Home / News & press / EGU news / EGU General Assembly to stay in Vienna until 2030
The applied flexibility of the past and the ability to adapt to the special needs of the Corona-influenced General Assembly 2022 have shown that the ACV as a centre, its team, and our Viennese suppliers can react to the needs of the EGU and its attendees. That encouraged us to partner with the ACV for 8 more years from now until 2030. We at Copernicus are very grateful for the opportunity to be part of this endeavour and to continue to cater to EGU members into the future.”

28 October 2022 MUNICH – Peering inside common atmospheric particles is providing important clues to their climate and health effects, according to a new study by University of British Columbia chemists. Secondary organic aerosol ( SOA ) particles are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and play an important role in air quality and climate.

Home / Awards & medals / Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal / 2023 / Christoph Schär
This paper changed the way many of us think about, and how the community prepares for, heatwaves, such as those decimating much of the northern hemisphere in 2022. In recent years Schär has been pushing the boundaries of climate modelling by descending to the kilometer-scale resolution in global models. This capability was made possible by large-scale increases in computational power through innovative code migration to graphics processing units.
