CMIP6 Data Hackathon
2–4 June 2021

The Climate Modelling Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6) Data Hackathon is a 3-day hackathon event, organised by the University of Bristol’s Jean Golding Institute and Cabot Institute on behalf of the Bristol, Exeter, Leeds and UCL Met Office Academic Partnerships (MOAP). Over the course of the event, teams of academic researchers from across the UK will work on research questions set by the MOAP partners related to weather and climate and CMIP6 data. We encourage contributions specifically from early career researchers, including PhDs and Postdocs.

Please see our webpage (https://cmip6moap.github.io) for details of the projects submitted.

Closing date for applications is [16 April 2021].
