Consciousness can be understood as a reflexive semiotic capacity through which environmental structure internally models, evaluates, and modifies the conditions of its own persistence and transformation.

🚀 Our #nextGEMS overview paper is out!

After three years of intense collaboration, we’re thrilled to share a comprehensive look at what the nextGEMS project has achieved: a milestone for #ClimateModelling 🌐

For the first time ever, nextGEMS has produced multidecadal #climate simulations with kilometer-scale resolution across the ocean, land, and atmosphere, using the ICON and IFS-FESOM Earth system models. 🌍

🔹 The project unfolded over four development cycles, each releasing new configurations of ICON and IFS-FESOM.
🔹 These were rigorously evaluated at our hackathons, bringing together climate scientists, software engineers, HPC experts, and users from sectors like energy and agriculture.
🔹 By the end of the fourth cycle, we successfully ran 30-year simulations (2020–2049) at an impressive ~500 simulated days per day on the Levante supercomputer at German Climate Computing Center | DKRZ |.
🔹 Simulations reached ~5 km resolution in the ocean and ~10 km on land and in the atmosphere, offering unprecedented detail.

Furthermore, the simulations form a core building block for the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin in the Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative. In other words, nextGEMS' work paves the way for the next generation of European climate research. 🇪🇺

🌦️ “The small-scale matters for the large-scale!” - C. Hohenegger

When the Storms & Land group began their #nextGEMS journey, their mission was clear: find out how explicitly resolving #storms and land-surface features at km-scale changes our understanding of #ClimateVariability.

Over the past four years, under the leadership of Cathy Hohenegger (MPI-M), the team explored how precipitation and #temperature patterns over land are shaped by fine-scale features, such as rivers and soil moisture, and how these effects can differ dramatically from coarser #ClimateSimulations.

The results? Surprising, and a reminder that small details can have global consequences.

▶️ Watch the full video, titled "Small-scale resolution reshapes our understanding of land-climate dynamics", in our Media Library (Project outcomes) to hear Cathy explain the discoveries and their significance.

🌍 Pushing #ClimateModeling to the Next Level

What happens when you run global climate #simulations at the kilometre scale for multiple years

In our latest blog post, we share insights from a landmark #nextGEMS study using ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System coupled to high-resolution ocean–sea ice models.

These simulations capture fine-scale processes—from mesoscale #OceanEddies to #UrbanHeat patterns—that coarser models can’t resolve, offering a more realistic picture of our climate system. Along the way, the team tackled key challenges, from water and #EnergyConservation to improving the simulation of #ExtremePrecipitation and polar sea ice leads.

💡 The results point towards more accurate, actionable climate information—but also highlight the huge computational demands of this frontier.

Are you in #EarthScience and interested in improving #AcademicPublishing options in your field? I am preparing a proposal for a PCI Eart Sciences, which would be part of https://peercommunityin.org/ family of journals. The digital infrastructure and brand are there, i have benefited as an author and as an editor from PCI Paleo and I can attest to the high quality and robustness of this platform and process. Being involved doesn’t actually require committing a lot of your time, as it takes years to establish a new journal. At this point it is more about launching it and making it visible, so I am primarily looking for mid-to senior-career collaborators who can help steer publications towards this venue. Especially if you’re in the field of #EnvironmentalScience, #Tectonics, #Petrology, #Mineralogy, #PhysicalGeography, #Hydrogeology, #EarthSystemScience and #Climate you are most welcome as these fields are underrepresented in my network. You can contribute by becoming an editor, pledging a submission, or helping recruit a BigName in your field (maybe that’s you?). Please have a look at https://peercommunityin.org/ or get in touch. #OpenAccess #OpenScience #geoscience #OpenPeerReview

‘We’re All Asgardians’ a talk on the origins of Eukaryotes (us) with implications for our present-day immune systems by Brett Baker, University of Texas, Austin. Dr. Baker inaugurated the EPS Wares Distinguished Public Lecture series.

Eukaryotic cells are most closely related to the 'Hod' branch of the Asgard branch of the Archaea.
