After morning workshops, ICCS Summer School participants spent yesterday afternoon relaxing and exploring what Cambridge has to offer. 🌿 One party visited @cubotanicgarden.bsky.social while another took a walking tour. Other attendees enjoyed board games before heading off to watch the football 😐

🚀 We had another exciting day packed with hands-on learning, expert-led sessions and fun networking at the ICCS Summer School. The day was quite full-on, so it was fantastic to relax in the evening in the beautiful setting of @sidneysussex.bsky.social for drinks and formal dinner.

⭐ The 2026 ICCS Summer School has started in style! Professor Steve Easterbrook gave a keynote titled Computing the Climate: The past and future of global climate modelling. A range of workshops followed, with a chance for delegates to get to know each other over drinks and nibbles.

Tiny, coin-sized swirls hidden deep beneath the ocean are quietly driving some of the biggest forces shaping our climate - and they're moving far faster than scientists once believed 🌍 This research was led by @cambridge-earthsci.bsky.social Read more 👉 https://bit.ly/4f5FABg

📢 New paper published today in @natcomms.nature.com: Climatic reach of small-scale turbulence in the ocean interior The paper explores how deep ocean turbulence affects our lives not on a scale of thousands of years as previously thought, but within a human lifetime. www.cam.ac.uk/research/new...

😎 Our annual Summer School kicks off on 13 July at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences. Attendees will enjoy a mix of keynote seminars, panel sessions, workshops, collaborations and social events. If you missed out on a place this time, don’t worry - we’ll share recordings on our YouTube channel.

🌿 It was great to meet so many people at last week's Climate and Nature Research Showcase, organised by @cambridgezero.bsky.social. It's really useful to chat and spread the word about ICCS. Training and resources were two things that lots of people wanted to talk about – what are your thoughts?
