UNION GEODESIQUE ET GEOPHYSIQUE INTERNATIONALE



The IUGG Electronic Journal
Volume 15 No. 10 (1 October 2015)

This informal newsletter is intended to keep IUGG Member National Committees informed about the activities of the IUGG Associations, and actions of the IUGG Secretariat. Past issues are posted on the IUGG website (http://www.iugg.org/publications/ejournals/). Please forward this message to those who will benefit from the information. Your comments are welcome.

1. Grants Programme for 2016-2019

IUGG continues its Grants Programme for 2016-2019, which will complement the Union programme of funding symposia and workshops organized or co-sponsored by Union Associations and Union Commissions (see item 2 of this issue). Key priority areas are defined for the Grants Programme in line with IUGG overall scientific strategies:

  *   Creation of new knowledge in Earth and space sciences;
  *   Dissemination of knowledge, data and information on geophysics and geodesy;
  *   Geoscience for sustainable development;
  *   Geoscience and policy interface;
  *   Geoscience education and outreach in developing countries.

Proposals of high quality related to the priority areas will be funded for a fixed term of one or two years. The IUGG Grants Programme aims to support projects of importance to the international geophysical and geodetic community, which will explore new scientific ideas and develop future international initiatives. A typical proposal may be for a workshop or a meeting of experts from several disciplines to develop a specific scientific programme or assessment, particularly addressing an enhancement of geophysical research and Earth science education in underdeveloped and developing countries. Although the range of activities supported is broad, the project proposals should be of scientific and societal importance, and their results are expected to provide clear recommendations to politicians and other decision makers at national and local levels and to the general public in terms of the urgent actions to be undertaken. The deliverables of the projects should bring increased visibility to IUGG and the Union Associations.

Proposals can be submitted by IUGG Associations and Union Commissions ONLY. Associations' bodies (e.g. Commissions, Task and Work Groups) seeking funding for a project should submit their proposals via relevant Union Associations or Union Commissions. Preference will be given to proposals that are multi- and trans-disciplinary and truly international, especially those involving more than two of the IUGG Associations and Union Commissions and representatives of several nations and countries. Proposals should be global or regional in scope and involve a multi-national group, especially scientists from developing countries, women, and younger researchers.

The number of proposals to be funded per year is not fixed, but depends upon relevance, quality, proposal budget requests, and the total amount of funds available for the Grants Programme. The total funding for the Programme in 2016-2017 is US$40,000. The same amount of funds is reserved for 2018-2019. An average grant is US$10,000-15,000. Co-sponsorship from other sources is encouraged.

The deadline for the project proposal submission is 1 April 2016 for the first call. Following the call, all proposals will be reviewed by the IUGG Bureau. If necessary, specialized experts may be invited to participate in the review process. Successful applicants will be notified by 1 July 2016.

Grants will be made for periods of one or two years commencing from 1 August 2016. Funds will be allocated as a function of need and quality, and projects may be cancelled if progress has been unsatisfactory. For funded projects, an annual report is to be sent to the IUGG Secretariat by 31 October 2017 and subsequently annually on the same date by all multi-year projects. A final report is to be submitted within three months of the date of the project termination. Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications electronically. The application form can be obtained from the IUGG Secretariat at the request of a Union Association or Union Commission Secretary General.

Further information is available at: http://www.iugg.org/programmes/grants2019.php

2. IUGG support for scientific meetings to be held in 2016
The program of IUGG support for scientific meetings (e.g. workshops, advanced schools, symposia) is one of the most important means by which the Union and its Associations pursue a goal of promoting geophysics and geodesy through international collaboration. A fraction of the IUGG's budget is devoted to the support of these scientific meetings. The IUGG Executive Committee places great emphasis on maintaining high scientific standards, coverage of a balanced spectrum of topics, and an appropriately broad and international flavor for the scientific program of the meetings. In that respect, the ICSU rules on non-discrimination in the access of qualified scientists from all parts of the world to any IUGG-sponsored meeting apply.
The number of co-sponsored meetings ranges from 10 to 15 (up to US$2,000 each). Accordingly, not all meeting proposals worthy of support can be awarded IUGG sponsorship. The following guidelines for obtaining IUGG sponsorship should be observed by prospective proposers:

