“The Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the UCLA School of Law, in partnership with the Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment, the Solar Radiation Management Governance Initiative, and the Harvard Solar Geoengineering Research Program, is pleased to announce the Sixth International Geoengineering Summer School.”

“Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is the most radical, controversial, and rapidly acting form of geoengineering. SRM is a set of proposals to reduce the impacts of climate change by means such as sulfate aerosol injection or marine cloud brightening. This school will focus on interpreting and analysing computer simulation of SRM from the international Geoengineering Intercomparison project (GeoMIP) Geoengineering Large Ensemble of Simulations (GLENS) using the CESM+WACCM model. […] Apply before March 30 by sending a 300 word explanation of your motivation for attending, and current CV. Also indicate if and how much travel support is needed.  For further information and applications please contact John Moore john.moore.bnu (at) gmail.com.”

ICAER 2019 is sponsored by the Hong Kong Chemical, Biological & Environmental Engineering Society (CBEES). It is one of the leading international conferences for presenting novel and fundamental advances in the fields of Advances in Environment Research. It also serves to foster communication among researchers and practitioners working in a wide variety of scientific areas with a common interest in improving Advances in Environment Research related techniques.

“Goldschmidt is the foremost annual, international conference on geochemistry and related subjects, organised by the European Association of Geochemistry and the Geochemical Society.”

“The network of leading Swiss institutions in climate research and education invites young scientists to join high-profile climate researchers in Southern Switzerland for keynote lectures, workshops, and poster sessions on the occasion of the 18th Swiss Climate Summer School 2019.”

Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Climate and Weather, CMIP6 Efforts, Storage and Computing in the Cloud, Novel and emerging HPC technology and architectures

“We propose a two-day conference spread over three days (half-day/full day/half-day) starting after lunch on Monday 9th September and concluding before lunch on Wednesday 11th September. The conference programme is inspired by the format of the Talanoa Dialogue.”

• The conference invites researchers, policy makers, professionals, farmers and other entrepreneurs;
• Grants including fees and traveling costs will be available for a significant number of young researchers and farmers;

The conference is organised by the EU Intereg North Sea partners in the SalFar project, in particular by the Waddenacademie in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands.

Building a community

Research underway along the North Sea countries and elsewhere in the world illustrates the vast and so far underrated potential of growing food on soils generally qualified as saline. Food production on present and future saline soils deserves the world’s attention in particular because 1) food security is a pressing issue, 2) millions of hectares of degraded soils are available world-wide, 3) fresh water is becoming increasingly scarce, and 4) global sea level rise threatens food production in fertile coastal lowlands.

Capitalizing on the vast potential of saline agriculture requires a major interdisciplinary and collaborative research effort to inform effective and supportive policy frameworks and to evaluate the most promising methods for developing saline agriculture in different regions of the globe. The conference intends to build on the conclusions of earlier conferences, such as FAO’s Global Forum on Salinization and Climate Change, Salinity Forum and ICBA’s International Workshop on Climate Change and Soil Salinity Dynamics.
