Science Serving Society
The Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) 56th Congress, the Canadian Geophysical Union (CGU) Annual Meeting, and the 78th Eastern Snow Conference (ESC) will be held jointly over a 6-day period, 1-3 June 2022 and continuing 6-8 June 2022. Due to the continuing impact and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the joint meetings will be held using a virtual (online) format. More detailed information will be posted as it becomes available on the Congress website.
The theme of the joint meeting is "Science Serving Society", recognizing that the science we all do provides an essential service to our society. This ranges from discovery that pushes the boundaries of our understanding, to the provision of climate, water, weather, oceanic and geophysical services (including policy and regulation development), and even extends to the development of the effective mechanisms for the delivery of services to stakeholders and the users of our work. The organizers hope that this Congress will help maintain and sharpen the focus of the broad professional community on the science while also paying specific attention to the specific needs of users. Proposals for scientific sessions are being invited for all areas of CMOS, CGU, and ESC interest, especially relating to the following areas:
- Advances in observational science including new and updated data sets, methodologies, campaigns and instruments
- Advances in our understanding of observed variability and change, including process knowledge and the ability to represent those processes in models
- Advances in predicting and projecting future variation and change on all times scales
- All aspects of extremes, past, present and future
- Applied science and the development and evaluation of user services
- Service delivery mechanisms
The abstract submission deadline is February 28, 2022.