  *   IUGG-sponsored scientific meetings should have a well-defined and scientifically relevant theme, should be scheduled at a propitious time for significant progress in the field, and should be of interest to young researchers as well as senior experts.
  *   While the IUGG embraces all fields in geophysics and geodesy, a proposed program should maintain a balanced scope relevant to IUGG Associations. Each proposal will be judged on its own scientific merits.
  *   Given the international nature of the Union, meetings are by definition internationally oriented. This requires a well-balanced geographical distribution.

Normally, the initiative to propose a scientific meeting for IUGG sponsorship originates from a group of scientists in a certain field. Prospective meeting organizers should contact the respective Association Secretary General (ASG) well in advance of their intended proposal submission, by sending a request for IUGG support until 15 October 2015.
The scientific merit of each scientific meeting's proposal will be evaluated by the respective ASG, taking into consideration comments and advice received from the Association Executive Committee. The ASGs should communicate their recommendation for selection to the IUGG Secretary-General before 31 October 2015.
The allocations will be suggested by the IUGG Secretary-General and reviewed by the Members of the IUGG Bureau to assure impartiality. The Bureau will decide on the final selection of the meeting. The decision on the IUGG support will be communicated to the ASGs by the IUGG General-Secretary in a letter of award as soon as possible but not later than 1 December 2015. The IUGG support should be acknowledged in all documents related to a sponsored meeting (e.g. in the scientific program, on the web-page, brochures, publications of proceedings etc)

3. The International Year of Global Understanding

The International Council for Science (ICSU), the International Social Science Council (ISSC), and the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH) announced that 2016 will be the International Year of Global Understanding (IYGU). The aim of IYGU is to promote better understanding of how the local impacts the global in order to foster smart policies to tackle critical global challenges such as climate change, food security and migration (see the IYGU Press Release http://www.icsu-geounions.org/files/IYGU_PressRelease.pdf).

“We want to build bridges between global thinking and local action,” said Benno Werlen, Professor of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany. “Only when we truly understand the effects of our personal choices – for example in eating, drinking and producing – on the planet, can we make appropriate and effective changes,” said Werlen, who initiated this project of the International Geographical Union (IGU).

IUGG and other ICSU GeoUnions (http://www.icsu-geounions.org) enthusiastically supported the IYGU, both scientifically and financially. In 2016, the IYGU program will be coordinated by Regional Action Centers. The IYGU Secretariat in Jena, Germany, coordinates all IYGU activities. More information on IYGU is available at: http://www.global-understanding.info.

6. Obituary: Claude Froidevaux (1930-2015)

IUGG Fellow Claude Froidevaux died on 11 August 2015 in Paris, France. Claude Froidevaux was a pioneer in studies of the interplay between physics and tectonics as well as a very dedicated leader in many international associations. Born in Switzerland in 1930, Claude Froidevaux had rather eclectic interests and skills: after a bachelor’s degree in modern history from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, he switched to physics and obtained a D. Phil. in low temperature physics from the University of Oxford, UK. In 1964, after a post-doctoral research in the University of California at Berkeley, USA, he joined the University of Orsay, France, where he initiated a very successful research group developing experimentation based on nuclear magnetic resonance.

At the request of Jacques Friedel and Claude Allègre, he got interested in geosciences in the early seventies. He rapidly developed a novel approach in understanding of mechanical and thermal processes in the mantle, in collaboration with Gerald Schubert and other scientists from the University of California at Los Angeles where he spent a sabbatical. At a time when plate tectonics was still a new concept, Claude was among the first to introduce physics to explain the Earth’s deformations occurring on both microscopic and macroscopic scales. Linking thermodynamics, rheology, solid-state physics and dynamics he developed mechanical models of the lithosphere and the upper mantle, which had a profound influence on the early developments of modern geodynamics. Claude Froidevaux was very good at attracting and motivating young scientists, who benefited from his clear physical vision of Earth sciences. On his return to Orsay he, with George Jobert at Paris VI and Kurt Lambeck at Paris VII, was instrumental in developing the joint DEA (or Masters) program that was influential in training the next generation of researchers. At Orsay he created very fruitful working conditions for his team, and the ‘Froidevaux group’ in Orsay was a kind of scientific family. In 1986, Xavier Le Pichon asked Claude Froidevaux and his team to join the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris, where he became Dean of Earth Sciences.

