The Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) has launched PMIP WINGS (PMIP Web-based INteractive Global Seminars), an online seminar series which the group hopes everyone will want to be part of.
The idea is to hold seminars approximately once a month- typically on the last Thursday of the month.
The format can develop but the plan is to start with two 20 minutes presentations plus discussion, finished within an hour, on Zoom.
Logistics
Date: Wednesday 21 February. Please note that this time around, the seminar will not be held on a Thursday, but on a Wednesday instead.
Location: Online
Time: 9:00 am JST - Japanese Standard Time (please note the unusual time zone) (UTC+9)

Future seminars
The group is always looking to fill up the rest of the seminar series, and looking for volunteers. You can present anything PMIPish. It can be science results, plans, work in progress, proposals for things that PMIP could do, or really any other things that may be of interest to the members of PMIP. Please email pmip-wingslsce.ipsl.fr (pmip-wings[at]lsce[dot]ipsl[dot]fr), if you would like to volunteer yourself or to nominate an early-career researcher whose work you feel deserves a broader audience. The group would also like one more organiser in the Americas, who can host a big Zoom meeting and handle the recording and upload.
