  • Section Conveners: E.A. Golovatskaya (IMCES SB RAS), I.N. Kurganova (IPCBPSS RAS), Yu.A. Kurbatova (IEE RAS)
  • This section of the conference is devoted to the study of the response of ecosystems of the boreal, forest-steppe zones and tundra to ongoing climate change, as well as the study of water, carbon, and nitrogen cycles in terrestrial ecosystems of Northern Eurasia. Particular attention is given to the problems of the influence on qualitative, quantitative, functional and spatial changes in forest, wetland and mountain ecosystems and their components as a result of increasing extreme weather conditions, aridization, changes in temperature regimes, glacier melting and volcanic 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.
• #4 Energy and climate
  • Section Convener: S.V. Alekseenko (IT SB RAS)
  • This conference section discusses the impact of energy on climate change and environmental pollution. Specific features of Russia, particularly Siberia and the Arctic regions, are highlighted. Low- and zero-carbon energy technologies, including renewable energy sources, nuclear energy, and hydrogen energy, are considered. Emphasis is placed on the thermophysical aspects of addressing climate issues. Significant attention is paid to new working fluids for power plants due to bans on the use of ozone-depleting freons and substances with a strong greenhouse effect.
• #5 Atmospheric composition, pollutant transport and climate change: measurement data, forward and inverse modeling
  • Section Conveners: A.V. Penenko (ICMMG SB RAS), A.A. Baklanov (RSHU, WMO)
  • This conference section discusses mathematical models and results of experimental studies of atmospheric transport and transformation processes for chemicals in the gaseous phase and as aerosols. The papers examine integrated models of atmospheric dynamics and chemistry, as well as the combined use of models and measurement data, including inverse problems and data assimilation. The panel also discuss the impact of climate change on pollutant transport and transformation processes and the challenges of assessing the risks of pollutant sources impacting adjacent areas.
• #6 Structure and dynamics of geophysical boundary layers

  • This conference section discusses processes in the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers. Particular attention is paid to turbulent mixing, pollutant transport, and the interaction of the atmosphere with the ocean and the active layer of land. The dynamics of stable and convective boundary layers, as well as the interaction of the atmospheric boundary layer with the free atmosphere, are considered. Results from modeling turbulent processes and the development of turbulent closures and parameterizations for Earth system models are discussed.
• #7 Modeling and monitoring of processes in the active layer of land

  • The section invites presentations on observations and mathematical modeling of thermodynamic, hydrological, biogeochemical and ecosystem processes in the active layer of land, including soils, vegetation, urban landscapes, and in-land water bodies.
• #8 Machine learning in environmental sciences
  • Section Conveners: M.A. Krinitsky (IO RAS), M.I. Varentsov (RCC MSU)
  • The main theme of this conference section is solving problems specific to the Earth sciences using machine learning and deep learning approaches and methods. The section focuses on modeling and measuring processes in the ocean and ice cover, the atmosphere, land waters, and soil, as well as the interactions between them.
• #9 Northern Eurasia Future Initiative
  • Section Convener: P. Groisman (CICESS NCSU USA), E.P. Gordov (IMCES SB RAS)
  • The section is dedicated to the Northern Eurasia Future Initiative (NEFI), where special attention is paid to a detailed discussion of the state and dynamics of the environment of Northern Eurasia, especially Siberia and the Arctic.
• #10 Master class on geophysical modeling technologies
  • Section Conveners: E.V. Mortikov (RCC MSU), V.M. Stepanenko (RCC MSU)

  • The conference will include a one-day hands-on workshop, during which interested participants will be able to run models of geophysical environments (urban boundary layer, active layer, and water bodies/reservoirs), analyze the results, and evaluate the applicability of the models to their own research.

    Geophysical models to be used in the workshop:

    LAKE (a one-dimensional thermohydrodynamic reservoir model with a biochemical process description module, optimized for estimating key greenhouse gas emissions from lakes and reservoirs, as well as for ensemble calculations of changes in the carbon balance of reservoirs under various climate change and water use scenarios).

    TEB-Ru (a single-layer urban canopy model based on an urban canyon scheme, coupled with the Building Energy Model (BEM). It offers a simplified yet computationally efficient description of turbulent and radiative exchange processes in urban development, including consideration of the operation of building heating and air conditioning systems).

    TerM (a process-oriented model simulating the cycles of energy, water, and nutrients in the active layer of the terrestrial environment for diagnostics, retrospective, prognostic, and scenario calculations of the response of geosystems to climate and land use change).

    LIMNIS (a unified three-dimensional numerical model of an inland water body, allowing for high-resolution description of the thermal regime, current velocities, concentrations, and fluxes of biochemical impurities, including climate-significant gases, in lakes and reservoirs).

    MSU LES (a three-dimensional eddy-resolving microclimate model of the urban environment, Developed within the framework of unified DNS, LES, and RANS technologies at the Research Computing Center of Moscow State University and the Institute of Numerical Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it allows for the explicit description of most turbulent motions in the atmospheric boundary layer and flow around geometrically complex surfaces, including urban development, as well as the transport of impurities, interaction with vegetation, chemical transformations in the air, cloud microphysics, radiative transfer, and heat and mass exchange with natural and urban surfaces).
