We deliver world-class computer simulations for climate, weather and Earth systems, specifically designed for Australia and the southern hemisphere. NCRIS-enabled #NCRISimpact
🌏 Behind every COP summit is a massive global climate modeling effort that compares Earth system models around the world: #CMIP7. Read this article by @andyhogg.bsky.social and Tilo Ziehn about how Australia is participating to help predict our planet's future.

- Harshula Jayasuriya and Aidan Heerdegen collaborated with Emily Kahl from @pawseycentre.bsky.social for a BoF session on using Spack for building software environments 🏗️
The overarching theme of the conference was the value of enabling research through software and data. We are privileged at ACCESS-NRI to have this as our focus. 👨💻 👩💻
It was great to see the collaboration between ACCESS-NRI and other NCRIS facilities during the conference:
💡 Sharing knowledge and expertise with peers is important.
ACCESS-NRI had strong representation at the eResearch conference last week, with staff members participating in 10 sessions across the 3-day conference. 🧑🏫

Our #ACCESSCommunity25 Workshop is officially open in Melbourne and we're absolutely overwhelmed by the amazing turnout from our community!
A special acknowledgment to the powerful Welcome to Country ceremony from Wurundjeri Elder Tony Garvey.
Looking forward to three days of talks + discussions!
The ACCESS Training Day 2025 was a success: 5 structured sessions, 9 unstructured sessions and approx 60 participants on topics covering use of the ACCESS models (CM3, ESM1.5, CABLE, AM3, OM3) and GitHub Best practices, evaluating ENSO, Xarray and Dask and more! #NCRISImpact #ACCESSCommunity25 🎉

Global map showing sea surface temperature anomalies in July 2025 relative to 1982 to 2010. Most areas are warmer than average. Red is shown for warmer sea surface temperatures, and blue is shown for colder sea surface temperatures. Data is from NOAA OISSTv2.1.
Woah, the hot spot across the northern Pacific is even more prominent in last month's sea surface temperature map. This is really quite striking! Though the extratropics in both hemispheres are warmer than average too.
Data from @noaa.gov OISSTv2.1 at www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/opt...
