'''Sediment Cascades in Cold Climate Geosystems, Zugspitze, Bavaria/Germany, September 1-4, 2014'''<br><br>Changes in climate have a major impact on sediment cascades in high-latitude and high-altitude cold environments from high arctic/antarctic and subarctic/subantarctic to alpine and upland sites. Climate changes influence the nature and extent of glaciers, permafrost areas, ice sheets and the extent and intensity of glacial, peri-, pro- and paraglacial processes. In this context major foci of the workshop are related to:
# observations of geomorphological processes, measurements and modelling of sediment fluxes and budgets in cold climate geosystems in past, present and future,
# the discussion of synthesis chapters of the SEDIBUD book. +
'''Summary'''
Multi-use, multi-user facilities to support geoscience research require durable infrastructure, built and used over significant time periods, rarely less than five years and sometimes for twenty years or more. Investment in these facilities can be utilized by numerous investigators in diverse fields but only if the facilities incorporate capabilities required for individual research projects that may be proposed long after a facility is designed.
NSF/EAR has indicated its plan to recompete the management and operation of its seismic and geodetic facilities in 2018 (see 2009 Dear Colleague Letter on Plans for Integration and Recompetition of EAR Solid Earth Deformation Facilities). In order to inform this recompetition, IRIS, UNAVCO, and the EarthScope National Office (ENO) are working together to gather community input for NSF on the key scientific questions and emerging areas of research the geosciences community will be pursuing in 2018 and beyond, and the seismic and geodetic facility capabilities that will be required to support this research. We plan to describe two types of capabilities:
Foundational facilities are those seismic and geodetic capabilities without which geoscience research, as practiced today, could not continue
Frontier facilities are new capabilities, beyond those that might presently exist, which will be required to make rapid progress in addressing one or more science grand challenge questions
'''Workshop''':
The 2 ½ day workshop will be organized around broad geoscience research and outreach needs beyond 2018: rheology and global geodynamics, fault and volcano systems, evolving landscapes, and discovery-mode Earth science. For each topic, several concise presentations and Q&A periods in plenary sessions, including at least one focusing on broader impacts, will be followed by breakout sessions charged to address questions about emerging science opportunities, required facilities, and broader impacts.
'''Participation'''
Participation in the workshop will be limited to 100 researchers and educators from the geoscience community. Applications to attend the workshop will be accepted between December 1, 2014 and February 15, 2015. The Workshop Organizing Committee will choose participants to represent the seismological, geodetic, and broader geoscience research communities, with special attention to including early-career investigators, women, and underrepresented minorities. Attendees will be notified by March 2, 2015.

''We are experiencing climate change and need to understand how the hydrology and land surface processes response to weather and climate variability. To be better prepared and able to adapt to changes in the water cycle, models need to be an integrated part of decision processes. It is crucial to develop models that integrate both meteorological and hydrological processes, and are flexible and designed to include novel observations and new types of data.''
The energy exchange at the land surface affects the climate, and when the climate changes so will the land surface. These changes alter various feedback mechanisms, influencing atmospheric circulation and hydrological cycle. One example is the albedo feedback; a warmer climate means less snow on the ground and a dark surface absorbs more energy than a light surface, thus reinforcing the warming signal through a positive feedback process. This is one of the main reasons why climate change affects high latitude regions stronger than most other regions of the world. Another example is soil moisture impacts on land surface-atmosphere interactions through redistribution of the available energy as latent and sensible heat fluxes. These examples show that we need to develop models that fully integrate two-way couplings between the atmosphere and land surface, and thus improve on today’s models that still rely on one-way couplings and thereby neglects important interactions and feedbacks.
Extreme weather events will occur more often in the future than today, and therefore we expect an increase in frequency of floods, droughts, and landslides. This will likely lead to larger damages on infrastructure and nature. The demand and production potential of renewable energy is also strongly linked to the hydrometeorological system. The Norwegian Hydrological Council recognizes the need to bring together hydrologists and meteorologists to discuss the integration of meteorology and hydrology in all modelling activities that includes weather, climate and water (e.g. weather forecasts, climate prediction, hydrological impact predictions, climate and hydrological model coupling, environmental hazards).
The conference aims to address topics related to modelling the climate system and the interface with the land surface processes and hydrological impacts of climate change. It will also focus on recent developments of observation systems and data analysis, including experiences with big data and machine learning. A special focus is given to cold climates, including the boreal, alpine and arctic zone. The conference is organized in three sessions:
(1) “Water Cycle extremes”, (2) “From modelling to decisions”, and (3) ”Learning from environmental data: from field observations to machine learning”.
(Registration deadline is an indication!; class is full, when limit of 30students is reached).<br><br>

