BACO 2025

Join BACO-25: A Global Platform for Earth Science and Climate Action

At a time when environmental challenges demand urgent solutions, BACO-25 offers a unique opportunity for the global Earth sciences community to share pioneering research and collaborate on climate action. This assembly will bring together experts from around the world to advance geoscience knowledge and promote international cooperation in addressing the climate crisis.

Organized by the Korean Meteorological Society, the Korean Society of Oceanography, and the Geological Society of Korea, with strong support from the Korean government and Busan Metropolitan City, BACO-25 promises a highly professional and impactful conference. From July 20 to 25, 2025, participants in Busan will engage in six days of scientific presentations, knowledge exchange, and collaborative discussions across academia, government, and industry.

Attendees can look forward to an exceptional lineup of scientific programs, exhibitions, and engaging events. BACO-25 encourages a wide range of participants, including young geoscientists, to join in advancing Earth sciences and fostering international partnerships for a sustainable future.

The event is of high relevance for ESMO projects and initiatives. You can contribute to the session below by submitting your abstract between November 16th, 2024 and February 15th, 2025:

Description:

There is a growing interest in the research and application communities in developing sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S: 2 weeks to a season) and seasonal to decadal (S2D: seasons to a decade) forecasts. This session invites contributions that span all aspects of meteorological and oceanographic prediction in the 2 weeks to a decade time range. The session will include both meteorological and impact studies. Contributions are welcome for studies of phenomena such as the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO), ENSO, IOD, AMO, tropical/extratropical waves, ocean-atmosphere coupling, stratospheric variability, and stratosphere - troposphere coupling, in addition to studies of predictability/skill of oceanic,atmospheric or surface variables and case studies of high impact weather events. Contribution regarding impacts studies at the S2S and S2D time-range are welcome, including, but not limited to, the areas of hydrology, health, fire, agriculture, and energy. These can include modeling studies of the impacts right through to presentations of how S2S and S2D-derived information can be integrated into decision support systems at the local, regional and country level. Studies of prediction for marine and terrestrial ecosystems are also highly welcome.
