🚀 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. 🇪🇺

🌍✨ #nextGEMS is coming to an end – but our journey has only just begun.
After four incredible years, the Horizon 2020 Next Generation Earth Modelling Systems project is wrapping up. Together, we set out to make kilometre-scale global #ClimateSimulations a reality — and we did it.
💡 None of this would have been possible without our extraordinary community:
▪️ Scientists from across the globe, pushing the boundaries of climate #modelling.
▪️ Industry and policy stakeholders, helping us connect our science to real-world needs.
▪️ Our organisational team, keeping everything on track.
▪️ LATEST THINKING (lt.org) and all the talented #ScienceCommunicators and visual creators who helped share our story.From Hamburg to Madrid, our #hackathons became so much more than coding sessions — they were spaces to #collaborate, to socialise, to co-create, and to inspire each other.
We are deeply grateful for the friendships made, the knowledge shared, and the breakthroughs achieved. And we’re excited to watch, in the years ahead, how nextGEMS will continue to shape #ClimateScience, #adaptation planning, and the digital twins of the future.
💪 Let’s keep building on this momentum. Let’s keep working together — across disciplines, sectors, and borders — to tackle the challenges of our changing climate.

🌪️ One last taste of our #nextScienceArt series 🎨
Over the past few years, the #nextGEMS project has blended climate science and creativity through #calendars filled with stunning visualizations from cutting-edge #EarthSystemSimulations.
This year, we took a different path—celebrating new and past contest submissions with fresh artistic spotlights.

🌍 Day 2 of the WCRP Global KM-Scale Hackathon 2025 is off to an incredible start!👩💻
📍 At the Hamburg node, participants have formed dynamic groups tackling topics like cloud climatology, aerosols, ice sheets, and more. Moreover, computing companies such as NVIDIA and climate modelling initiatives like #DestinE are also on-site, joining forces to push the boundaries of #ClimateScience. 💡
🔷 #nextGEMS is backing this groundbreaking global event, which brings together scientists, developers, students, and data experts from around the world to accelerate progress in kilometer-scale #EarthSystemModeling. 🌐

Two months after our 4th #hackathon we've had time to remenisc about the amazing people that we met, the inspiring talks that we listened to and artful simulations that we watched.
Our latest blogpost represents a little review of the most important happenings of the km-scale hackathon. You can read it here: https://buff.ly/4d0ksKQ

Some of our #hackathon participants got the chance to listen to Prof. Dr. Bernd Leitl, deputy Director of the Meteorological Institute of the University of Hamburg, talk about the many application fields of the #windtunnel at the #Geomatikum.
A combination of field research, computational modelling and experiments conducted in the wind tunnel in order to receive the most valid and representative results for real world application.

Today, the participants were able to get a close look at Levante, the Supercomputer at #DKRZ.
Levante has been operating since March 2022, increasing the computing capacity at DKRZ four-fold. Its main memory exceeds 800 Terabytes (about 100.000 Laptops) and the computing power 14 PetaFLOPS, which are mainly used for modelling purposes.
Thank you Florian Ziemen for the tour!
