The Model Intercomparison Project on the climatic response to Volcanic forcing (VolMIP, http://www.volmip.org) is a protocol-driven international initiative focusing on a multi-model assessment of climate models' performance under strong volcanic forcing conditions (Zanchettin et al., 2016).
Its main objective is to assess to what extent responses of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system to the same applied strong volcanic forcing are robustly simulated across state-of-the-art coupled climate models and identify the causes that limit robust simulated behavior, especially differences in their treatment of physical processes.
At the planned meeting, we plan to present an overview of the current status of VolMIP (analysis from CMIP6/VolMIP output, papers in preparation) and aim to discuss with the broader scientific community possible future pathways including new approaches and experiments.

The EURO-FRIEND Project 3 aims at identifying and understanding hydrological variability across different spatial and temporal scales.

The research activities regroup into five thematic working groups:
A) Tipping Point in Hydrology
B) Machine learning in Hydrology
C) Compound risks in Hydrology
D) Attribution of Hydrological Extremes
E) Data Survey

During this splinter meeting, we will review the latest advances of the group, identify emerging challenges (hot topics), and discuss potential funding sources (research grant, PhD, etc...).

This meeting is open to existing members of the EURO-FRIEND Project-3 and scientists from diverse disciplines wishing to join our discussion (and the group).

The meeting has the scope of collecting the realistic user requirements for a future gravity mission, that uses quantum technology on board the satellite. The gravity satellite is sensitive to fine mass variations, that occur in the atmosphere, on the earth surface or inside earth from the earth surface to the nucleus, due to many different processes. Mass variations and their detection are relevant for instance to hydrology, glaciology, the modeling of tectonic movements and processes and the earthquake cycle, to volcanology and the modeling of mantle fluxes. We will give a short introduction to the expected quantum gravity satellite performances and improvements compared to the satellite GRACE-Follow-On, and then collect the user requirements for the detection of the gravity field in terms of signal sensitivity, and spatial and temporal resolution, as well as applications of satellite gravimetry. The users can formulate their requirements in terms of their own discipline, we will try to translate them in terms of the corresponding gravity field. The replies of the audience will contribute to consolidate the assessment of user requirements for satellite gravimetry.

For over a decade, the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) has been providing free in-situ soil moisture data. The ISMN consists of over 72 networks and 2800 stations spread across the globe. The services provided by ISMN has greatly contributed to validating and improving global satellite soil moisture products, earth-surface as well as hydrological models. For continuing improvement of the ISMN, it is essential that users and data providers of soil moisture observation engage in participatory discussion to identify the success, challenges and provide recommendations that would benefit the wider community. This meeting therefore aims at engaging the soil moisture scientific community (data users and providers) on improving exchange of soil moisture data; sharing information about operationalization of research databases; and to demonstrate connections to other world water data centres federated within the Global Terrestrial Network - Hydrology (GTN-H).

Effectively engaging with the policymaking process and achieving policy impact requires a set of competences that are rarely covered in formal university education or doctoral programmes.

The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission has outlined 27 science for policy competences that researchers can develop and created a self-assessment tool that researchers can use to find their strengths as well as areas that they would like to improve.

During this Splinter Meeting, researchers will be guided through the self-assessment tool by one of its creators, Lene Topp. While it is recommended that participants attend the Short Course "SC3.13 What are Science4Policy competences" prior to this Splinter Meeting, it is not essential.

Scientists can engage with policy on many different levels – from the local city level all the way up to intergovernmental processes and treaties! With so many options, how do scientists who want to engage in policy decide where to dedicate their time? And once they decide, how do they start engaging?

This round table discussion will introduce you to experts who have worked across the spectrum of governance levels. They will compare the benefits of working on different scales and also talk about some of the pitfalls and challenges. Join us to find out what it’s really like to interact with local politicians and how it feels to be sitting in a meeting that dictates global climate targets!

Join us for an interactive session that will support you in communicating your science in a meaningful and ethical way.

Experts from the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission will give you tailored advice and practical feedback that you can implement to successfully navigate the policy world and connect more deeply with citizens.

Participants are encouraged to come with examples from their research or current projects and be ready to join in on the discussion! Participation in the prior "SC3.12 Beyond SciComm 101" session is encouraged but not essential.

This splinter meeting will provide you with the opportunity to give direct feedback on the European Union's Research Funding Framework Programmes.

