To celebrate this milestone, a workshop-conference-hackathon-party was organized. The goal of the event was to showcase how Parcels is used by different researchers, and learn from each other.
Researchers from Utrecht University’s Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research Utrecht (IMAU) played an important role in the case study of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the Subpolar Gyre, ocean systems that strongly influence how heat is distributed across the planet.
“In the past, there were periods much warmer than today,” says Anna von der Heydt. “By looking at what happened then, we can learn what might lie ahead.”
Climate Physics master’s students from IMAU were challenged to explain science behind two recently published papers, based on storytelling and scientific rigour. They pleasantly surprised their lecturers with their remarkable creativity and impact.
