CITES-2015 Conference Sections
Section 1 in memory of Academician V.E. Zuev. Modeling and analysis of regional atmospheric processes.
It is known that regional atmospheric processes have a significant impact on the state of the atmosphere on a global scale. Therefore, a very important task was a detailed study of such processes and their adequate consideration in regional climate models. The section was devoted to the results of research and analysis of regional atmospheric processes, as well as regional climate models of the atmosphere.
Section 2. Reports of school participants on the results of completing practical assignments.
During practical classes, groups of 3-4 people completed tasks based on the information and computing resources of TSU. During the section, each group presented a 15-minute report on the results obtained for discussion by the school participants. At the end of the event, the school participants received personalized certificates with a list of the courses they had attended and the results of the work they had completed.
Section 3. Modeling and analysis of the regional state of the underlying surface and its hydrological regime.
The underlying surface and its hydrological regime are important components of the climate system, significantly influencing its functioning. This section reviewed and discussed reports on the analysis of the current state of the underlying surface and its hydrological regime, as well as modeling the dynamics of the surface under possible climate change scenarios.
Section 4. Modeling and analysis of regional climate.
Climate changes occurring in large regions of the world affected the functioning of the entire Earth system. Therefore, a detailed study of ongoing climate changes at the regional level and their adequate consideration in global climate models was very important. The section was devoted to the discussion of manifestations of regional climate change and regional climate models. In particular, a detailed discussion was held on the state and dynamics of the environment of Northern Eurasia and its relationship with global changes.
Section 5. Data and information and computing systems for Earth sciences.
Various data sets, as well as information and computing systems for their processing, were actively used in forecasting, modeling and interpreting climate and ecosystem changes at different spatial and temporal scales. The section was devoted to the discussion of the availability of data and their formats used in the Earth sciences, data exchange methods, as well as developed information and computing systems for processing data archives. Applied information and computing systems for solving specific problems were presented.
Section 6. Comprehensive study of the state and climate variability of the East Siberian sector of the Arctic.
The East Siberian region of the Arctic shelf is a unique natural complex, where climate changes of recent decades are most noticeable. The region experienced intensive coastal destruction due to warming, large-scale methane emissions were recorded along the Arctic coast of Siberia, which allowed the possibility of methane discharge from gas hydrate structures of permafrost. In particular, the section presented the results of multidisciplinary studies conducted within the framework of the Russian-German project to study the main mechanisms of interaction between land and shelf waters, as well as factors determining the response of Arctic ecosystems to ongoing climate change.

The event was supported by the RSF project 21-71-30023.
As usual, the main topics of the event were the development of climate models, climate modeling, climate data analysis and tools for its implementation. Particular attention was paid to adaptation to expected climate changes and providing managers with the necessary results of climate analysis. These were the topics on which invited lectures by leading experts were presented, which helped young scientists to obtain fresh information on the most important topics of Earth system sciences and attracted their professional attention to this important area of research.
The CITES-2021 conference also included invited talks, oral and short oral talks with a full presentation of materials in poster sections.
Due to the fact that at that time we had no information about the extension or cancellation of social distancing measures, the conference and school were planned in a mixed format: presentations online and in the hall. Since the experience of holding schools online showed their low efficiency, this year the organizing committee decided that the school part of the program would be held within the framework of the conference and without performing computational practical tasks.
The CITES-2021 conference sections were devoted to various aspects of Earth system modeling and applications. We invited papers to participate in the conference on the development of components of the Earth system model, in particular models of processes in the atmosphere, ocean, and near the Earth's surface (including the development of dynamic cores), the representation of uncertainties in input data and models, and information and data systems for the Earth sciences. We also expected papers on regional interdisciplinary applied problems covered by the Future Earth Programme and its Future of Northern Eurasia Initiative.