This discussion will be hosted by those working within the European Commission and with the funding frameworks.

Welcome to Urland, a beautiful country that has recently discovered a large shale gas deposit that could be used to diversify and secure its energy supplies while also providing much needed employment to the local people! A recent application made by Drilling & Co to exploit this resource looks like a promising opportunity and they have already made a risk assessment. But is this enough evidence to base a decision on? That’s up to you to decide!

This simulation game will allow you to explore policymaking concepts, practice science-advisory skills, relate to stakeholders on the science-policy interface, and see multiple perspectives. During the simulation, you will be given a character to play who has specific aims and motivations that are either driven by their own personal values or their professional position. This will be followed by a reflection on real-life policymaking and how the session’s key take home message can be applied when dealing with science advisory processes.

This splinter session will also motivate participation in the poster sessions the following day (Thursday). After the splinter session, groups will gather for dinner to continue talking.

This meeting will provide an overview of the ISVOLC project, recently funded by the Icelandic Research Fund. The project investigates the effects of climate change induced ice-retreat on seismic and volcanic activity, utilising a selection of key active volcanoes and seismic zones in Iceland.

Climate change represents one of the defining societal challenges of the 21st century. However, climate action is inadequate across the board in responding to this challenge. Both in terms of mitigation and adaptation, measures currently taken by society fall short of what is required to ensure a safe and healthy environment, today or in the future. This results in extreme weather events causing damages and losses around the globe, and the prospect of worsening impacts and unsafe living conditions in the future because of insufficient emissions reduction commitments by countries. This shortfall in climate action has led citizens to take up legal action, to either receive compensation for suffered climate damages, or force decision makers to commit to the necessary emissions reductions.

In this splinter meeting, we invite a discussion on how to bridge the gap between the legal practice of climate change litigation and the geosciences. Starting with an overview of what the latest research says about the scientific evidence used in climate litigation, we will then open the discussion to address how new scientific methods can support legal efforts, and inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives on how to integrate geoscience insights in climate change litigation. This will include questions of climate change and impact attribution, responsibility, human rights, and burden sharing of efforts that link beyond disciplinary boundaries.

Following the approval of the new Science and Implementation Plan of the Global Atmosphere Watch Programme, the event will discuss the next steps required for the realisation of the plan. The specific topics to be discussed include:

-Activities related to translation of research to operations -GAW role in WMO GHG Monitoring Infrastructure and required research support.
-QA/QC procedures in WMO regulation.
The meeting is open to all the members of the GAW community and interested partners.

This will be an open discussion on where the science of climate adaptation stands in Europe and how science can guide the societal transformation need to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Come and join experts in the field and those working on these topics inside the European Commission to have your say and hear about exciting new projects!

The time for climate action is now. Science is critical in shaping the policies and actions to tackle the global climate change challenge,” said Chair of the IPCC Hoesung Lee.

Scientist Rebellion is an international movement of scientists and scholars who are extremely concerned about the climate and ecological crisis and believe the scientific community has the responsibility to step up and join the forefront of the climate movement.
Unless those who are best placed to understand this crisis behave according to the emergency we live in, we cannot expect the public to do the same.
The latest IPCC report notes “Any further delay in concerted action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all.”
We believe that we must expose the reality and severity of the climate and ecological emergency through nonviolent direct actions, including civil disobedience.

In this Splinter meeting we would like to share how we work and what we do. If you want to have a chat with some of us to see if this is a network you would like to join, feel free to stop by at this informative splinter meeting organized by EGU participants who are also member of Scientist Rebellion.
If you would like to participate in a community-wide discussion about different perspectives of climate activism, do not miss the town hall meeting TM12 "Science and Climate activism (part 1): Community debate" on Tuesday at 7 pm in Room L2.

The aim of this splinter meeting is to have a short report on the UPFLOW project and start a brainstorm with the European community on future European OBS initiatives and on how to improve OBS experiments. From early-stage planning, pre- and post-processing, to publishing data reports and sharing final outputs. So far exchange between different institutes and projects has been limited. We want to encourage the exchange of knowledge in the European OBS community, improve current practices and develop new strategies which could ease challenges for future OBS projects.

Policy briefs are concise, accessible documents that aim to communicate the practical implications of research to a particular policy audience and provide them with solutions to a specific issue. Although policy briefs are just one method to communicate information to a policy audience, they can be a valuable communication tool when effectively written and disseminated.

