Hi all,
With Ian and myself travelling and on leave last week, the announcement for the land working group meeting hasn’t been posted.
We have a meeting scheduled for this afternoon at 2pm, please use this Zoom link to connect.
Considering the previously shared calendar invite has gone awry with some calendars, please remove the events from your calendars and replace with these new events (which hopefully will fix any problem): EDIT: removed attachment since the files were incorrect. See next post for the corrected files.
There is no specific agenda for this afternoon and the meeting is open to any topic attendees want to discuss.

Sorry for the second email of the day, but I have finally found a way to create .ics files on my system that should follow daylight saving changes.

Each financial year, ACCESS-NRI puts together a work plan. We had a consultation period for community feedback on our priorities for 2025-26 while I was away, and so I fear it was missed by the land community.
Although it might be difficult to add major changes now, there is still a short open window when we can add some community feedback.
If you are interested in what ACCESS-NRI is planning and providing some feedback, you can find our draft work plan here. Consider sending any feedback to myself directly (a message through the forum or an email would work).
Our work plan is indicative of current priorities, but we will stay flexible and adapt to changing priorities along the year if required.

Good morning,
for your information, we have received the following webinar announcement on the ILMF mailing list:
We would like to invite you to the ML4LM webinar series for 2025 under the GEWEX-GLASS framework.
The sixth webinar is next Monday 9th June 2025 | 14:30 UTC by Pr. Pierre Gentine, LEAP-STC, Columbia University who will be taking about:
DifferLand: The First Differentiable Land Model
Please follow the link in the attached flyer (268.9 KB)
to register and feel free to pass the information along to your colleagues! After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing the meeting details.
Looking forward to your valuable contributions and fruitful discussion!

Hi,
Our next meeting is on Tuesday 17th June at 2pm.
Land Working Group Meeting
** For a calendar invite, simply click on the relevant calendar link below **
You can present your work in the main workshop (the “parallel sessions”), or in our seperate Land Working Group day(s) (or both). The main workshop has 10 minute and 1 minute lightning talks. Our Land only working group also has some seminar slots if you prefer to present there. So, do submit your latest and get involved in what should be a great week of workshops.

Are you a student or Early Career Researcher interested in climate and weather science and modelling?
Join us at the 2025 ACCESS Community Workshop! Connect with other researchers using the same models and tools as you and discover new software tools that could transform your research!
The ACCESS Community Workshop will take place 8-12 September 2025 in Melbourne and we are welcoming students and Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to contribute and attend. The Workshop takes place over 4 days: 2 days of presentations, 1 training day, and 1 day devoted to specific domain working groups (Land Surface, Machine learning for Climate and Weather, Atmosphere, Ocean and Sea ice, Cryosphere and Earth System modeling). Scholarships are available to support ECR/student travel and attendance via the abstract submission.
Who is the ACCESS community?
If your work uses ACCESS models - be that developing models, running models, or analysing model output, then you are part of the ACCESS community! We also welcome researchers using other climate models or considering using ACCESS models to be involved.
This event is hosted by Australia’s climate simulator (ACCESS-NRI), which provides the software engineering expertise to create open-source models, data and tools in collaboration with Australian research communities.
Learn about Australia’s ACCESS climate models and tools you might use within your own research
Learn about the broad range of exciting science being done with ACCESS models
Connect with other climate and weather researchers who get it - who encounter similar technical hurdles and triumphs in their research
Attend the dedicated student/ECR social event where you can swap coding stories, make new friends, or simply unwind with people who understand what you’re working on
Talk to ACCESS-NRI staff – the research software engineers who co-develop, maintain and improve the software infrastructure – in person, so you know who to contact for modelling help in the future
Attend hands-on training opportunities on the use of ACCESS models and outputs, as well as other skills including handling large datasets, model evaluation tools, machine learning in climate models, and advanced Git and GitHub – all skills valued by research institutions, industry, and government agencies
Present your work - if you have a talk or poster from a previous occasion, bring it along to expose your research to a wider audience
Ready to advance your climate and weather research? Don’t miss this opportunity and apply now!