Claude Froidevaux was a very prominent personality of international geosciences. He was among the scientists who promoted the European Union of Geosciences (EUG), a predecessor of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), as Editor of the Terra Cognita journal. In 1995, he was elected President of the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior (IASPEI) and became a Member of the IUGG Executive Committee. Many of us keep marvelous memories from the summer schools he organized in Cargese and Porto-Heli and from the IUGG Conference on Mathematical Geophysics in southern France. Claude had a genuine interest both in people and in science even in domains rather far away from his own field. This prompted him to help many, especially earlier career scientists. Claude will be remembered as an optimistic, enthusiastic, and generous personality.

Luce Fleitout and Henri-Claude Nataf (ENS)

  The Antarctic Ozone Hole The Antarctic ozone hole is an annually
recurring phenomenon. Its size and depth depends to a large extent on the
meteorological conditions since the atmosphere still contains more than
enough halogen reservoir gases to destroy all the ozone in a certain height
range (typically 15-20 km altitude) if they are converted to active
chlorine and bromine. The 2015 ozone hole started relatively late in August
but then increased quickly in size during the first two weeks of September.
By the beginning of October, the 2015 ozone hole area is larger than in any
year after 2008.
Ozonesonde measurements at some Antarctic sites show total destruction of
ozone at an altitude of around 16 km.  Ozone hole area based on data from
GOME-2  (SCIAMACHY in the past). The plot is up to date as of 1 October.
Calculation and plotting is done at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological
Institute. The grey dots represent the forecast for the next five days.
See http://www.temis.nl

for more details. Ozone soundings carried out at Belgrano and at the South
Pole. Between 15 and 17km altitude essentially all the ozone is depleted.
More details about ozone hole observations in Antarctica is found in the
WMO Antarctic Ozone Bulletins (see lower down
<#150234e0fe4c07d5_Recent+Reports> in this Newsletter). The two profiles
shown here will appear in the next Bulletin, which is planned for 9
October. Recent Meetings   Workshop on Future Directions of GAW Data
Management  Experts with a common interest in atmospheric composition
monitoring and services for climate, chemical weather and health were
invited to a joint WMO-MeteoSwiss 2-day meeting on 10-11 August 2015 at
MeteoSwiss, Zürich.  The purpose of the workshop was to scope out a vision
for how to manage atmospheric composition observations from GAW and related
networks and data archives, to review the  organisational structure needed
to best support atmospheric composition data management as well as service
delivery, and to guide the update and/or development of Terms of Reference
for GAW World Data Centres and other data centres that are to be affiliated
with GAW. A meeting report will be made available in the coming weeks.
  Second meeting of the Task Team on Observational Requirements GAW’s Task
Team on Observational Requirements and invited experts met at the
MeteoSwiss headquarters in Zurich on 12-13 August in order to further
develop a list of atmospheric composition and related parameters required
to support application areas, including: forecasting of atmospheric
composition, monitoring of atmospheric composition, and provision of
atmospheric composition information for applications in urban and other
populated areas.  The team also identified observational requirements for a
set of priority variables that cut across the above three application
areas. Finalised observational requirements will be used to critically
review GAW observing capabilities as a component of WMO’s Global Integrated
Observing System.  The output will be used to develop application-specific
Statements of Guidance for WMO Members in order to guide the future
evolution of the GAW observing system.
More information on the work of this Task Team can be found in GAW Report #
221

Participants at the 10-11 August meeting at MeteoSwiss in Zurich. 4th
International GAW Workshop, Jakarta In the last eight years, BMKG has held
three workshops related to GAW activities. This year, BMKG conducted the
4th International GAW Workshop on 18-19 August 2015 in Jakarta. The
workshop provided a scientific forum to discuss the national and
international roles of the GAW stations; to foster knowledge transfer and
information exchange especially on measurement methods, data collecting and
analysis, calibration system capacity; and to improve
international cooperation and knowledge exchange between the air quality
community in Indonesia and institutes in other countries making similar
measurements.

