You are welcome to participate in any part of the programme that you are interested in, just drop in. (No Tuesday seminar this week) Time and Place Monday Oct 9th 10.00 to Tuesday Oct 10th 16.00 Rossbysalen C609, Arrhenius Laboratory, 6th floor (Photo: Researching ocean circulation with the help of seals.) On Thursday Oct 12th, our new PhD student Sebastian Scher presents his master project: Mid-Latitude storms sensitive to SST-gradients? The Gulf Stream region is one of the world's major regions of cyclogenesis. [cid:image006.jpg at 01D33C6A.1B552080] The strong SST-gradients constituting the Gulf Stream are known to play a role in this. But how are single storms influenced by the presence of the Gulf Stream? Is there a typical response of storms to the presence of the Gulf Stream, or does every storm respond differently? During his master research at KNMI (the Dutch equivalent of SMHI), Sebastian Scher tried to answer this question. Via simulating a number of storm cases with the NWP-model HARMONIE, it is shown that the response of storms is manifold. Two physical mechanism are proposed to explain how the Gulf Stream influences the development of mid-latitude storms.

The host this time is Research Area 7 = Landscape processes and climate. The Forest Cover – Water Yield Debate: Implications for land management in Ethiopia Speaker: Professor Kevin Bishop, Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment, Pro Vice-Chancellor, SLU, Uppsala Date: TOMORROW Tuesday October 10, 11h00–12h00 Place: Högbomsalen, Geoscience Building The lecture will be streamed and you can watch it live here https://connect.sunet.se/bolincentre. It will also be saved on the Bolin Centre website. Abstract: "Are forests good for water?” remains a hotly contested scientific question. Despite both its importance and apparent simplicity, we have difficulty knowing enough about how the water regime reacts to land use change to make water-wise decisions regarding the forest management alternatives facing individuals, communities and governments. In the face of global warming and climate change, the preservation and extension of forest cover is likely to play an increasingly important role in the maintenance and improvement of available water supply. But given the complexity of the science, and the scale issues involved when contrasting local management vs. regional and global issues, it is difficult to know how to include water in forest management. Using the situation in Ethiopia as a starting point, the relation between land cover and water over the past half century has been explored using both traditional methods (runoff records, statistical analysis, and change detection modeling), as well as an exploration of community perception.

Abstracts submission is already open. http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2018/session/26730 *Dynamical Extremes in Climate Science* NP2.2/AS1.9/CL2.11 In this session we propose to group together the conventional atmospheric sciences and recent mathematical approaches to the study of weather extremes. We wish to highlight the complementary nature of these two viewpoints, with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of extremes. We welcome contributions approaching weather and climate extremes from both a traditional atmospheric physics perspective and a statistical mechanics/dynamical systems one. http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2018/session/27831 *Boundary Layers in High Latitudes* AS2.3/CR8.2/OS1.17/SSS13.1 This session is intended to provide an interdisciplinary forum bringing together researchers working with boundary-layer processes, weather and climate at high-latitudes. Changes in the Arctic and Antarctic climate system are strongly related to processes in the boundary layer and their feedbacks with the free atmosphere. These processes include atmosphere-ocean-ice interactions, exchange of chemical constituents and aerosols, polynya and sea-ice production formation processes, and deep-water formation. Related interactions with synoptic-scale weather and mesoscale phenomena and studies of the effect of warm air advection and clouds on the surface energy budget are also welcome. http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2018/session/26347 *Clouds, Aerosols, Radiation and Precipitation* (General Session) AS1.41 Clouds and aerosols play a key role in climate and weather-related processes over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This session aims to link research activities in observations and modelling of radiative, dynamical and microphysical processes of clouds and aerosols and their interactions. We look forwards to receiving your abstracts, and please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.

