18th Annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop (CPASW)

April 20-22, 2021
Phoenix, Arizona

Providing services for the cascading effects
of intensifying heat in a rapidly growing region.

The 18th Annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop (CPASW) will bring together a diverse community to share developments in research and application of weather and climate information for societal decision-making. Participants will include researchers, service producers, resource managers, planners, practitioners, social scientists, and others making weather and climate-sensitive decisions. NOAA’s National Weather Service Climate Services Branch, Arizona State University, the Arizona State Climate Office, and many climate services partners are collaborating in the organization of the 2021 CPASW.

The workshop will convene in Phoenix, Arizona, April 20-22, 2021, for discussion centered on the integrated theme of “Providing services for the cascading effects of intensifying heat in a rapidly growing region."

The workshop will address the following focus areas:

Understanding, monitoring, and predicting environmental changes and their impacts
Services for resilience to cascading effects of heat and its impacts to / or coupled with
- Socio-economic concerns (e.g., health, urban/infrastructure, agriculture, emergency management, energy, governance, etc)
- Hydrological issues (e.g., extreme precipitation, flash flooding, drought, snow, water depletion, land desertification, etc)
- Wildfire and air quality
Transboundary issues and partnership (e.g., cross-border services, sustaining international partnerships, effective stakeholder engagement, etc)
Other topics in climate services for resilience

Heat is a unifying issue across all of these focus areas contributing to significant impacts on the economy and society. Applications of heat and other climate information at various time scales, including sub-seasonal to seasonal and beyond, help inform preparedness activities for disruptive events and long-term changes, supporting resilient communities and their economies. We invite abstracts for workshop presentations that address the use of and/or opportunities for climate data and products including monitoring, predictions, and projections in any of the focus areas listed above. We also encourage abstracts highlighting best practices in the areas of communication and outreach, decision support tools, and preparedness methods to advance adaptation and mitigation efforts. The workshop will also include special discussions related to sector-specific applications, water and environmental issues, and international aspects.

The abstract deadline is December 31, 2020. The meeting format will include a combination of symposia, panel sessions, discussions, and keynote speakers that address the workshop theme.