This year's workshop was targeted towards station managers and department
leads in atmospheric chemistry in the tropical regions. Researchers from
other regions were welcome to participate in order to

18th GGMT Meeting, La Jolla, California

The *18th WMO/IAEA Meeting on Carbon Dioxide, Other Greenhouse Gases, and
Related Measurement Techniques (GGMT-2015) was* held on *September 13-17,
2015* at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography
<http://wmo.us11.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=34c664c1c564215e58ce16db5&id=94ff7a0f59&e=3f501ec309>
in La Jolla, California. This was the 40th anniversary of the first GGMT
meeting (then called "CO₂ Experts Meeting") which was also held at Scripps.
The discussions were focused on measurements of key atmospheric greenhouse
gases and tracers, their isotopes, assessment of new techniques of
standardisation, quality assurance, and data products. The discussed
topics have broadened from problems and challenges in the field of precise
measurements of atmospheric trace gases to data utilisation, integrated
products and observational network design. There were two new topics
discussed at the meeting, namely greenhouse gas measurements in urban
environments and measurements of dissolved greenhouse gases and related
ocean tracers. During the meeting the WMO Recommendations

for the measurement, calibration and data management of atmospheric
greenhouse gases and related tracers were updated, with the final report to
be produced in the beginning of 2016. More information about this meeting

SEMINAR

Institute of Oceanography, National Taiwan University

*Title*
Evolution of the water masses associated with the Kuroshio from the 
Luzon Strait to the east of Taiwan

*Time and place*
Wednesday 7 October 2015, 13.15 *Please notice the change of time.*
Room C609, Arrhenius Labo0ratory, 6th floor

*Abstract*
his study examines the evolution of the Kuroshio Tropical Water (KTW) 
from the Luzon Strait to the I-Lan Ridge northeast of Taiwan. Historical 
conductivity temperature depth (CTD) profiles are analyzed using a 
method based on the calculation of the root mean square (rms) difference 
of the salinity along isopycnals. In combination with analysis of the 
distribution of the salinity maximum, this method enables water masses 
in the Kuroshio and the vicinity, to be tracked and distinguished as 
well as the detection of the areas where water masses are modified. 
Vertical and horizontal eddy diffusivities are then calculated from 
hydrographic and current velocity data to elucidate the dynamics 
underlying the KTW interactions with the surrounding water masses. 
Changes in KTW properties mainly occur in the southern half of the Luzon 
Strait, while moderate variations are observed east of Taiwan on the 
right flank of the Kuroshio.

*Title*
The atmospheric contribution to Arctic sea-ice variability

*Time and place*
Friday 16 October 2015, 10.00
Nordenskiöldsalen, Geo building, U house, floor 3

*Abstract*
The Arctic sea-ice cover plays an important role for the global climate 
system. Sea ice and the overlying snow cover reflect up to eight times 
more of the solar radiation than the underlying ocean. Hence, they are 
important for the global energy budget, and changes in the sea-ice cover 
can have a large impact on the Arctic climate and beyond. In the past 36 
years the ice cover reduced significantly. The largest decline is 
observed in September, with a rate of more than 12% per decade. The 
negative trend is accompanied by large inter-annual sea-ice variability: 
in September the sea-ice extent varies by up to 27% between years. The 
processes controlling the large variability are not well understood. In 
this thesis the atmospheric contribution to the inter-annual sea-ice 
variability is explored. The focus is specifically on the 
thermodynamical effects: processes that are associated with a 
temperature change of the ice cover and sea-ice melt. Atmospheric 
reanalysis data are used to identify key processes, while experiments 
with a state-of-the-art climate model are conducted to understand their 
relevance throughout different seasons. It is found that in years with a 
very low September sea-ice extent more heat and moisture is transported 
in spring into the area that shows the largest ice variability. The 
increased transport is often associated with similar atmospheric 
circulation patterns. Increased heat and moisture over the Arctic result 
in positive anomalies of water vapor and clouds. These alter the amount 
of downward radiation at the surface: positive cloud anomalies allow for 
more longwave radiation and less shortwave radiation. In spring, when 
the solar inclination is small, positive cloud anomalies result in an 
increased surface warming and an earlier seasonal melt onset. This 
reduces the ice cover early in the season and allows for an increased 
absorption of solar radiation by the surface during summer, which 
further accelerates the ice melt. The modeling experiments indicate that 
cloud anomalies of similar magnitude during other seasons than spring 
would likely not result in below-average September sea ice. Based on 
these results a simple statistical sea-ice prediction model is designed, 
that only takes into account the downward longwave radiation anomalies 
or variables associated with it. Predictive skills are similar to those 
of more complex models, emphasizing the importance of the spring 
atmosphere for the annual sea-ice evolution.

