RussianInstitute of Monitoring of Climatic and Ecological Systems SB RAS, G.I. Marchuk Institute of Numerical Mathematics RAS, Research Computing Center of Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow Center of Fundamental and Applied Mathematics and Hydrometсenter of Russia organize International Conference on Environmental Observations, Modeling and Information Systems ENVIROMIS-2024, July 1-6, 2024, Tomsk, Russia. The conference is held as a part of events dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the 270th anniversary of Moscow University.
The conference will be devoted to the state-of-the-art and usage of modern environmental observation techniques, computational and information technologies for assessment, modeling and mitigation of environment variations under natural and anthropogenic pressure including those caused by the Global Climate Change. It is aimed at filling the gap between basic science achievements and their practical applications in this domain.
Presentation and discussion of scientific results in priority areas in Earth sciences within the framework of the Conference will allow participants to consider in detail the current trends in the interaction and dynamics of natural systems, identify climate-forming processes and factors, discuss the development of modern climate models and forecast models, their verification and practical application, and also determine optimal directions for further research and opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. Particular attention at the conference will be paid to a detailed discussion of the state and dynamics of the environment in Northern Eurasia, especially Siberia and the Arctic, where climate changes are most pronounced. Being the regions whose potential influence on the Earth System operation as a whole is of importance, these regions have attracted the attention of a number of research organizations. Various international programs are actively working here, one of them is Northern Eurasia Future Initiative (NEFI). The research results obtained within the framework of this program have been presented at previous ENVIROMIS conferences.
The conference program, consisting of thematic sessions devoted to various aspects of environmental studies, will promote interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists, creating a basis for the study of the Earth system at the global and regional levels.
The conference is planned to be held in person. In some cases (e.g., travel issues) remote participation is envisaged upon individual agreement with the Program Committee: please contact info@enviromis.ru. Working languages at the Conference are English and Russian. During the Conference Sessions simultaneous translation from Russian will be provided. As part of the conference, a competition of young scientists’ reports named after RAS Corresponding Member V.N. Lykosov will be held.

An analysis of the results of weather and climate modeling will be presented, in particular, regional atmospheric processes and regional manifestations of global climate change. Reports will be presented on the use of modern models and numerical methods to improve the accuracy of weather forecasting on various time scales.
Session 3. Development of a national climate model. Organizer/chair Andrey S. Gritsun (INM RAS)
Reports by consortium participants on the creation of a new version of the Earth system model are planned. In particular, the issues of modeling the dynamics of various components of the climate system and integration of their models will be discussed.
Session 4. Structure and dynamics of geophysical boundary layers. Organizers/chairs Irina A. Repina (IPhA RAS), Evgeny V. Mortikov (RCC MSU)
The session discusses processes in boundary layers of the atmosphere and ocean. Particular attention is paid to turbulent transport and interaction of the atmosphere with the ocean and the active layer of land. The dynamics of stable and convective boundary layers and the interaction of the atmospheric boundary layer with the upper atmosphere are considered. The results of modeling turbulent processes and the development of turbulent closures and parameterizations for Earth system models are discussed.
Session 5. Air composition, Pollution Transport and Climate Change. Organizers/chairs Aleksey V. Penenko (ICMMG SB RAS), Alexander A. Baklanov (WMO)
The session discusses mathematical models and results of experimental studies of the processes of transport and transformation in the atmosphere of various chemical substances having gaseous or aerosols forms. Integrated models of atmospheric dynamics and chemistry will be considered, as well as problems of joint use of models and measurement data, including inverse problems and data assimilation problems. It is planned to discuss the impact of a changing climate on the processes of transport and transformation of impurities and the tasks of assessing risks from the impact of impurities’ sources on the adjacent territories.
Session 6. Response of Terrestrial Ecosystems of Northern Eurasia to climate changes. Organizers/chairs Tatyana A. Blyakharchuk (IMCES SB RAS), Ivan A. Kerchev (IMCES SB RAS)
The section will present reports on research into the response to ongoing climate changes in ecosystems of the boreal, forest-steppe zones and tundra. We welcome reports on the problems of influence on qualitative, quantitative, functional and spatial changes in forest, swamp and mountain ecosystems and their components as a result of increased frequency of extreme weather conditions, aridization, changes in temperature conditions, melting glaciers and volcanogenic disturbances of the stratosphere. It is also planned to discuss the results of studies of long-term changes that occurred in the pre-instrumental period of observations.
