Events

The MSD Connecting Research to Operations and Planning’ (R2O2R) Working Group will hold a webinar on April 30, 2024 from 1-2pm ET, focusing on applied science for decision-making at the water-energy nexus. The event will include several talks followed by a moderated Q&A and discussion with the audience. Each of the speakers will reflect on several important aspects of their work as it relates to practitioner communities: application environment, scientific capabilities, science-application interface, and lessons learned.

The AMS Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones serves as an authority on tropical meteorology and tropical cyclones for the Society and is the communication channel for the Society with the national and international organizations for tropical meteorological and related activities.

The Groundwater

and Society Workshop will advance research in the interdisciplinary study of human natural resource decisions and groundwater systems. This workshop will bring together expertise in physical macro-scale groundwater modeling, natural resource economics, and multi-sector dynamics. The goal of gathering researchers from these different disciplines is to scope the current state of groundwater studies in human-natural systems research, and to identify important open questions, key next steps, and grand challenges in this interdisciplinary space.

Join us as we delve into the latest advancements in energy storage safety and reliability, aligning with the DOE roadmap for the future at the 8th Annual Energy Storage Safety & Reliability Forum, taking place from May 14-16, 2024. Proudly sponsored by the DOE Office of Electricity’s Energy Storage Program, this insightful event will be held at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Discovery Hall in Richland, WA.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) will hold the Hydropower Research and Development (R&D) Summit Talks across three virtual events in May, June, and July 2024. The summit will bring together representatives from both environmental and industry hydropower groups to share insights on the technological and scientific needs for sustainable hydropower in the United States.

The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility will host an open science-focused summer school from May 19 to 24, 2024, at Cleveland State University in Ohio. The ARM Open Science Summer School: Connecting State-of-the-Art Models with Diverse Field Campaign Observations is targeted at students from undergraduates to postdoctoral scholars. Planned activities include instructional talks, tutorials, and mentored hackathon sessions for attendees to work with ARM data

concepts and capabilities, including data-driven ML, physics-informed ML, the application of large language models (LLMs), and generative AI, can be used to enhance the predictive understanding of hydrological processes and their interactions with broader Earth systems.

The “Science of Making Torque from Wind” is an official event by the European Academy of Wind Energy and aims at gathering experts worldwide for a unique chance to discuss the cutting-edge developments in wind energy science. PNNL Distributed Wind Capability Lead Danielle Preziuso is attending as a member of the conference’s Scientific Committee.

The first Coast-Urban-Rural Atmospheric Gradient Experiment (CoURAGE) science team meeting will be held June 6, 2024, at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. There is an online attendance option as well. Registration for in-person or virtual attendance is open until May 1. There is no cost to register. The objectives of the CoURAGE meeting include: sharing information about BSEC and CoURAGE among science team members learning about complementary studies from the scientific community identify science team plans for accomplishing CoURAGE’s research objectives working to build on any opportunities the group identifies for improving the project.

The Asia Climate Forum (ACF) is a global platform dedicated to fostering dialogue and collaboration on climate change