21st NRB symposium and workshop will be held in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Russia. This largest region of Russia (total area 3.1 mln km²) is located in the north-eastern part of the Eurasian continent. More than 40% of its territory is within the Arctic Circle. Yakutsk is the oldest (almost 400 years), largest (300 000 inhabitants) and coldest (average January temperature -39°C) city built in continuous permafrost. Yakutsk is built as the port at the Lena River, the tenth largest river in the world.
Climate and landscape changes are causing the transformation of hydrological cycle in Arctic regions, with major impacts on society. 21st NRB workshop will address the issues of hydrological research in cold regions, both in fundamental scientific and applied aspects, including the studies of snow, glaciers, permafrost, frozen ground, groundwater, seasonally frozen rivers and lakes.
As the Symposium is organized jointly by two leading Research Institutes of Russian Academy of Science – Institute of Water Problems and Melnikov Permafrost Institute, particularly the contributions on following research topics are welcome:
* Observational evidences of change in coupled permafrost-hydrology system
* Present state and future projections of local, regional and pan-Arctic hydrology
* Modelling studies representing landscape evolution, dynamics of water storages and permafrost degradation
* Impacts of permafrost hydrology changes on local communities”. +

Natural hazards impact thousands of people every year; floods, droughts, extreme storms, landslides, wildfires, permafrost erosion all change the Earth's surface and inflict tremendous damage to human infrastructure. Most often, humans respond to disasters "after the fact" and a paradigm shift is needed to a strategy of resilience that would provide a way to reduce vulnerability to disasters and their impacts before they occur. Numerical models of earth surface processes are one tool to simulate natural hazards and provide quantitative pre-event risk assessment. Yet, such assessments are only appropriate if the models capture all important physical processes, when the models are tested and well-vetted, when they are useable and proven accurate. This workshop aims to identify what are critical missing components in our ability to provide better assessment of earth surface change in face of natural hazards. The meeting will bring together experts in earth surface process modeling in a three-day hands-on workshop to identify shortcomings in our current natural hazard process understanding, both fundamentally in the earth surface processes as well as in the modeling approaches and technology. The workshop aims to improve natural hazard modeling for risk assessment, with a special focus on building a next-generation cyberinfrastructure and a community of modern modeling and data analysis practice, including high performance computing techniques.
This year's meeting is co-sponsored by the Sediment Experimentalist Network. +
A second workshop to aid in the conceptualization of FDSI, a potential NSF-sponsored Institute dedicated to Fluid Dynamics Software Infrastructure. +
A workshop focused on Coupling of Tectonic and Surface Processes (CTSP) will be held from April 25-27, 2018 and is intended to survey both questions and state of the art numerical techniques that simulate surface processes and long term tectonic (LTT) processes in an attempt to define a framework for the development of efficient numerical algorithms that couple across multiple length and time scales. This workshop will provide a unique opportunity for researchers to develop collaborations and proposal ideas and by doing so enhance and increase the impact of both the LTT and CSDMS communities. We expect a broad and diverse audience drawn from domestic and international research communities, including graduate students, post-docs, and early career scientists, who are interested in coupling landscape evolution to tectonic processes.
The workshop will occur over 2 ½ days at the University of Colorado (Boulder). The first two days will be dedicated to a survey of existing questions and numerical techniques and challenges through a combination of breakout discussions and presentations by leading experts in the field. The last ½ day will be dedicated to developing a white paper that outlines different mechanisms through which the LTT and surface processes communities can collaborate to tackle the science questions and the numerical challenges defined over the first two days. The hope is that such a white paper will serve to set the stage for new educational and method development efforts, including the submission of a NSF Research Collaboration Network proposal.

Almost four decades after the « Marine Turbulence », 11th Liège Colloquium in 1980.
Three decades after the « Turbulence in the ocean. From the millimeter to the megameter », 19th Liège Colloquium in 1987.
Two decades after the « Marine Turbulence Revisited », 29th Liège Colloquium in 1997.
One decade after the “Turbulence Re-revisited”, 39th Liège Colloquium on in 2007.
The exciting topic of Marine Turbulence will be revisited for the 3rd time during “Marine Turbulence Re3-visited” as the 49th Liège Colloquium in 2017.
As already in 2007, the workshop will be co-organised together with the Warnemünde Turbulence Days (its 8th edition), a biennial workshop on specific challenges in marine turbulence, organised by the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research in Warnemünde (Germany).
From decade to decade enormous progress is achieved in our understanding of marine turbulence. A major trigger of this progress is the technological development of oceanic instrumentation, numerical modeling and theory. For the instruments, higher sampling rates, larger data storages and faster data processing facilities generally allow for better resolution but do also open perspectives for novel mechanical, acoustical and optical devices. For the numerical modeling, steadily growing computer resources allow for substantially more complex models and higher resolution than a decade ago. The theory of marine turbulence has further developed towards concepts linking small-scale turbulence, internal waves, surface waves, and (sub)meso-scale dynamics. Tight collaboration between marine and atmospheric scientists in all these fields has substantially triggered progress in the field of geophysical turbulence.
Combining the historically broad approach of the Liège Colloquium with the specialized Warnemünde Turbulence Days, this joint venture will concentrate on five focal topics :
Turbulence-wave-interaction
Turbulence-(sub)mesoscale interaction
Turbulence and the marine ecosystem
Turbulence observations in the ocean
Turbulence modelling in the ocean
Contributions to these focal topics as well as to related problems of marine turbulence are invited to the Liège Colloquium in 2017.
Further details (submission, registration, deadlines, venue, ...) are available on the web site : http://labos.ulg.ac.be/gher/home/colloquium/colloquium-2017/
Deadline: Submission of abstracts - 30th January 2017
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Liège in the name of the Organizing Committee.
