Climate Science conferences

Under the theme Aspiration, Action, Anticipation: AI for Science Looking to 2030, this summit asks how AI is already changing scientific practice and how research may develop over the next few years. Researchers will examine scientific reasoning and discovery alongside applications in cancer biology, climate and weather prediction, animal behaviour and cosmology. Talks, discussion and a poster session connect methodological advances with practical scientific problems. Confirmed contributors include Max Welling, Hana Aliee, Boris Bolliet, Cait Newport, Richard Turner, Neil Lawrence, Stephen Roberts and Sadiq Jaffer. The summit takes place on 24 November, 10:00–18:00, at Churchill College, Cambridge; times are Europe/London, GMT (UTC+00:00). The organizer’s event-specific registration form confirms that online participation is available for remote attendees. In-person places are limited and offered first come, first served, with a waiting list once full. Register using the linked Microsoft Form.

AGU26 brings the Earth and space science community to San Francisco on 7–11 December 2026 for research presentations, scientific exchange, workshops and professional development. The programme spans Earth, planetary and space sciences, with opportunities for collaboration across disciplines. The organizer lists 29 September as the late-breaking abstract deadline; the standard abstract round has already closed. The official event site provides registration, travel and programme updates for the meeting at the Moscone Center.

The annual meeting brings together research on weather, climate, hydrology, oceans and related environmental systems. Its conferences and symposia cover atmospheric chemistry, climate variability, observing systems, satellite measurements, modelling and communication of scientific information. The 2027 theme emphasizes education and the use of Earth-system knowledge by people and communities. Scientific sessions, professional exchanges and short courses are offered alongside in-person and online participation.

The tenth national and first international Ocean Society of India conference brings ocean, atmospheric and Earth scientists together around research and applications. Topics span physical, chemical and biological oceanography, marine geology and geophysics, ocean–atmosphere interactions, engineering, marine microbiology, the blue economy, bioinformatics, satellite and in-situ observations, modeling, changing monsoons, polar regions and renewable energy. Plenary lectures, contributed research and early-career and interdisciplinary sessions connect scientific advances to societal needs.

The congress examines Quaternary environmental and human history and its practical relevance to society. Themes include climate archives, geological hazards, sediments and heritage, the Anthropocene, chronology, data synthesis and modelling. Studies of glaciers, rivers, deserts, wetlands and coasts connect past changes with questions about present food, water, environmental and settlement security. Scientific presentations are accompanied by workshops and optional excursions through Indian geological and archaeological settings. Presenters must pay by 30 October 2026; field-trip registration also closes that day. Delayed and onsite registration continues through the congress closing date.

The society’s 33rd conference presents research on weather, oceans and climate, from fundamental processes to applications in forecasting, infrastructure, agriculture, health and ecosystems. Sessions cover extreme and compound events, hydroclimate, polar systems, ocean and coastal processes, atmospheric composition, climate variability, high-resolution modelling and machine learning. A second stream examines warning services, adaptation, Indigenous knowledge, education and the use of science in industry and policy. Workshops take place on 8 February, followed by conference proceedings on 9–12 February. Abstract submissions closed on 6 September 2026. Presenters must register by 1 December, which is also the end of the early-bird discount.

The fourth ILTER Open Science Meeting brings long-term ecological research communities together around biodiversity, biological invasions, climate extremes, resilience and sustainability. Proposed themes connect food, energy and water systems, urban and human-influenced environments, and the distinctive value of long-term observations. The programme includes scientific sessions, working groups and training activities, linking sustained monitoring with ecological understanding and environmental responses.

The meeting examines disputed and unresolved questions about rapidly changing Arctic and Southern oceans. It brings circulation, ecology and biogeochemistry together to consider sea-ice loss, freshwater inputs, deep-water formation, primary production and climate-active aerosols. Sessions emphasize why these processes remain difficult to measure and explain, including feedbacks on planetary reflectivity and atmospheric composition. Comparisons with ancient ice-covered oceans and oceans on other worlds broaden the discussion. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.

EGU 2027 meets in Vienna and online, 4–9 April, covering Earth, planetary and space sciences. Abstract deadline: 12 January 2027. The European Geosciences Union hosts scientific sessions, short courses and geoscience panels at the Austria Center Vienna and online. Abstract submissions, support applications and author invitation-letter requests begin on 28 October 2026. Financial-support applications close on 1 December 2026 at 13:00 CET; abstracts close on 12 January 2027 at 13:00 CET. Reduced early registration ends on 8 March 2027. The session-proposal stage closed on 23 September 2026. The organizer also publishes separate townhall and splinter-meeting milestones.

The conference examines Caribbean climate resilience through research, policy and practical adaptation. Themes include coastal and marine systems, food security, infrastructure, renewable energy, circular resource use and climate justice. Scientific data, AI and other analytical tools are considered alongside education, financing and regional cooperation. Researchers, practitioners and community participants will discuss approaches that connect climate knowledge with feasible responses to regional challenges.

The meeting connects ocean observations and research with policy and practical action for a resilient Western Pacific. Scientific sessions address marine ecosystems, climate and human pressures, while UN Ocean Decade activities connect current projects and incubate new collaborations. The conference brings together researchers, government agencies and other ocean stakeholders to present new knowledge and technologies, assess regional progress and develop science-based responses to sustainability challenges. Abstracts for 34 scientific sessions close on 15 November 2026.

The symposium investigates how exchanges between land ice and the atmosphere control glacier mass balance and sea-level contributions. Surface energy, albedo, firn hydrology, aquifers and impermeable ice layers are considered alongside atmospheric circulation and boundary-layer processes. Field observations, satellite measurements, numerical models and machine-learning emulators will be used to examine nonlinear feedbacks and improve projections of ice-sheet and glacier change. The International Glaciological Society convenes researchers studying both local surface processes and their representation in climate models.

The conference connects observations, physical theory, modelling and machine learning to address persistent questions about the Earth system. Sessions bring different methods to bear on radiative transfer, aerosols, clouds, climate predictability and decision-relevant understanding. Researchers working across spatial and temporal scales will examine how increasingly extensive measurements and simulations can improve causal explanations and predictions of environmental change. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.

The meeting examines how chemical processes in the atmosphere affect air quality, health and environmental change. It connects field observations, laboratory experiments and numerical models across established and emerging pollutants, indoor exposure, urban emissions, wildfire chemistry, aerosols and condensed phases. Sessions also consider global atmospheric effects and the use of generative AI in chemical modelling. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.
