The HPSC TerrSys Fall School took place at Forschungszentrum Jülich between 8 to 12 September 2025. Master’s students, PhD candidates, and postdocs from Germany and across Europe received an introduction to terrestrial modelling in high-performance computing environments. The focus is on the Community Land Model (eCLM) and the Terrestrial Systems Modelling Platform (TSMP2). Participants learned how to simulate land surface processes, biogeochemical cycles, and vegetation dynamics, configure coupled atmosphere–land–subsurface models, and apply data assimilation methods. The Fall School combines theoretical lectures with practical exercises on the supercomputers of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre – offering an ideal opportunity to put scientific knowledge directly into practice.
This year’s speakers include:
-
Mauro Sulis (Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, LIST)
-
Sabine Grießbach (Forschungszentrum Jülich)
-
Heidrun Matthes (Alfred Wegener Institute, AWI)
-
Lars Nerger (Alfred Wegener Institute, AWI)
This event is organised by HPSC TerrSys and supported by Geoverbund ABC/J and the Collaborative Research Centre 1502 DETECT.