Dear colleagues,
I would greatly appreciate it if you could forward this e-mail to potentially interested candidates.

We have a new tenure track position open in the Aerosol Physics Research Group in Kuopio (University of Eastern Finland). One of the main research topics of the group is SOA formation and, especially, interactions of biogenic and anthropogenic emissions, their transformation in the atmosphere and finally their contribution to the cloud droplet activation. To investigate this chain we have developed a unique research environment including a measurement station designed for in-cloud measurements, and top-class laboratory facilities allowing the utilization of vehicle and biomass combustion emissions and VOC emissions from real plants in our experimental studies (group web pages: http://www2.uef.fi/sovfys/aerosolphysics).

We are inviting applications for Assistant or Associate Professor level. The field of research is atmospheric chemistry, with a special emphasis on atmospheric organic chemistry. You can find more information here: http://www.uef.fi/en/uef/en-open-positions

If you have any questions related to the position, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,
Annele

SEMINAR

*Name*
Jennifer Francis
Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences
Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey USA

*Title*
Arctic/Mid-Latitude Linkages: New Evidence, Mechanisms, Metrics, and 
Emerging Questions

*Time and place*
Thursday 15 October 2015, 14.15
Room C609, Arrhenius Laboratory, 6th floor

*Abstract*
In this presentation, I will build on analysis presented in Francis and 
Vavrus (GRL, 2012) in which mechanisms were proposed and demonstrated 
that link enhanced warming in the Arctic (Arctic amplification) during 
recent decades with changes in mid-latitude weather patterns. A flurry 
of new studies provide additional evidence for linkages that differ by 
season and region, and new metrics suggest that Arctic amplification is 
leading to more amplified jet-stream patterns and blocking. Prolonged 
weather conditions are often associated with extreme weather, such as 
droughts, cold spells, heat waves, and some flooding events, which have 
become more frequent in recent years. Recent progress is illuminating 
but also leads to new questions and unknowns, which I will discuss.

Welcome!

*Title*
Simulating Holocene Greenland ice sheet retreat in an ice sheet - earth 
system model framework

*Time and place*
Tuesday 20 October 2015, 11.15
Room C609, Arrhenius Laboratory, 6th floor

*Abstract*
The earth system model EC-Earth is a valuable tool to calculate effects 
of greenhouse gas (GHG) scenarios on various components of the climate 
system. We aim to couple a thermomechanical ice sheet model to EC-Earth 
to not only quantify effects of GHG scenarios on ice mass changes, but 
also to take into account the effects of geometrical changes of the ice 
sheet on the climate system. Preliminary steps towards a coupled model 
are undertaken.

Here we use a LGM simulation of EC-Earth to initialize a Greenland ice 
sheet model, as a starting point for a simulation of the evolution of 
the Greenland ice sheet through the Holocene. Geological evidence of ice 
sheet extent is used to constrain the size of the LGM ice sheet. An 
energy balance approach is used to calculate the surface mass balance 
(SMB) over the ice sheet, to translate atmospheric fields to a realistic 
climate forcing for the ice sheet within EC-Earth. First results point 
out that the SMB forcing from EC-Earth underestimates ablation rates, 
which hampers a realistic simulation of Holocene retreat. In addition, a 
strong negative mass balance forcing from sub-shelf melting is needed to 
reproduce Holocene ice sheet retreat rates.

