6th International Atmospheric Rivers Conference (IARC26)
Porto, Portugal
19 June – 23 October 2026
This workshop connects to the NAWDIC mission.
Marking the 10th anniversary of IARC and its first time in Europe, the conference will convene an international, interdisciplinary community to explore the role of atmospheric rivers (ARs) in shaping water availability, weather extremes, and environmental resilience.
We welcome abstracts on the following key themes:
- Physical, dynamic, and microphysical aspects of ARs
- Aerosol and biogeochemical aspects of ARs
- Observing, identifying, and monitoring of ARs
- Forecasting of ARs from short to seasonal time scales
- Regional aspects and global signatures of ARs
- ARs in past, present, and future climates
- Role of ARs in the changing cryosphere
This year’s special focus will explore the connection between AR science and stakeholders, including:
- Impacts of ARs on the environment and society, including in the context of compound events
- ARs and water extremes: from drought to flood & water management
- ARs and the Ocean: from physical drivers to biodiversity impacts
