ACRE2026 – Atmospheric Circulation Reconstructions over the Earth
Abstract submission was extended to 15 June 2026
The international Atmospheric Circulation Reconstructions over the Earth (ACRE) initiative works to retrieve our global climate history. It harnesses the work of many professionals and volunteers to recover historical terrestrial and marine weather observations. Project members search out millions of documents, typically paper-based, convert them to electronic images and then digitise the useful data they contain.
The ACRE2026 is promoted by AISAM – Associazione Italiana di Scienze dell’Atmosfera e Meteorologia – and will take place from 16 to 18 September 2026 in Rome, Italy.
The conference calls for abstracts on the identification and recovery of historical weather observations from previously unexplored regions and time periods. Contributions may address newly uncovered data sources, novel data extraction techniques, or applications of rescued datasets. Submissions employing automated AI/ML workflows, citizen science initiatives, and best practices, as well as studies that use historical data to investigate climate extremes, including floods, droughts, and other hazards are very welcome. The meeting will also advance efforts in climate adaptation by incorporating insights from past extreme climate events.
- Abstract submission deadline: 31 May 2026
- Deadline for registration: 30 June 2026
