ASPECT

ASPECT researchers had a fantastic time at #EGU26 in Vienna, a great opportunity to connect, strengthen collaboration and advance decision-ready climate information. Catch up on our involvement 👇 aspect-project.eu/aspect-at-egu2…

Many ASPECT scientists took part in #EGU26 in Austria this week, bringing together global geoscientists to share the latest in Earth, climate and environmental research. It was a great opportunity to showcase how ASPECT is advancing climate understanding and decision-making.

We’re at EGU26! 🌍 ASPECT scientists are attending the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2026, taking place in Vienna this week. You can find out which sessions we're participating in on the ASPECT website 👇 buff.ly/bKrOPFe

ASPECT scientists will be at EGU26 🌍 From 3–8 May, our researchers will be presenting and discussing work on climate variability, predictability and risk. Find out more 👇 buff.ly/v0yqWS3

📄 New ASPECT paper Duzenli et al. (2026) show that downscaling drought indices adds valuable spatial detail for seasonal drought assessment, helping capture local variability missed in coarse data. 🔗 buff.ly/HqvKJkG

Catch up with the 2026 ASPECT User Forum 👇 Held on 23–24 March, our final forum showcased advances in seamless climate prediction and their value for decision-making and resilience. Watch the recordings: buff.ly/2jOlIl3

🌱 How can climate information help protect agriculture? Our new video explores a severe spring frost in 2021 that damaged vineyards across the Iberian Peninsula, and shows how ASPECT tools can help monitor and prepare for frost risk. ▶️ Watch: buff.ly/ilwR9LL

🚨 New ASPECT paper out now 🍇 We explore the seasonal predictability of spring frost risk for vineyards in Catalonia at 10 km resolution, using a statistical downscaling approach linked to atmospheric blocking. 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Women scientists are shaping climate research, yet remain under-represented. RESCUE is hosting an online workshop to spotlight women researchers and discuss climate scenarios, predictions, overshoot & emissions. 📅 1 April 🕜 14:00-16:00 CET Register: buff.ly/XGvp1Kz

Still time to join the ASPECT User Forum! Taking place today and tomorrow, this event brings together scientists, users and decision‑makers to explore how climate information delivered seamlessly across timescales can strengthen adaptation planning. buff.ly/lJye3HD
