Climate informatics broadly refers to any research combining climate science with approaches from statistics, machine learning and data mining.
The Climate Informatics workshop series, now in its fifth year, seeks to bring together researchers from all of these areas. We aim to stimulate the discussion of new ideas, foster new collaborations, grow the climate informatics community, and thus accelerate discovery across disciplinary boundaries.
The format of the workshop seeks to overcome cross-disciplinary language barriers and to emphasize communication between participants by featuring tutorials, invited talks, panel discussions, posters and break-out sessions.
Venue: NCAR Mesa lab in Boulder, Colorado

All researchers interested in learning about critical issues and opportunities in the field of climate informatics are welcome to participate, whether established in the field or just starting out.
Since earth system sciences can be brought to bear on the study of climate, the scope of the workshop also includes data science approaches to problems at the nexus of climate and the earth system sciences.
Information about participating in the workshop will be available on the website
