From Data to Decisions: Science for Climate Resilience
This year, Day 2 of the conference will focus on climate change adaptation and mitigation, featuring talks from both scientists and end users. A panel discussion, chaired by Professor James Renwick, will address the needs of end users and stakeholders from the scientific community. Day passes are available for those wishing to attend only this day.

Registration and Programme
The ICSHMO series began in the early 1980s and for over 40 years has provided a unique venue for discussion of the science of the Southern Hemisphere. All things south of the Equator are topics for discussion at ICSHMO meetings: oceans, ice, weather, climate, advances in science and technology, human interactions with the environment, and reflections on the history of our science. The ICSHMO conferences bring together a special family of researchers from across the Southern Hemisphere and beyond. The 14th conference, to be held in South Africa in 2025, will be an in- person meeting only to facilitate networking and engagement which is so important for developing new research opportunities, and for providing opportunities for early-career professionals. The website with conference details, and more detailed programme will be made available later in 2024. The committee welcomes all contributions on Southern Hemisphere weather, ocean, and climate science. Enquiries: icshmo2025@saeon.nrf.ac.za
