This category contains the working group mailing list, information and activity reports. ## Working group purpose The Cryospheric Sciences working group includes researchers from Australian universities and research institutions who use and co-develop the Australian Community Climate Earth System Model (ACCESS) for their research. It includes the components of the Cryosphere with a focus on land ice, including ice sheets, ice shelves, alpine glaciers, snow, permafrost, fast ice and icebergs. The main aims of this group are to co-develop the cryosphere and land ice models, interchange information through regular meetings and provide information about training. ## Facilitators Felicity McCormack, @fmccormack, co-chair Chen Zhao, @Chen_Zhao , co-chair Lenneke Jong, @lmjong, co-chair Mike Tetley, @mtetley, ACCESS-NRI liaison ## Category organisation This category contains all information directly pertinent to the working group: - [The “Announce” topic](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/cryosphere-working-group-announce/570) is used as a mailing list for the working group.