Subject: [Bolincentret-at-su.se] Why the Earth Sciences Need the Social
	Sciences
Message-ID: <CAEopvZpgNMzMLOcyn3GbKFQ4QjE8Wk8rrZejHWD=kyRYmF62dA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Centre Scientists,  As international global change research moves from
the umbrella of International Geosphere Biosphere Programme to that of
Future Earth, the human dimension of the anthropocene is more and more
involved. Here is one thoughtful comment on the importance of Social
Sciences to Earth Sciences.

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-earth-sciences-need-social-roy-haggerty?trk=prof-post

Roy Haggerty Oregon State University Why the Earth Sciences Need the Social
Sciences

Oct 12, 2015
Over my career as an Earth scientist, I have occasionally heard dismissive
comments about the social sciences.  The comments have tended to suggest
that social sciences are fundamentally different than the natural sciences,
of which Earth sciences are members, and that since they are fundamentally
different, they shouldn’t be mixed.  Commenters, including social scientist
colleagues who support earth and social sciences working together, have
stated that the social and natural sciences are fundamentally different
because they are based in distinct processes.

To the contrary, the social sciences and the earth sciences share the same
fundamental processes, and earth scientists need social sciences to answer
many important questions.  Spoiler alert: we live in the Anthropocene.

Before going any further, I want to say that I define the earth sciences as
those sciences studying the ocean, atmosphere, hydrosphere, solid earth,
and the marine and terrestrial biosphere that impacts all of these.

The most basic processes that influence the earth and the human beings that
inhabit it must be the same.  Earth processes are driven at their most
fundamental level by the four physical forces – gravity, electromagneticsm,
and the strong and weak nuclear forces. No other forces are known, and in
fact, someday it may be found that these forces are a single, unified
force.  At higher levels of synthesis, electromagnetic forces and the laws
that describe them generate emergent behavior that is more easily described
as chemistry.  At higher levels of emergence we get biology and, with the
other fundamental forces, earth sciences.  At one or two higher levels of
emergence, we get social sciences.  Unless you are willing to appeal to
mystical forces, beyond the reach of science, the behavior of human beings
derives from the same four physical forces as all other sciences.  The
underlying emergent properties of chemistry and biology and, potentially,
gravity and the strong/weak nuclear forces, must govern human beings.  If
we argue that the root of human behavior and interactions are not based in
the same fundamentals as earth sciences, we are either arguing for other
forces in the universe that are unknowable to science, or that somehow when
physical processes interact with each other in a human being, they generate
new laws that are somehow disconnected from the fundamental forces.

Note: I am not arguing that we should always study the most fundamental
forces in order to understand higher-level phenomena.  This is currently
impractical.  I can’t say that it will always and forever be impractical,
but it is currently far beyond our capability to understand some emergent
processes in terms of their fundamentals.  This is one of the reasons that
universities don’t solely consist of a physics department!

The fundamentals that drive both earth and social processes are the same,
at least at their deepest levels.

Second, social processes have critical influences on earth processes.  This
has explanations both at the shallow (obvious) level and at the deep
(fundamental) level.  At the shallow level, human beings obviously
influence the Earth in myriad ways.  We are now living in the Anthropocene
– the geologic time period where the most important driver is no longer
plate tectonics, the atmosphere, water, or the biosphere, but human
activity.  Human beings now move perhaps ten times as much material on the
Earth’s surface as geologic material.  We control – though not in an
engineered sense – climate.  We are driving the Earth’s sixth mass
extinction.  This is the Anthropocene.

