About the Postcards

This publication presents a collection of simulations and visualizations depicting phenomena investigated in climate research, created by scientists from the nextGEMS project. These visuals have been reimagined as vibrant postcards and were designed to communicate scientific concepts through engaging and accessible imagery.

About the NextGEMS project

NextGEMS (Next Generation Earth Modelling Systems) is building prototypes for a new generation of Earth system models to advance science, guide policy, and inform applications to support the sustainable management of our planet. This calendar provides a glimpse into the beauty of the first simulation runs within the project by our two models IFS (Integrated Forecasting Systems, by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts – ECMWF ) and ICON (Icosahedral Nonhydrostatic Weather and Climate Model, by the Max Planck Institute of Meteorology – MPI-M).