First position - SLU Uppsala Postdoc position in modelling plant-plant and plant-environment interactions Deadline for applications: November 5th, 2017 (Apply by sending an email to registrator at slu.se, referring to the opening code 3718/2017 and attaching the relevant documents as pdf) Contact person: Giulia Vico giulia.vico at slu.se More information and application instructions can be found below and at http://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/jobs-vacancies/read-more/?eng=1&Pid=6473 Second position - Stockholm University Postdoctoral position in eco-hydrological modelling Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University Deadline for applications: November 10th, 2017 (apply at http://www.su.se/english/about/working-at-SU/jobs?rmpage=job&rmjob=4147&rmlang=UK ) Contact person: Stefano Manzoni stefano.manzoni at natgeo.su.se More information and application instructions can be found below and at http://www.su.se/english/about/working-at-su/jobs?rmlang=UK&rmpage=job&rmjob=4147 It would be great if you could share this information among colleagues and potentially interested candidates. Best regards, Stefano Manzoni and Giulia Vico Full description of the first position - SLU Postdoc position in modelling plant-plant and plant-environment interactions Food security and sustainable use of resources are central to the United Nations Sustainable Developmental Goals by 2030. Improved management of agroecosystems and available resources will be necessary to meet these challenging goals. Among management practices, increasing the diversity of crop systems has been suggested as a way to enhance productivity, resource use efficiency and resilience to environmental fluctuations, and decrease the frequency of pests and disease outbreaks. To exploit in full this possibility, it is necessary to determine the mechanisms promoting positive plant-plant and plant-environment interactions, as well as identify the most suitable plant mixtures for specific pedo-climatic conditions. We seek a highly motivated postdoc to work with existing mathematical process-based models and to develop novel ones describing plant-plant and plant-environment interactions and their impacts on: crop yields and their stability in the face of biotic and abiotic stressors; efficiency of resource use; and provision of ecosystem service. This position will be associated with the project "DIVERSify - Designing InnoVative plant teams for Ecosystem Resilience and agricultural Sustainability", funded within the EU Horizon 2020 framework. DIVERSify aims at optimizing the performance of crop species mixtures to improving agricultural productivity and sustainability, combining field experiments, modelling approaches, and stakeholder involvement (www.plant-teams.eu/). The postdoc will be based at the Department of Crop Production Ecology in Uppsala. The research conducted within the Department generally aims at improving crop productivity and sustainability. The Department is part of the Ecology Center, which offers a stimulating research environment. The location in Uppsala facilitates further collaborations with researchers at Uppsala University, Stockholm University and KTH. Duties: The project will focus on developing, evaluating, and applying process-based mathematical models for the assessment of plant-plant and plant-environment interactions, in arable systems and grasslands. The work will include the use of existing crop models and the development of novel process-based mathematical models, as well as analyses of eco-physiological, environmental and climatic datasets, both existing ones and those collected as part of DIVERSify. Qualifications: Applicants shall hold a PhD in ecology, earth and environmental sciences, agronomy, biology, mathematics, or related fields. Applicants shall also have research experience and interest in eco-hydrological or crop models (coupling plants, ecosystems, and environmental conditions). A working knowledge of MatLab, R, or other computational environments and/or previous experience with crop models like APSIM and Daisy are merits. The applicant should have a demonstrated ability to independently initiate, conduct, and complete research projects and to generate and publish the findings in international peer-reviewed journals. The candidate must have strong written and oral communication skills in English, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications and presentations at professional meetings. Application: Please submit your application to the Registrar of SLU, registrator at slu.se, no later than November 5, 2017, quoting reference SLU ua 3718/2017. The application package shall include i) a short letter of motivation, highlighting current research interests and other activities of relevance for the position; ii) curriculum vitae; iii) publication list; iv) a two-page research statement and vision; v) the names and contact information of at least two professional references familiar with the applicant's qualifications; and vi) copies of degrees and transcripts of academic records. It is preferable that the documents i)-iv) are submitted in English. Full description of the second position - Stockholm University The Department of Physical Geography seeks to employ a postdoctoral researcher to investigate theoretically and experimentally the relations between plant functional diversity and ecosystem productivity. Biodiversity is recognized to improve crop and forest productivity, and to foster hydrologic and biogeochemical cycles, thereby providing key ecosystem services. However, the mechanistic reasons for such roles are not clear. To address this question, willow short rotation coppice systems where variety mixtures can be used to improve stand productivity are considered as a case study. These systems are highly relevant for biomass production and offer an ideal experimental system. By looking at plant functional traits that have an effect on resource use, the project aims at testing the hypothesis that trait diversity intensifies resource use, leading to higher productivity and carbon storage, and reduced nutrient losses. This hypothesis is tested by a combined experimental and modelling approach that exploits ongoing field experiments throughout Europe. Main responsibilities The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible to develop and implement coupled hydrologic-biogeochemical models of the soil-plant system that explicitly include the role of plant diversity. Coupled to such modelling, the postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for conducting a growth container experiment (in highly controlled conditions) designed to test the project hypotheses; the obtained data will support model developments. The chosen candidate is also expected to lead the writing of articles on these topics and present results at international conferences. Qualification requirements Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country. Assessment criteria The degree should have been completed no more than three years before the deadline for applications. An older degree may be acceptable under special circumstances, which may involve sick leave, parental leave, clinical attachment, elected positions in trade unions, or similar. In the appointment process, special attention will be given to candidates with degrees in a relevant discipline (engineering, hydrology, ecology, geosciences) and a strong computational and mathematical background. Proven experience with computer programming (e.g. Matlab, R, Mathematica) for model code development is vital. Practical experience with plant eco-physiological measurements is beneficial. In addition, demonstrated knowledge of (1) water and carbon dynamics in the soil-plant-atmosphere system; (2) theories linking plant functional diversity to ecosystem function; (3) stochastic processes and optimization theories is advantageous. Experience synthesizing data and modelling analysis across several field sites and publishing in top-level journals in English is also important.

