Applicants must be international researchers working and residing outside of Canada; this includes expatriates wishing to return to Canada.
One of the key strategic priority areas is environment, climate resilience, and the Arctic.
Please see the announcement above for further details. 3/3

CIRC holders will receive one of two award values:
$8 million over eight years ($1 million per year); or
$4 million over eight years ($500,000 per year)
depending on research costs/needs. There is also the potential for a four-year extension at a rate of 50% of the initial award value. 2/3
Western University is seeking applications for the Canada Impact+ Research Chairs (CIRC) program, which aims to attract world-leading researchers to come and work at Canadian universities: www.uwo.ca/research/can... 1/3
Démantèlement du NCAR : une déclaration importante de la direction du CNRS-INSU
NCAR’s Mesa Lab is literally a science castle dedicated to understanding our planet in an open and collaborative way, and leading the world in that effort. We cannot let this happen.
NCAR is a unique & valuable asset - far more than a climate model, or observations, or technology, or training ground, or gathering space. It covers weather, space weather, data, climate, paleo-climate, and everything in-between. It's building is an icon, but it's iconic status goes far beyond that.
The beautiful idea of NCAR, to improve understanding of our planet through a cooperative, shared and open intellectual team effort, is literally what has got me out of bed every morning for nearly two decades. This cannot, CANNOT be allowed to happen.

We're looking forward to collaborating with all participating model groups!
The 1st Phase of the Calibrated Land Model Intercomparison Project (CalLMIP) was launched today!
For more information see the website: callmip-org.github.io
A recording of the webinar can be found on the website under "Events" -> "CalLMIP 1st Phase Community Launch"
Collatz, Berry, Clark, Sellers and colleagues practicing open data policies since the mid 90s :-)
On Monday 10th @14:00 BST |15:00 CET |07:00 MT, the International Land Model Forum and ISI-MIP are hosting a joint webinar. Topics will include:
The design of ISIMIP experiments,
Harmonization of forcing and land-use data,
Shared challenges e.g. generating sub-daily forcings for offline forcing.
Thank you!! :-)
I'm biased I guess but IMO an awesome review of DA and ML methods for parameter estimation in land surface models, a brief history (we couldn't fit everything in!), plus remaining challenges and potential solutions. Hopefully especially useful for ECRs new to the field! 2/2
Out today in JAMES!! Parameter Estimation in Land Surface Models: Challenges and Opportunities With Data Assimilation and Machine Learning doi.org/10.1029/2024... led by Nina Raoult, Natalie Douglas, @janasknits.bsky.social, @tquaife.bsky.social, me, and an awesome team of folks in the community 1/2
Great idea thanks Rosie! Please add me!
