14th International Conference on Southern Hemisphere Meteorology and Oceanography
The ICSHMO series began in the early 1980s and for 40 years has provided a unique venue for discussion of the atmospheric and oceanic 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 the science. The ICSHMO conferences bring together a special family of researchers from across the Southern Hemisphere and beyond and are held every three years. The conference is hosted by different countries in the southern hemisphere and the last time it was hosted on the African continent was during the year 1997.
In 2025 the conference will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, from 31 March to 4 April 2025.
ICSHMO 2025 promises to be an extraordinary gathering of scientists, researchers, and professionals from around the globe, offering a platform for the exchange of innovative ideas, cutting-edge research, and groundbreaking developments. This conference is particularly pertinent today as the world faces numerous environmental challenges, including the impacts of climate change. According to the 2024 Global Risk Report, extreme weather events are identified as the most significant risks the world will confront over the next decade.