Apologies for cross-postings. Best wishes Nina ----------------------------------------------- The Department of Geography at Durham University, UK, is currently seeking to appoint THREE outstanding individuals at Assistant Professor. 1. Assistant Professor in reconstructing palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironmental change- https://www.dur.ac.uk/resources/hr/recruitment/academicrecruitment2017/GEOG18-4JD_060917.pdf Research expertise in reconstructing past climates and/or environmental change, to complement and/or expand our existing research profile. We welcome applications from candidates who have experience in analysing terrestrial, lacustrine and/or marine archives. (Deadline = 24 Nov 2017) 2. Assistant Professor in sea level change - https://www.dur.ac.uk/resources/hr/recruitment/academicrecruitment2017/GEOG18-4JD_060917.pdf Research specializing in sea level change, with expertise that complements and/or expands our existing interests and expertise on (i) long-term trends in both tropical and high-latitude regions; (ii) records of abrupt events (e.g. earthquake induced change); and (iii) monitoring of recent and ongoing coastal evolution. (Deadline = 24 Nov 2017) 3. Assistant Professor in Earth surface dynamics and geohazards - https://www.dur.ac.uk/resources/hr/recruitment/academicrecruitment2017/GEOG18-2JD_060917.pdf An individual to complement and extend our world-leading research into the rates, patterns and drivers of environmental processes, in which we seek to understand and predict how they control sediment transfers, biogeochemical reactions, carbon fluxes across landscapes and geohazards. (Deadline = 2 Jan 2018) We have exceptional laboratory facilities to support these posts. Recent investments include a multisensory core logger, XRF scanner, X-ray facility, GC-MS and GC-IRMS for compound-specific isotope analysis, alongside IC, ICP-MS and ICP-OES for inorganic trace and major element analyses. A range of materials (pollen, diatoms, foraminifera and organic biomarkers) are routinely prepared and analysed. Our field equipment includes advanced laser scanning equipment and vehicles, a boat and several UAVs, alongside an extensive suite of GIS and remote sensing software and back pressure shear boxes and stress path cells in the Landslide laboratory. and Outwith the department, we work closely with numerous interdisciplinary initiatives in the University. Many staff contribute to the pan-University Institute for Hazard, Risk and Resilience.

Next week’s Tuesday seminar is a part of the workshop on Arctic air mass transformations, held at MISU Nov 7-9.

These processes are also involved in substantial feedback mechanisms in the climate system. Numerical models, both for weather forecasts and climate applications, have been shown to have large biases in polar regions that may originate from these parameterized processes. An innovative single column model framework has been developed. It builds on the more commonly used atmosphere-only and ocean-only frameworks and extends to capture the entire system from ocean bottom, through the sea ice and snow, to the top-of-atmosphere. The framework will be explained in the presentation and some initial test cases and comparison to observational data will be provided. Welcome!