At the deeper level, human ideas may be the most important determinant of
the future of the planet.  Human ideas could, for example, determine if the
sixth mass extinction goes to completion or if we stop it with policies and
choices.  Human ideas – perhaps even a single human idea – could determine
whether we continue to warm the planet a century or two from now or if we
bring climate change under control.  Imagine what would happen if we find a
way to capture the energy of nuclear fusion that is both acceptably safe
and cheaper than fossil fuels.  We know of no physical laws that would
prevent this from being true, which means that it is only a matter of
finding out how to make it so. If we could find a safe and cheap way to
capture the energy of nuclear fusion, then within a generation or so,
fossil energy would be overtaken by fusion energy.  Carbon dioxide
emissions to the atmosphere would start to decline, and we would begin to
slow the warming of the atmosphere.  Of course, safe, cheap fusion would
almost certainly come with its own set of challenges, but that is the
history of human ideas.  In any case, human beings are now powerful enough
that the future course of earth history depends more on humanity – on
social processes – than on many traditional earth science processes.

While it is clear that human ideas have the capability to radically change
the future of the Earth, we have very limited capacity to predict the
evolution of those ideas and how they will shape society.  To make such
predictions, we need a better understanding of human beings.  That is the
domain of social sciences.

Earth sciences and social sciences are cut from the same fabric of the
universe, and Earth sciences are now dependent on the social sciences
understanding some aspects of our planet.  We should learn to work together.

(ICSU), renewed the agreement between the respective organizations to host
the ICSU World Data System's International Programme Office (WDS-IPO) at
NICT for a further five-year period starting from 1 April 2016 and ending
31 March 2021.

Dr Hackmann addressed her sincere thanks to NICT and its Vice President on
behalf of ICSU and WDS for the generous and increased financial support
given to the IPO. She noted that without NICT’s lasting commitment and
intellectual contributions, the WDS programme could not have achieved its
current international standing or made a significant impact in the area of
scientific data sharing and management.

The signing ceremony took place on 21 September 2015 at the ICSU
Secretariat in Paris, during the 13th Meeting of the WDS Scientific
Committee (see below). At the meeting, NICT hosted a special workshop on *Data
Sharing and Information Technologies*, the keynote presentation of
which was given by Dr Tomita, who highlighted some of the important
contributions of NICT in his talk on *Open and Global ICT Innovation
Platform for Future Smarter Communication World*.

The 13th Meeting of the WDS Scientific Committee (WDS-SC) took place on
21–22 September at the ICSU Secretariat in Paris, France. This was the
initial face-to-face meeting of the third WDS Scientific Committee
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=25b9f991e8&e=cf85b312a2>,
appointed by the ICSU Executive Board in July for the period 2015–2018. The
Meeting started with a (virtual) handover from the previous Chair of the
WDS-SC, Bernard Minister, to the new Chair, Sandy Harrison, and also saw
the election of Ingrid Dillo and Wim Hugo as Vice-chairs.

Heide Hackmann (ICSU Executive Director) began a series of introductory
talks by giving the new WDS-Scientific Committee insight into ICSU's vision
and the role of WDS within this. The agenda then continued over the
following two days with focussed discussions on a number of items of
strategic importance to ICSU-WDS, including finalizing a set of Data
Sharing Principles that are expected to be adopted in place of the current WDS
Data Policy
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=cf73c0c30d&e=cf85b312a2>

*22:00 UTC on 5 November 2015*, Professor Emile Okal (Department of
Geological Sciences at Northwestern University, Evanston, USA) will
present *Historical
Seismograms: Preserving an Endangered Species*

the seventh talk in WDS' Webinar series.

Archived datasets of historical seismograms are extremely valuable to
understand the occurrence of large, destructive earthquakes. Unfortunately,
the value of these datasets is not always perceived. Professor Okal will
present a brief review of the nature of the datasets of seismological
archives, and of specific algorithms allowing their use. He will then
describe protocols for the transfer of analogue datasets to digital
supports. Finally, worldwide examples of existing collections, and of
successful programmes of digital archiving of valuable datasets will be
given.

10–29 August 2015, 29 trainees from 9 Asian countries attended a 20-day
training workshop in Bejing, China entitled the *International Workshop on
Northeast Asia–Central Asia Regional Resources and Environment Data Sharing*
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=3de5f073cd&e=cf85b312a2>.
This workshop was hosted by the Institute of Geographic Science and Natural
Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Science and was co-sponsored
by ICSU-WDS and the World Data Centre for Renewable Resources and
Environment
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=d375b2b48f&e=cf85b312a2>
(WDS Regular Member).

