SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE WORKSHOP
The need and potential to study the climatic changes witnessed in the Indian subcontinent over the Quaternary period is known, understood and felt by common man, scientists/researchers and the government. The workshop will address the full array of paleoclimate research key to the broader scientific questions related to climatic changes during the Quaternary period. Recognizing that the physical, chemical and geological processes governing the Quaternary time frame are highly interconnected, the workshop will address advanced observational techniques, proxies, dating methods, and statistical tools. This workshop will give a hands on training along with the lectures from experts. Lectures will be on stable isotopes, dating methods, biomarkers, paleobiology, dendroclimatology, speleothem, environmental magnetism, pollens, and statistical methods & software/model packages. The workshop will also address the emerging areas and scope for future aspects.
The training workshop aims to build a pool of talented and trained young researchers in the field of Paleoclimate for the development and progress of paleoclimate research in India. The broad objective of the workshop is to assemble leading experts in the paleoclimate field and arrange an interaction with young students pursuing their master’s or Ph.D. It will provide a forum to discuss scientific issues and advancements related to Quaternary research. The ultimate aim is to transfer the knowledge to young students to ascent the Quaternary research in India. The workshop would involve leading scientists/experts from IITM, IIT-Bombay, PRL, IISER, Agharkar Research Institute, SPPU, Pune, National Centre for Earth Science Studies, Thiruvananthapuram, and National centre for ocean and Polar Research, Goa, Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeociences (BSIP), Lucknow, and the Cluster University of Jammu.

THEMES AND TOPICS
This workshop would focus on key and emerging topics regarding physical, chemical, and geological processes governing the climatic variations in Quaternary. The workshop themes will be land and aquatic proxies and related measurement techniques. It will also touch upon the recent advances in statistical methods and software packages. The format of this workshop will include lectures, laboratory training, and fieldwork.

National (Training) Workshop on Greenhouse Gases (GHG-3):
Observations and Inverse Modeling on Indian Regional Perspective
(Virtual Workshop) Between 14-17 Dec 2021

This workshop is intended to provide a venue to unify researchers from various scientific communities and share their information on the observational front.

In addition, a growing number of inverse modeling efforts from India is on an upraise in the recent past.

The workshop will serve as the venue to present and share the knowledge on the regional inversion aspects of Indian greenhouse gas fluxes, methodologies adopted.

A selected pool of students and early career researchers will be trained with few hands-on organized by the experts in the field.

Dynamics

About lecture series:

Indian Institute of Meteorology (IITM), Pune, is organizing a virtual lecture series on Cloud and Precipitation Physics and Dynamics. The lecture series aims to understand cloud and precipitation processes through the latest state-of-the-art approaches to observe, simulate, and identify key uncertainties associated with aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions. The lectures will be delivered by some of the world's leading and renowned scientists. Registered attendees will have an opportunity to interact with the speakers.

 

Topics covered in the series:

Introduction to cloud physics, Aerosol microphysics,  Aerosol-radiation   interaction,   Aerosol-cloud   interaction,   Rain    microphysics,   Primary  ice  nucleation,  Secondary  ice  formation,  mixed-phase cloud  and climate,  Entrainment  and  mixing  in  clouds,  Observing  clouds  in  situ:  opportunities  and challenges, Ground-based remote sensing of clouds with passive instruments, physics of clouds from radar observations, Boundary layer turbulence and clouds: theoretical and experimental studies, Explicit modelling of clouds, Large-eddy simulations and application in cloud physics, Direct  numerical  simulations  and  application  in  cloud  physics,  Clouds  in  a  laboratory, Outstanding problems in cloud physics, Monsoon clouds and their structure,  Parameterizing  the  cloud  microphysics,  Principles  of  thunderstorm  and  lightning physics, The physics of clouds in a weather and climate model, application of cloud physics: severe weather, lightning, Weather modification, etc.

 

Date and Time:

Started in October 2021 and continuing.

Lectures will be once in 2 weeeks. The dates and times of each lecture will be updated on the website. Lectures are for 40 minutes and followed by a 30 minute discussion.

 

Who can attend:

The series is targeted towards a broad range of attendees, including graduate students, early-career scientists. Basic college-level background in physics and mathematics is expected.

 

 

Registration: Free.

Required only for those interested in discussions with speakers.

Maximum number of registered participants: 100

Online training in AI/ML for atmosphere-ocean applications for beginners: 15th Feb 2021 to 19th Feb 2021

ML has been used in atmospheric and oceanic sciences for decades, but it is undergoing a rapid paradigm shift. This shift is driven by three factors- bigger datasets, an increase in computing resources and hardware architecture, and novel deep learning methods. It has been used in the past for post-processing of physical models, clustering, dimensionality reduction, etc. There is an emerging focus on physics guided ML methods too. Thus, this is an application with vast scope in this field in all time and space scales. In such a scenario a series of training from beginner to expert level is required for the students and young scientists of the country.

Considering the huge importance of AI/ML, DESK, DESK-IITM is organizing an 'An online training in AI/ML for atmosphere-ocean applications for beginners’ from 15th Feb 2021 To 19th Feb 2021. This will be lecture cum hands-on training and is aimed at students and young scientists in MoES institutes and other academic institutions across the country (Only for National Participants). This will be the first one of the series of training on this topic and will be followed by more such training sessions in the future. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, this activity will be completely virtual.

Course Description

Machine Learning and its sub-branches such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, non-linear methods have led to important advances in various fields of science. In this course, we cover all the basic aspects of machine learning which can be useful for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

Desirable Pre-requisites:

Experience with meteorological data, familiarity with geospatial data analysis and plots, Python

  • 31 to Feb-6: Special Lecture Series on Inverse Problems on greenhouse gas fluxes.


    Dates: 04-Feb to 08-Feb 2019

    Inverse problems in greenhouse gas researches are inevitable when it comes to the utilization of ground-based GHG observations in the estimations of surface emission /absorption scenarios. DESK is planning 5 days of special lecture series on Inversion by international expert involved in the global carbon inverse problems from 04-Feb to 08-Feb 2019. Special Lecturer: Prof. Shamil Maksyutov (Retd) is a founder developer of Global Carbon Transport Model and group head of GHG inverse modelling efforts of GOSAT project at NIES, Japan. Topics covering: (1) Theories of inverse problems for GHG inversions, (b) hands on training on NIES-TM and (c) lectures introducing protocols of TransCOM inversion projects.
