[Infopoint]

Dear All,

You are most cordially invited to the ICTP Colloquium "Interplay between 
Natural Variability and Anthropogenic Climate Change at Regional Scales" 
by Prof. Carolina Vera, University of Buenos Aires - CONICET, Argentina.

The Colloquium will take place online and in the Budinich Lecture Hall, 
_today_, Monday 30 May, at 16:00 hrs CET.

*Biosketch: *Carolina Vera is Full Professor at the School of Sciences 
of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) and Principal Researcher of 
Argentina National Council of Sciences (CONICET). She is currently 
Vice-Chair of WG1Bureau of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel for Climate 
Change). She has long research experience on understanding, simulating 
and predicting climate variability and change and its impact on 
socioeconomic sectors, like agriculture. She has served in a number of 
International Panels like the Scientific Advisory Panel of the World 
Meteorological Organization and many others. Prof.Vera is member of the 
ICTP Scientific Council as of this year.

*Abstract: *Variability in regional climate arises from natural and 
anthropogenic forcings, internal variability including the local 
expression of large-scale remote drivers, and the feedbacks between 
them. Due to the many possible drivers of variability and change, 
quantifying the interplay between internal variability and any 
externally forced component is crucial in attempts to attribute causes 
of regional climate changes and to increase the confidence on future 
regional climate change information. Dr Vera will first briefly 
introduce the sources of regional variability that can be grouped in 
forcings controlling regional climate and the internal drivers of 
regional climate variability. She will discuss ways of managing 
uncertainties in regional climate change information and how to identify 
the physical causes of past and future regional climate change. She will 
then present a regional climate change attribution study of 
precipitation trend in a specific region and discuss the robustness and 
emergence of anthropogenic signal in future regional climate change. She 
will end by presenting the storylines methodology as a way of 
constructing regional climate information providing a set of physically 
coherent descriptions of plausible future changes at regional scales.
