EGU was held in Vienna, Austria and online, from 27 April–2 May 2025 and welcomed 20,984 attendees from 120 countries. There were a lot of interesting presentations and discussions relating to climate modelling this year on what they called “Earth and Space Science Informatics” sessions, including ocean dynamics and climate modelling sessions.
This year, ACCESS-NRI participation at EGU included presentations from our Director, Andy Hogg, Our Associate Director, Kelsey Druken, Team lead of the MED team Romain Beucher, and Data Management Lead, Clare Richards.
“EGU was a great opportunity to interchange ideas with lots of people and organisations, including infrastructure/data people at CEDA and Helmholtz working on similar data challenges than us,” said Kelsey
“My highlight of the Conference was a very interesting talk on bugs in climate models — making the case that we need to spend more effort finding them in the first place, and communicating about what changed,” said Andy.
“My highlights included the opportunity to chat about data and software with folks from the ESMValTool and CMIP communities, as well as some interesting presentations on water management in Australia in the remote sensing session, and a session on the impacts of climate change on biodiversity”, said Romain
“It was great to see how different organisations are tackling similar data challenges to ours, and to get the opportunity to learn from others,” said Clare Richards
