Dear members of the Geo.X network,

herewith we would like to invite you to a one-day workshop on 20th of October 2022 at AWI Potsdam with the topic:

"Atmospheric blocking and environmental extremes - past, present, future"

funded by the "Geo.X - Grow your Ideas" call. The aim of our workshop is to develop future collaborations between different Geo.X partners on the topic of atmospheric blockings, focusing on the interactions of blockings with different types of extreme events and the underlying physical mechanisms on different spatial and temporal scales (see also the teaser in the attachment).
