Challenges for Climate Science
Synergies between SPARC and the WCRP Grand Challenges
Venue
The Conference Venue of the Max Planck Society
Ihnestrasse 16-20
14195 Berlin
In recent years the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) has identified several Grand Science Challenges (http://www.wcrp-climate.org/grand-challenges) representing areas of emphasis in scientific research for WCRP in the coming decade. Progress in these areas should lead to “actionable information” for decision makers. More broadly, WCRP supports climate science via its Core Projects, among them the SPARC project on “Stratosphere-troposphere processes and their role in climate”.
Held back-to-back with the annual meeting of the SPARC scientific steering group, this workshop tries to bring together scientists active in Grand Challenge research, in different SPARC activities, and scientists that so far have had fewer links to WCRP.
The workshop has the following aims:
- To discuss the state of the science in the areas of Grand Challenges and SPARC themes;
- To define improved collaborations between SPARC and the Grand Challenges;
- To discuss the role of SPARC and Grand Challenges in WCRP priorities.
