ESM Working Group Announce

Meeting schedule for 2026

In 2026 we’ll be continuing the alternating schedule between the ESM Working Group meetings focused on science presentations and community updates, and the CM3 Dev-Eval meetings focused on community evaluation of the in-development ACCESS-CM3 model.

Both types of meetings will fully transition to the new Tuesday 10:30am AEDT time slot, and we’ll alternate between the two types of meetings on a fortnightly schedule.

The first meeting of 2026 will be a CM3 Dev-Eval meeting on Tuesday 20 January at 10:30am AEDT. If you have made any figures that you would like to discuss, please add them to the meeting agenda here!

Have a good break and see you in 2026!

The aim of the CM3 Dev-Eval meetings is to involve community in ACCESS-CM3’s development and evaluation, leveraging community expertise to more deeply evaluate the model and find areas for improvement. Each meeting’s discussion will centre around figures and analysis provided by attendees. If you have any figures or analysis you would like to share, please add them to the wiki post here.

Hi Spencer,
Thanks but I just tried adding this calendar link and it’s still scheduled on Thursday fortnightly as per the old timeslot. For clarify I’m pasting the URL again here:
https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/463c5a6d0bba4c838dce9c57933398fb@anu.edu.au/3086e7a51b0d48ef85bee981a597274413647516456690471131/calendar.ics

(I was already subscribed to the old ESM working group calendar feed… I never saw it change from Thursdays.)

Regards,
David

Hi David,

I had the same issue, so I removed the old calendar and then added it again via the URL and it updated.

Regards, Shayne

Hi Shayne, Spencer,
I just looked again this morning and yes, the same calendar I mentioned yesterday is now showing up as Tuesday meetings. So, perhaps the system just took some time to adjust the online updates because I haven’t done anything in the meantime.
Thank you for updating this Spencer!
Regards,
David
