Dear all,

Thanks for indicating your interest at the recent CMIP2026 Australian debrief in participating in a CMIP7 analysis meeting. We have now scheduled this for 11am-1pm Friday 29 May via zoom.

Here’s a draft agenda:

  • Introductions
  • Gaps the IPCC AR7 has identified and other high-priority scientific questions
  • Update on ACCESS ESM1.6 submission & timelines
  • Use of the REF to process output and evaluate models
  • Analysis the REF will not cover that we could add or do separately
  • evaluation of historical experiment against Aus/SH observations
  • future changes in H & L scenarios (+ others when available)
  • other experiments
  • Discussion/Breakout groups on broad themes (e.g. ocean, atmosphere, attribution etc)
  • Wrap up
  • Discussion of possible overview paper (e.g. similar to Grose et al 2020)

Hi COSIMA,

We’re starting a monthly ACCESS-OM3 Science Community Evaluation meeting, in preparation for the COSIMA Hackathon in November. The first meeting will be at 4pm Thursday 25th June.

If you’d like to join in the evaluation effort, please come along! This is your chance to ensure ACCESS-OM3 is even more awesome for your science than ACCESS-OM2 (you can also be a coauthor on the evaluation paper).

Agenda:

  • Overview of existing and planned runs
  • Discussion of paper scope / timeline
  • How to contribute
  • Discussion of how people have been going so far with the mechanisms of contributing - do we need to lower the bar for contributions?
  • Allocate unclaimed / abandoned issues to people, and create new issues as desired
  • Open floor for people to share and discuss figures they have made
  • Dream list and priority of additional runs (sensitivity tests, 8km etc) that we would like to do by November COSIMA evaluation hackathon.

Notes and minutes are here.

Catch you there!

Call for Expressions of Interest - ACCESS-NRI Visualisation Project

ACCESS-NRI is inviting expressions of interest from domain experts and researchers who would like to collaborate on a 3-6 month visualisation project. We’re offering technical support and expert guidance to help you bring your science to life.

We encourage bold, creative ideas that explore new ways to visualise ACCESS model outputs. It could be a compelling snapshot of climate change impacts, a journey through the ocean’s depths, or a flyover of modelled land surface processes. Be ambitious!

This is your chance to create high-impact visuals (animations, videos, or 3D still images) that showcase your research and amplify its visibility across media, conferences, and the broader community. Successful projects will be supported by:

  • Owen Kaluza, visualisation expert at ACCESS-NRI: Owen is developing high-impact visualisations to better communicate the work done with ACCESS models and data. His work spans 3D graphics (OpenGL), GPU programming, Python, and notebook-based tools.

Explore recent work on our Vimeo Channel and an example of a past project here: Visualising Antarctica’s heartbeat

  • The Model Evaluation and Diagnostics (MED) team at ACCESS-NRI, offering support on data and project management.
  • The ACCESS-NRI Engagement and Communications team, offering guidance on science communication and media promotion.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Submit your EOI :link:


How will EOIs be evaluated?

  • Priority will be given to projects using models supported by ACCESS-NRI
  • Data availability on NCI Gadi at project start (new model runs must be arranged separately)
  • Feasibility within a 3-6 month timeframe
  • Impact and relevance to the ACCESS community and broader audiences

Why get involved?

  • Give your science an extra “wow” factor
  • Enhance conference presentations
  • Stand out on social media
  • Reach a broader audience outside traditional publishing channels

Key dates

  • This call is open until: Wednesday 15 July 2026
  • Projects can start: any time during FY26–27, but must be scoped for delivery in 3-6 months

If you have any questions or want to discuss a concept before submitting, feel free to reach out to romain.beucher@anu.edu.au