The training was set in a multidisciplinary context and addressed a broad
range of issues related to scientific data sharing, including policies,
standards, technologies, methods, and good practices from national,
regional, and international perspectives. On the final day, Dr Mustapha
Mokrane was invited to give a lecture on the development of ICSU-WDS and
the global data sharing landscape.
Data from IPY Publications Now Available in PANGAEA

<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=775a6f5d78&e=cf85b312a2>
Despite the vast amounts of data collected during the last International
Polar Year (IPY) 2007–2008
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=3b285eab43&e=cf85b312a2>,
there was no central archive for IPY-related data. Instead they have been
spread widely, with a lot of the data published in research articles only.

A concerted effort among PANGAEA – Data Publisher for Earth and
Environmental Science
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=76420a6c72&e=cf85b312a2>

and ICSU-WDS was therefore undertaken to extract data resulting from IPY
publications for long-term preservation. From a list of 1380 references
provided by ICSTI, data—and associated metadata—were extracted from 450 IPY
articles. These data can be accessed from *here*
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=cb3bb2673a&e=cf85b312a2>,
and individual parts can be searched using the PANGAEA search engine

has the theme *International Collaboration for Advancing Polar Data Access
and Preservation* and looks to build on successes of the first Forum, which
identified priority themes and key challenges in the domain of polar data
management (see here
<http://icsu-wds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3b0a30b533eb5deaa5c36c702&id=14f9994b81&e=cf85b312a2>
for a Communiqué of the outcomes). Polar Data Forum II will further refine
these themes and priorities, and will accelerate progress by establishing
clear actions to address target issues, including: meeting the needs of
society and science through promotion of open data and effective data
stewardship, establishing sharing and interoperability of data at a variety
of levels, developing trusted data management systems, and ensuring
long-term data preservation.

Dear all,

as some of you may know, I am currently at Nanyang Technical University in
Singapore (http://www.ntu.edu.sg/Pages/home.aspx) and more precisely at the
Earth Observatory of Singapore (http://www.earthobservatory.sg/). Several
of the researchers here have expressed interest in a closer collaboration
with IGV and therefore I would like to explore whether such an interest
also exists among Bolin centre  researchers.

EOS has fur main themes: Tectonics, Volcano, Climate and Society and also
runs the Asian School of the Environment.

Please let me know what your thoughts are and whether you have any specific
interests in terms of research and also regarding student exchange.

Best wishes from Singapore (where haze levels are still very high due to
the ongoing forest fires in Indonesia)

Barbara

*Title*
Evaluation of climate model simulations by means of statistical methods

*Time and place*
Tuesday 17 November 2015, 13.00
Room 306, building 6, Kräftriket, Department of Mathematics

*Abstract*
Evaluation of climate models is a key issue within climate research. The statistical framework proposed by Sundberg et al., 2012, provides a theoretical underpinning of methods for evaluation of climate model simulations by use of climate proxy data from the last millennium. In the present work, the statistical framework above is used to suggest several latent factor models of different complexity that can be used for estimating the amplitude of a forcing effect in a climate model by comparison with the observed/reconstructed climate. The performance of the models is evaluated and compared in a pseudo-proxy experiment, in which the true unobservable temperature series is replaced by selected realizations of a climate simulation model. For different levels of added noise, different conclusions can be drawn. However, for realistic noise levels, we find that the simplest model, the just-identified two-indicator one-factor model, denoted j.i.FA(2,1), is a competitive alternative to models with more complicated structure. Moreover, we discover that the Fieller method of constructing confidence regions, associated with the j.i.FA(2,1)-model, outperforms the Wald confidence interval, which in most cases fails to provide sensible and interpretable conclusions about the climate model under consideration. Last but not least, the results indicate a good performance of the j.i.FA(2,1)-model even in the presence of heteroscedasticity.

*Welcome!*
