SUMMARY:Workshop on Cryospheric Extremes
LOCATION:Helsinki\, Finland
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Workshop on Cryospheric Extremes, Helsinki, Finland, 25 - 27 Apr
 il, 2018</strong></p><p>Extreme weather events are commonly encompassed phe
 nomena such as heat waves, droughts, floods and storms. In cold regions, th
 ese are augmented with snow and sea-ice related extreme events, usually tri
 ggered by anomalous atmospheric or oceanic conditions. Although extreme eve
 nts are a core climate research focus, cryospheric extremes have not receiv
 ed much attention yet. The overarching aim of the workshop is to review our
  understanding of cryospheric extreme events in the past, present and futur
 e, and to identify research needs.</p><p><strong>Topics of interest include
 </strong></p><ul><li>Observing cryospheric extremes (CE) and their precurso
 rs</li><li>Modelling requirements for CE</li><li>Producing and verifying fo
 recasts of CE</li><li>CE and climate change</li><li>Relevance of CE for soc
 iety/users</li></ul><p><strong>Registration link</strong><br />The workshop
  is free of charge for all participants. Extended registration deadline for
