| Day 1: Climate Change (ISIMIP) -- Monday 15 July 2024 14:00-18:00 UTC |
| Introductory talk: Introduction to The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) |
| Don Pierson (Uppsala University) |
| To adapt management for climate change impacts on lakes, there is an increased need to project future changes in lake thermal structure and resulting changes in lake biogeochemistry. Consistent ensemble modeling studies to project global water quality changes are needed for policy-relevant documents, such as the Assessment Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The international Lake Sector of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) aims to fulfill this need for simulating climate change impacts on lakes using an ensemble of lake models and climate change scenarios. ISIMP prescribes lake simulations driven by climate forcing from gridded observations and different Earth system models under various representative greenhouse gas concentration pathways (RCPs), all consistently bias-corrected on a global grid. The ISIMIP Lake Sector is the largest international effort to project future water temperature, thermal structure, and ice phenology of lakes at local and global scales and paves the way for future simulations of the impacts of climate change on water quality and biogeochemistry in lakes. |
| 14:00-14:45 UTC - Keynote: Global heat uptake by inland waters |
| Inne Vanderkelen (KU Leuven) |
| Heat uptake is a key variable for understanding the Earth system response to greenhouse gas forcing. Despite the importance of this heat budget, heat uptake by inland waters has so far not been quantified. In this study, we use a unique combination of global-scale lake models, global hydrological models and Earth system models from the ISIMIP2b initiative to quantify global heat uptake by natural lakes, reservoirs, and rivers. The resulting values are placed this in the context of the global heat inventory, a multi-disciplinary effort to map the different components of the Earth energy imbalance. |

A live stream of the pre-recorded keynote will begin at 14:00 UTC, followed immediately by a live Question and Answer session with the speakers. |

| 15:00-17:00 UTC - Workshop: Accessing and analysing ISIMIP data |
| Daniel Mercado (Catalan Institute for Water Resources Research), Ana Isabel Ayala-Zamora (Uppsala University), Robert Ladwig (Aarhus University) |
| The workshop delves into aspects of using ISIMIP data for aquatic modelling, offering a comprehensive approach to understanding and using climate change data effectively in a local lake or multiple lakes around the world. Participants will explore theoretical frameworks to choose initial conditions (e.g. global hypsometry) for a global simulation, and compare it with local observation. Through hands-on coding sessions, attendees will gain practical skills in accessing climate change data ready to be used in a lake model. The workshop further enhances learning with real-world examples including: script demonstration for analyzing local lake changes, comparison of global and local simulations, and methodologies to link with hydrology. |

| 17:00-18:00 UTC Breakout/Working Groups Sessions |
| A traditional part of AEMON-J meetings in the past has been to openly discuss ideas for new, joint projects. This time in the schedule is to bring up such ideas, perhaps inspired by the workshops earlier that day, and discuss. If no such ideas are pitched, this time can also be used for small talk, networking, and other social activities. |
| Day 2: Remote Sensing -- Tuesday 16 July 2024 14:00-18:00 UTC |
| Introductory talk: Hydrology from Space: An Introduction to Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) Satellite |
| Merritt Harlan (United States Geological Survey) |
| This talk will introduce the exciting new Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite (launched December 2022). SWOT will provide novel global observations of water levels, extent and inundation in large rivers and lakes using a wide-swath Ka-band radar interferometer. Some inland hydrology applications using SWOT include managing freshwater resources in transboundary basins, monitoring reservoirs at scale, improving flood and hydrologic modeling, and progressing our understanding of the water cycle. Here we introduce the SWOT satellite technology, demonstrate different types of data to expect, highlight various visualization tools, and provide some examples of applications of SWOT data. |
| 14:00-14:45 UTC - Keynote: Tracking the world's rivers with the SWOT satellite |
| Craig Brinkerhoff (Yale University) |
| The NASA/CNES SWOT satellite (launched in December 2022 and with data now publicly available) is expected to usher in a new age in global hydrology, providing novel measurements of inland waters at an unprecedented resolution. This talk will briefly introduce two examples of using SWOT to track global river transport processes and contextualize river fluxes within broader water and nutrient cycling. First, I introduce the community-level effort to remotely sense river discharge in ungauged basins and global rivers as never before possible, and then I introduce an example of extending that work to another domain: using SWOT to inform river greenhouse gas exchange and carbon emissions modeling. |

| 15:00-17:00 UTC - Workshop: SWOT Data Access Workshop |
| Cassandra Nickles (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory) |
| Interested in remote sensing of Earth’s water? Come join us for a workshop on the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, a joint NASA-CNES venture! SWOT provides unprecedented measurements of surface water for hydrologic and oceanographic science and applications. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to SWOT and the various ways to access and utilize its data products, via Jupyter Notebooks and data transformation tools. Participants will be able to utilize a Binder environment accessed via personal laptops to explore SWOT data using tutorials by PO.DAAC, NASA’s Physical Oceanography Data Active Archive Center. All tutorials use the Python coding language, but no prior Python experience is necessary. |

| Day 3: Ecological Modeling -- Wednesday 17 July 2024 14:00-18:00 UTC |
| Introductory talk: Clear, flexible, and fast: implementing ODE-based models with R package “rodeo” |
| David Kneis (Institute of Hydrobiology, TU Dresden) |
| The video recaps basic concepts of ordinary differential equations in the context of ecological modeling. After watching it, you should be familiar with the nature of simultaneous ODE, the initial value problem, and concepts to obtain dynamic and steady-state solutions. The video also highlights common practical issues encountered in ODE-based ecological modeling. We will resolve the latter by a dedicated R package (“rodeo”) in the corresponding workshop. |
| 14:00-14:45 UTC - Keynote: Role of a trophic group in a plankton community |
| Patch Thongthaisong (Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB)) |
| In this presentation, I show a model mimicking interactions between plankton trophic groups (a plankton food web) and how I use it to obtain mechanistic insights into the roles of a parasite in plankton ecology. |

| 15:00-17:00 UTC - Workshop: Clear, flexible, and fast: implementing ODE-based models with R package “rodeo” |
| David Kneis (Institute of Hydrobiology, TU Dresden) |
| Differential equations (DE) provide a means to simulate the dynamics of a wide range of ecological systems. Basic DE-based models are nowadays fairly easy to implement. As system become more complex, however, obstacles pop up: How to communicate a model with 10 state variables and 20 processes to users, students, or the scientific audience? How can we validate and debug the equations step-by-step? How to make models fit for re-use? How to minimize computation times such that sensitivity analysis and parameter estimation become actually feasible? The workshop gives an introduction the R package rodeo which address all of the raised issues by two simple concepts: a standard notation and a code generator. The package helps both beginners and experts to build comprehensible, high-performance DE models with a minimum of coding. Hence, rodeo allows you to spend more time on identifying your system and gathering valuable observations. |
