current WCRP Grand Challenges and the new WCRP Strategy, and 3) explore how the various early career researcher networks can work in a more integrative manner, benefit from each other, and improve their communication channels.

Special emphasis was placed on proposing an ECR roadmap to address the future of water-related research in the context of climate change in an interdisciplinary manner. The workshop served to identify research topics where ECRs can make valuable contributions while furthering their career paths in Earth system science and promoting inter- and cross-disciplinary approaches.
