CESM Winter Working Group registration is open. We will have one for Climate Justice in Earth System Modeling later in the spring www.cesm.ucar.edu/events/worki...

Our new paper (led by @janasillmann.bsky.social) consolidates and refines a lot of the learning that took place at the @wcrpclimate.bsky.social Open Science Conference in Kigali, Rwanda last year. Paper led by session leaders and participants showing how extreme events link with climate services.
