DESCRIPTION:The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly notice
 able from year to year. Unprecedented floods\, heatwaves\, rapid snow and 
 glacier loss\, and severe storms are just a few consequences that cause a 
 rising toll on the economy\, humans\, and our ecosystems. However\, predic
 tions and projections of these changes with state-of-the-art global climat
 e and weather forecasting systems are erroneous and have barely improved o
 ver the last decades. Kilometer-scale (km-scale) modeling has emerged as a
  viable option to significantly improve our ability to simulate and projec
 t not only extremes but also the mean state of the climate system. The Nat
 ional Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is developing and applying km
 -scale regional models since more than a decade. In this talk\, I will sum
 marize our main advances and remaining challenges in simulating the terres
 trial water cycle and its extremes in various climate zones including moun
 tains\, plains\, and coasts. Additionally\, I will summarize ongoing activ
 ities to advance km-scale climate modeling at NCAR and the World Climate R
 esearch Program (WCRP) and highlight options to get involved in these urge
 ntly needed initiatives to provide actionable information for climate chan
 ge adaption and mitigation.\n\nYou can also join online:\n\nhttps://unimee
