Climate Science and Solutions with Julia
Interested in climate science or geospatial techniques in Julia? Speak at our JuliaCon minisymposium on climate science in Julia! Talks are encouraged to discuss both innovative model architectures and coupling methods, as well as use-cases in the climate solution and education spaces.
The submission deadline is January 31, 2025.
The conference will be held in Pittsburgh, PA.
The conference will take place from July 21–26, 2025.
Submission Details
The use of Julia for earth and climate modeling is growing rapidly. This expansion calls for a discussion on best practices for simulation and model design to take advantage of Julia language features to make ecosystem code as accessible, intuitive, and extensible as possible. Talks are encouraged to discuss both innovative model architectures and coupling methods, as well as use-cases in the climate solution and education spaces.
Presenters will give lighting talks: 10 minutes (including 2 minutes for Q&A).
Submissions are managed through the PreTalx platform. Create an account and submit your talk by providing a title, abstract, and description.
Make sure to select the “Climate Science & Solutions” minisymposium as the track for your talk. For more details on submission requirements, visit: JuliaCon 2025 Pretalx.
Detailed Description
As Julia becomes more widely used within the earth and climate science communities, we have the opportunity to establish a set of best practices and guidelines to help researchers write accessible, intuitive, and extensible models. This will result in a more robust ecosystem with increased opportunities for collaboration and coupling through cohesive design strategies. Increased coupling has the potential to speed up climate research, allowing exploration of interactions between well-developed model components. Furthermore, easy-to-use models can be used for climate education, allowing the next generation climate and computer scientists to learn more about their world. Finally, well-developed and extensible climate and earth science models can be adapted to explore solutions to climate change.
We invite Julia developers, users, and educators in the earth science and climate science ecosystems to submit a talk on their innovative model design or use. We particularly encourage talks that discuss model coupling frameworks or extensions, as well as use of existing climate/earth models for education or climate solutions.
For this minisymposium, we accept abstracts on every field in and adjacent to Earth and climate sciences, including but not limited to:
- Atmospheric sciences, including atmospheric dynamics, physics, chemistry and climatology
- Oceanography including sea ice and ocean biogeochemistry
- Earth science including land surface processes, hydrology and glaciology
- Land vegetation and interactions of ecosystems with the climate
- Geodynamics, seismology, geodesy and geochemistry
- Human and physical geography
- Climate policy and economics including integrated assessment models
- Climate education
- Climate solutions
Talks can focus on software that solves equations, analyses or visualises data, processes measurements and especially software with any combination of the above. Additionally, we are interested in innovative and accessible model documentation and examples. Talks on planetary sciences are equally welcome especially when they parallel the issues and opportunities to the fields mentioned.
