What a success to gather TipESM and OptimESM in a joint annual meeting to share interesting results with each other and discuss topics for collaboration also inviting other EU-projects, IPCC and UN Human Rights. We are looking forward to elaborate further on the collaboration! #ESM #Tippingpoints

Thank you @tipesm.bsky.social colleagues for the first day of valuable knowledge exchange and insights! We look forward to continue the discussions today to strenghten our collaboration on #EarthSystemModelling and #TippingPoints

OptimESM colleagues gathered in Copenhagen and online for a frutiful first day of the GA. Many milestones have been reached and it was discussed how to move forward with the results and the remaining tasks. Check out the list of publications on the OptimESM website: optimesm-he.eu/resources/pu...

Today started the OptimESM General Assembly in Copenhagen and online with project updates and breakout groups! The two following days we will continue the meeting together with TipESM. Looking forward to many interesting discussions!

OptimESM project leader, Torben Koenigk, co-chaired the session Ocean climate and marine systems: consequences of missing the warming targets of the Paris Agreement, at the Swedish Climate Symposium in Lund, 20-22 May and René Navarro-Labastida presented. swedishclimatesymposium.com/ocean-climat...

EGU26 has started!! Yesterday OptimESM colleague Mikhail Ivanov (OptimESM WP6 and SMHI) presented his talk with the title: Can ML-based statistical downscaling models reliably extrapolate into the future? Check out the OptimESM related sessions at EGU here: optimesm-he.eu/2026/04/29/o... #optimesm

Excited to see OptimESM actively shaping the conversation at EGU 2026! From convening sessions to sharing insights across the programme, our team is driving collaboration and progress in Earth system science. Join us for inspiring discussions and new connections! See link in the comments.
