ACCESS Community Workshop 2024 Program
In 2024, the Program Committee seeks to bring together people across all the ACCESS communities to present and discuss current and emerging topics, both technical and scientific around the following broad themes:
- Model development and model evaluation for CMIP7
- High resolution modelling
- Paleoclimate and ice-sheet modelling
To ask questions, participate in the discussions and vote for the best posters during the Workshop, you must Sign up to the ACCESS-Hive Forum!
