At @MPI_Meteo (Hamburg), we’re modeling Arctic complexity for Q-ARCTIC, led by Victor Brovkin. The Arctic isn’t uniform—it’s wetlands, tundra, ponds, snow, and shrubs, but most models average it all.
Using ICON with JSBACH, we split grid cells into tiles, each with unique physics for water, heat, and carbon. This reveals how moisture and energy move between zones, driving Arctic feedbacks and global impacts.

🎯 Want to organise a science #hackathon❓ - Learn from 4 years of hands-on experience in the #ClimateModeling community with #nextGEMS!
 
💡“As our climate challenges grow, so does the need for shared, accelerated learning” - This quote stems from Heike Konow (MPI-M), project coordinator of the #nextGEMS project, who explains how well-structured hackathons can benefit the scientific community.

In our latest video, Heike and Eulalia Baulenas (BSC) reflect on organising hackathons that sparked #collaboration, innovation & community in climate science. They share their top 5 tips for designing successful, inclusive hackathons. 🧠🤝
 
Find the video on our website's multimedia library to learn about their top five recommendations for organising successful hackathons.

🌍 Day 2 of the WCRP Global KM-Scale Hackathon 2025 is off to an incredible start!👩‍💻

📍 At the Hamburg node, participants have formed dynamic groups tackling topics like cloud climatology, aerosols, ice sheets, and more. Moreover, computing companies such as NVIDIA and climate modelling initiatives like #DestinE are also on-site, joining forces to push the boundaries of #ClimateScience. 💡

🔷 #nextGEMS is backing this groundbreaking global event, which brings together scientists, developers, students, and data experts from around the world to accelerate progress in kilometer-scale #EarthSystemModeling. 🌐

🌙 After a delicious and revitalizing dinner at Man in the Moon last night, our participants are kicking off the last day of hacking at The Final Countdown! 🚀
The day began with presentations of interim results. Now, the teams are highly focussed on preparing their results before tomorrow's grand finale.

Renewable energy, new simulations, and newcomers at nextGEMS´ final hackathon in Stockholm

The nextGEMS project has entered its final phase and will come to an end  in August (?) of this year. But before going separate ways, our project  members and partners gather one last time for the sixth nextGEMS hackathon from March 24th to 28th, …

🚀 What a fantastic kickoff to The Final Countdown! Yesterday, our participants bonded over their first kanelbullar and wrapped up the day with an interactive icebreaker, including mini-poster presentations.
Today, the groups will start #hacking. Among other questions, they will explore how #nextGEMS data can inform the #RenewableEnergy industry. 💡🌱

A huge thank you to @stockholmunilib and Stockholm’s @naturhistoriska for hosting us! 🦕

ISIMIP workshop in May 5–9 in Potsdam, Germany:

“The workshop, while serving as the main annual ISIMIP workshop, will be an activity as part of the Horizon Europe project OptimESM, and an excellent opportunity to connect the climate and climate impact modelling activities with regard to potential inputs to the IPCC Seventh Assessment Report (AR7).”

The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project

ISIMIP offers a framework for consistently projecting the impacts of climate change across affected sectors and spatial scales. An international network of climate-impact modellers contribute to a comprehensive and consistent picture of the world under different climate-change scenarios.
