The 35th GEWEX Scientific Steering Group (SSG-35) meeting will take place in Santiago, Chile from Monday to Thursday, 1–4 May 2023. Holding the GEWEX SSG in Santiago is a recognition by the international community of the tremendous effort of the Andean research community to coordinate their effort of understanding the water cycle of this region.
The GEWEX SSG-35 will focus on internal matters: the new GEWEX Science Plan for GEWEX’s Phase IV (2022-2032), how that translates to current and future panel activities and how it aligns and links with WCRP’s science priorities, including the WCRP Lighthouse Activities, and each GEWEX Panel will report on their activities in 2023/2024 and plans.
Furthermore, this meeting will also focus on GEWEX activities in relation to our sponsors and international partners and an important part of this meeting is dedicated to discussing preparations for the GEWEX Open Science Conference in 2024.
In addition to our regular SSG meeting a special high-level meeting in conjunction with the members of the ANDEX Project, a Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP) for the Andes, is planned on Wednesday 3 May.
Lastly, our program will be completed with presentations from the other WCRP core projects, LHA-activities, Regional Focal Groups, Space Agencies, and other relevant international programs.
The agenda will be available in the first week of April 2023.
The GEWEX SSG-35 is an in-person meeting, with limited remote participation capability (e.g., watching, questions via comments).
