We’re glad to share that registrations are now open for the 3rd #I4C Climate #Adaptalab in Bergen!
As EXPECT’s sister project, we’re excited to see participants co-develop policy briefs supporting climate adaptation decision-making across Europe 🌍
Registrations are open until 15 May 👇
What drives Western European heatwaves, and why are they intensifying? 🌍🔥
A new study shows a single atmospheric circulation pattern explains most events, and a large share of warming.

#ClimateScience #Heatwaves #MachineLearning
We don’t just advance climate science; we make it accessible. That’s the idea behind our Science Explainers!
In this new series, researchers answer key questions about their work, from climate models to machine learning, making complex science clearer.

How can deep learning support climate science?
During a workshop in Hamburg (10–12 March 2026), participants gained hands-on experience using #DeepLearning methods on climate data, focusing on building robust and reproducible workflows for classification, gap-infilling, and downscaling.

#EXPECT
Can today’s infrastructure handle tomorrow’s climate?
In our first #EXPECT Science Explainer, Hamed D. Ibrahim shows how regional climate data improves models of rainfall, runoff & urban water systems for a resilient future.

Are you aware of the two distinct summer circulation trend patterns in the Northern Hemisphere?
🔹US–Atlantic
🔹Eurasia
They explain up to 26% of regional temperature trends, yet most CMIP6 models tend to miss them👉 bit.ly/3JYmi5t
