 So I guess I'm here representing the ICTP and first of all I wanted to thank, well welcome everyone to this workshop. Anna actually asked me to give you a little bit of an overview of what the ICTP is and what our section is, especially for people who have never been actually here. So the ICTP was founded in 1964 by a very famous physicist called Ablu Salam and the main mission of ICTP is actually to foster research and education and science in developing countries. So essentially we mostly work with developing countries. Originally the center was born as a theoretical physics center from which the name, but over the years, especially after Ablu Salam passed away, the directors that actually followed him started building, you know, expand the ICTP in new areas and one of the areas was earth system science. Essentially our section, I was called the earth system physics section, was born in 1998, which is pretty much, well not pretty much, it's the year when I actually came here. I just wanted to give you a very quick overview of what we do, in case you might be interested in some of the activities we have here. The section now has seven scientific staff, you see there the list of them, I guess you know Ricardo, Farnetti, Fred Kucharski, but there are Adrian Tomkins, Erica Coppola, Fabian Salmon and Karim Aoudia. We also just very recently hired a software engineer, so we have let's say eight permanent staff in our section and we have about 20 to 25, what we call long term visitors, so people who come here for extended periods from several months to a year or a few years, postdoctoral fellows and PhD students, two staff associates. And is in sick here, Shukla, the noifice here actually, senior consultant and we organize every year what we call the educational or scientific activities, such as this one. We organize every year about 10 or 12 of events very similar to the, well not similar but along the lines of this one, so workshops or conferences and you should probably know that any of you can actually apply to organize one of such conferences. There is usually a deadline on 15th of February for the following year. You can send a two, three page proposal and these are evaluated for funding. So if you're interested in cosponsoring or organizing one of these activities at this point for 2017, you can go to our website to get some information or talk to me or Fred or anybody, this is actually possible. We also have a diploma program, it's a one year program for students from the least developed countries, we have about 10 students, 10 to 12. We also have a PhD in environmental fluid dynamics, I think it's the official name, maybe I guess, it keeps changing actually but at some point it was called environmental fluid dynamics more or less, it's something like that. With the University of Trieste, which again if anybody is interested and very recently we started a masters, well we are contributing to a masters in global change ecology also with the university. So we are expanding also our educational activities. Very quickly these are the areas of research that we work on, mostly we work on various aspects of our system modeling that I will mention in a couple of minutes, anthropogenic climate change of course, especially something that I've been working for a long time, natural climate dynamics and variability and seasonal to intranet predictability, oceanography, Ricardus leading a small group on oceanography and ocean climate interactions, chemistry climate interactions, Fabiansobmon is actually leading that, biosphere atmosphere interactions, also an area where we've been interested and now we're developing a lot of impact, moving a little bit more also towards the impact modeling, especially with Adrian Tomkins. And of course we have a lot of activities also in solid earth science, so study of earthquakes, volcanoes and the structure of the lithosphere. So it's a fairly broad range of activities that we deal with but our bread and butter is modeling in particular. We try to develop modeling sort of support the needs of developing countries, in particular here at CTP, we have a regional modeling system that we develop as a community model, there's something that I've been working on for the last 25 years, at least as long as I can remember. We also have a, we can run this model in a tropical band mode, so it's sort of a semi-global model if you want. We have this intermediate complexity model called Speedy that I think many of you know about, this was developed originally by Franco Molteni, who's here somewhere, there he is. He was actually one of our staff members who left with a great sort of everybody a number of years ago, but we still work with him. So this model called Speedy, I think there are a few talks on that. And as I said, we have a number of impact models. We have a malaria model, we have a hydrology model and so on. And with all these models what we try to do, we try to make them community models so they can be used by scientists, especially scientists in developing countries. And for these reasons, we try to develop some networks through developing countries. This is an example of the types of networks we have in Africa, different types of networks, a small logical network, climate network, impacts network, and so on. So we have actually a very large range of connection throughout the developing world. So this is pretty much a very quick run of what we do. If you are interested in having more detail, you can talk to me or to Fred or anybody else. And again, I welcome you and hope you enjoy your stay here. Not only the food, there are many good things about Italy. Thanks very much.
