Dear Colleagues,
The IUGG 2019 General Assembly will take place July 8-18. See http://iugg2019montreal.com/ for more information about this meeting.
This is to invite you to submit abstracts to the following Symposium on Earth System Models at IUGG 2019. It is an inter-association symposium involving IAMAS, IAPSO, IACS, and IAHS.
- Abstract submission deadline is February 18, 2019.
- The IAMAS and related joint symposiums will take place July 9-13, 2019.
- Please identify Interassociation Symposium JM08 when you submit your abstract.
- Abstract submission and registration information can be found at http://iugg2019montreal.com/
Regards,
Paul

JM08 - EARTH SYSTEM MODELS: ASSESSING THE EARTH SYSTEM'S STATE AND FATE FROM REGIONAL TO PLANETARY SCALES (IAMAS , IAPSO, IACS, IAHS)
Convener: Paul Kushner (Canada, IAMAS)
Co-Conveners: Nathan Gillet (Canada, IAMAS), Marika Holland (USA, IAPSO), Gerhard Krinner (France, IACS), Sophie Nowicki (USA, IACS), Manuela Girotto (USA, IAHS), Stephen Déry (Canada, IAHS)
Earth System Models provide our principal means to simulate Earth System processes and to predict the evolution of the planet. Each generation of Earth System Models, including components that simulate the atmosphere, oceans, land, vegetation, ice, snow, and the dynamical and biogeochemical processes that link these components, has provided new insights into the workings of the Earth System, predictions from seasonal to decadal scales, and projections of the future of the planet under greenhouse warming and other sources of radiative and compositional driving. These models have progressively simulated finer scales, and through regional refinement or downscaling can be used to investigate regional-scale climate processes and impacts. This symposium encourages contributions dealing with the many facets of Earth System Model development and application, including new modelling results from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6, development and assessment of models making use of recent Earth observations from ground-based and space-based measurements, prediction of climate on seasonal to centennial timescales, climate change detection and attribution, regional-scale climate modelling and process analysis, high resolution climate modelling, and subgrid scale parameterization development. As a joint symposium, submissions on the latest advances in Earth System Modeling across the atmospheric, biogeochemical, oceanic, cryospheric, and hydrological sciences are encouraged.
Confirmed invited speakers: Hélène Seroussi (NASA), Melissa Wrzesien (UNC Chapel Hill)