This Splinter Meeting will be run in the form of an interactive workshop. Participants will be given provided with tips and tools to create their own policy brief as well as interactive exercises to work on with other attendees and the session’s leaders.

Participants are requested to bring along one of their (single-authored or collaborative) publications to use during the workshop. If attendees do not yet have any publications, they may bring along an article authored by someone else that they are familiar with.

Rockland Scientific will provide updates on hardware and software systems for in-situ turbulence data processing and transmission, as well as recent developments of new microstructure sensor solutions and post-processing tools.

Discussion and informal exchange of recent experiences on newly explored scientific fields and review procedures.

First impressions matter. An engaging abstract (or summary) encourages readers to move on to the rest of the research article. Conversely, a poorly written abstract can cause readers to lose interest. This interactive session will provide techniques for writing a clear and concise abstract that captures a reader’s attention early on. In addition, a range of examples will help illustrate how to distill the essence of your article into an effective mini narrative. The session is suitable for researchers at all levels, but those early in their careers are especially welcome to attend. Feel free to bring along an abstract that you would like to work on!

The competition for research grants is getting fiercer by the day. Although this varies considerably by discipline and funder, success rates of 10 to 20 percent are not uncommon. To increase your chances of success, it is imperative that you clearly convey the rationale, approach, and significance of the proposed research. This, in turn, requires understanding and responding to the funder’s expectations and evaluation criteria. This interactive session will provide top-level advice for developing a compelling research grant proposal. Using some examples, it will focus on achieving a clear narrative and an effective structure. The session is suitable for researchers at all levels, but those early in their careers are especially welcome to attend. Feel free to bring along a proposal that you are working on or even simply an idea that you would like to crystallize!

Are you using the Julia language for your data analysis or interested in trying it out? We will a give a short overview into the Julia Geo package ecosystem and where to start your Julia journey. We would like to discuss what people are using Julia for, what tools they use in their work and what packages and tools are still missing.

For more information on the JuliaGeo ecosystem see https://juliageo.org/

Content may well be king, but the value of presentation cannot be underestimated for ensuring that a scientific paper is read and understood, and eventually has an impact. This interactive session will provide tools for shaping a clear and coherent scientific narrative that conveys what motivated the research, how it was carried out, what was found, and why that is important. Once a paper is written, the next job is to get it published so that your findings reach an audience that is most likely to benefit from it. This is easier said than done given both the increasing volume of research and the ever-expanding landscape of scientific journals: it requires a strategic approach to publishing. The session will briefly discuss how to approach the choice of a journal and editorial processes, among other things. The workshop is suitable for researchers at all levels, but those early in their careers are especially welcome to attend. Feel free to bring along a paper that you are working on!

The meeting aims at defining the frame of a Research Infrastructure (RI) that could act as a single point of contact for all users interested in airborne(manned/remotely piloted)/balloonborne exploratory, mobile, deployable observing systems across all areas of the Earth system - atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, solid Earth, surface. Proposed project duration is 36 monhs.
By means of this RI, the users should gain an easy and overall view of the European scientific flight capabilities (planes and payloads).

Commercial companies and organizations are also invited to upload important information, sample scripts, and shareware packages that can then be tested by our research group. Geomorphometry.org is financed through conference fees for the geomorphometry meetings. Participants of the geomorphometry meetings are automatically registered in the system as active users, which also means that they have access to internal web-pages and have an exclusive right to vote on important issues.

The specific objectives of the Geomorphometry society are:

To improve understanding of the properties of the land surface, as analyzed quantitatively from Digital Elevation Models and digital or paper maps; To advance the techniques used in land surface (terrain) analysis; To foster international collaboration in the quantitative analysis of the land surface; To run a website (geomorphometry.org) to facilitate communication between scientists and students, advertise relevant conferences and make available public-domain data sets and scientific papers.

The NASA Chief Science Data Office will hold an internal strategic meeting with leadership across programs at EGU to strategize partnerships and key activities.

General discussion on global landslide dam research, including databases, quality criteria, data collection, failure mechanisms, and hazard and risk.

A working group consisting of academic research institutions and non-profits is in the process of assessing the feasibility of developing novel aerial greenhouse gas monitoring platforms. In this splinter meeting, researchers and potential non-profit funders will discuss proposed approaches towards this development.
