Europe/Rome The two-week international school will bring together international experts and train Master & PhD students and early career scientists in Earthquake and Tsunami Physics so that each participant has a better understanding of the range of circumstances and knowledge related to seismic hazard in the region. The aim is to raise national capability in the vulnerable countries and increase their resilience, through an ad-hoc advanced training and also favor international cooperation among the school participants also in the framework of the North African Group for Earthquake and Tsunami studies. The programme will involve a series of lectures, seminars, exercises and discussion sessions in Earthquake and Tsunami sciences. For those interested in presenting their research work during the conference (oral and poster) an abstract should be uploaded directly to the online application. Topics: Theoretical Seismology Observational and Computational Seismology Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting Earthquake Hazard and Strong Ground Motion Tsunami Physics and Hazard Tunis - Tunisia ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome > > IMPORTANT: THE SCHOOL IS POSTPONED TO 2019 < < West African climate is characterized by complex atmospheric dynamics and growing anthropogenic pressures. These pressures, combined with climate change and variability, have many environmental impacts. Regional climate models include now capabilities such as interactive coupling with oceans, surface hydrology, atmospheric chemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Combined with process study and observation analysis, such systems are interesting frameworks for impact assessments over West Africa. However their complexity is such that they require high computing power and appropriate “know-how”. This point has motivated the recent development of a supercomputing center at the University of Abidjan. In this context, the school proposes theoretical and practical computing sessions on regional climate and environmental modeling. It is co-organized with the final conference of the DACCIWA project (https://www.dacciwa.eu/) so that participants can benefit from both of these events. Participants are required to have a pre-existing background in Atmospheric / Earth system science and be familiar with Linux/Unix environment. English will be the spoken language during theoretical and practical sessions. Topics: Basis of regional climate and Earth System modeling Examples of climate and Earth system studies over sub-Saharan Africa Extensive hands-on regional climate and Earth system modeling sessions using HPC facilities Review and discussion of on-going projects involving climate and Earth system modeling over sub-Saharan Africa Beyond the school : Identification of regional working groups, projects and networks Abidjan - Cote d'Ivoire ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome The school will focus on the organization of convection in the tropics and its possible implications for climate sensitivity. Some idealized convection permitting models show spontaneous clustering of convection can occur, drying the tropical atmosphere and increasing infrared emission to space. This effect could imply a strong negative feedback on the climate that may be missing or poorly represented in global climate models. However, there is open debate concerning the mechanisms involved, the implications for climate, the evidence in the observations, the role of shallow clouds and convection, the spatial scales of instability and the connection of this idealized aggregation to common examples of tropical organization such as the Madden Julian Oscillation or tropical cyclones. The event will consist of a one-week school, with some introductory lectures and the chance to work with observations and model output to address questions related to convective organization. In the second week, participants will benefit from open debate with over 20 of the world’s leading scientists in the field. Experts will work with student groups to summarize the debates in position papers, including results from the first week’s exercises. Topics: • Models of radiative-convective equilibrium • Convective organization in high resolution models • Evidence for organization in observations • Implications for climate and climate sensitivity • Representation in global models and their parameterization schemes • Connection to MJO, hurricanes and other examples of convective organization Invited speakers include: Biasutti, Michela, IRI Columbia U., USA Bordoni, Simona, Caltech, USA Bretherton, Chris, Seattle U., USA Chaboreau, Jean-Pierre, Toulouse U./CNRS, France Craig, George, LMU, Germany Emanuel, Kerry, MIT, USA Grabowski, Wojciech, UCAR, USA Jakob, Christian, Monash, Australia Khairoutdinov, Marat, Stonybrook U., USA Khouider, Boualem, Victoria U., Canada Mapes, Brian, RSMAS Miami, USA Moncrieff, Mitch, UCAR, USA Neelin, David, UCLA, USA Pincus, Rob, NOAA, USA Randall, David, CSU, USA Semie Gezahegn, Addisu, LMD, France Sherwood,Steve, UNSW,Australia Stevens, Bjorn, MPI, Germany Stirling, Alison, Met Office, U.K. Vallis, Geoff K., Exeter U., U.K. Wing, Allison, FSU, USA Woolnough, Steve, Reading U., U.K. Yang, Da, Berkley U., USA Zuidema, Paquita, RSMAS Miami, USA ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it
