OGGM Open Meeting

# OGGM Open Meeting ###### tags: `OGGM` `meeting notes` Our meetings have a simple structure! They usually take somewhere between 20 mins and an hour, depending on the agenda! 1. **General Announcements and reminders** 2. **Flash updates** 3. **Project updates** 4. **Group agenda points** 5. **Topical discussion** 6. **Action items** - **Flash updates** are a quick round of short updates (~2-3 minutes) by all participants (please also write them in the shared notes). Here you can request for additional agenda items that require longer discussions (example: "I have a problem understanding XY"). Even if you have nothing to report you will be asked to say hi, and tell us something else about your week instead! - This is followed by **Project updates**, during which we revisit the currently opened projects on github (for example, a documentation update, a paper led by a community member, the next OGGM version, etc.). - **Group agenda points** are longer, open discussion points of the day. This could be something that needs input from all participants, a discussion about model choices, a project requiring input from the community, or a prepared presentation by one of the members. Note that **our goal is to keep "Flash/project updates" + "Open agenda" well under one hour** in order to keep a dynamic meeting. - **Topical discussions** are more technical items that may not be of interest to everyone (e.g. about a specific problem, master thesis, etc.). These will take place after the official part. - **Action items**: what needs to be done after the meeting and by who ## Call: 2026-04-22 16:00-17:00 CET Please sign in below so we know who will be/was here: - Fabien Maussion / Bristol - Marin Kneib / ETH Zürich - Nicolas Gampierakis / Bristol - Patrick Schmitt / University of Innsbruck - Niklas Richter / University of Innsbruck - Bea Recinos / University of Edinburgh - Larissa van der Laan / University of Copenhagen - Lea Hartl / ÖAW ### Action items from last week ### Flash updates - Fabien: - OGGM 1.6.3 released - - Survey launched - 19 answers and counting - Loads of motivation and ideas for changes in oggm: https://github.com/OGGM/oggm/issues - OGGM workshop invoice will be coming soon - Marin: - Avalanche tutorials - https://tutorials.oggm.org/stable/notebooks/tutorials/running_oggm_with_avalanches.html - Playing with OGGM calibration possibilities & different mass balance models.

Lily: we could also ask everyone to introduce themselves in one sentence there, it would be a nice collection, though maybe too much work for everyone? ... We may just need someone who checks once per month all new people and asks them to introduce themselves (if they have not yet introduced themselves... this is probably not too much work?) ### Questions? - discussion on FSM2trans (Marin and Bea) - oggm hub -> give people access -> can bea help? But she thinks that we may need a protocol...may also make sense to split the work (for two people, change every month or so)? Maybe put these kind of changing rules into an OGGM community calendar? ### Action items - Lily asked: how can we make the meetings a bit longer/more interactive again? -> no solution yet, but we will think about it ## Call: 2025-02-05 16:00-17:00 CET ### Participants Please sign in below so we know who will be/was here: - Anouk Vlug / @anoukvlug - Marin Kneib / ETHZ - Ben Marzeion / @benmarzeion - Lilian Schuster /@lilianschuster - Sarah Hanus - Weilin Yang ### General Announcements and reminders ### Action items from last week ### Flash updates - Marin - OGGM global simulations with avalanches - Sensitivity analysis - MSc student starting to invert SMB from remote sensing data with IGM and constrain spatial variability of snow accumulation - Ben - looking forward to the Oslo workshop! - physical move of the Bremen working group to new building early/mid March, but hardware questions seem to be solved - hub/classroom got upgraded with more RAM - Weilin - combineds 2D icepack model with OGGM - Lilian - preparing Oslo presentation about GlacierMIP3 glacier and climate model uncertainites - will go to this workshop later today: -> https://wcrp-cmip.org/event/model-selection-workshop/ -> any specific thoughts? - glacier overshoot study basically accepted - Anouk - Back to the LIA manuscript - Sarah - writing up PhD dissertation - some follow-up studies use the CWatM-OGGM coupling ### Group agenda points - future GlacierMIP options - discussed the already "available" options - Marin liked the "partitioning of mass balance components" comparison - additional ideas: glacier "runoff" intercomparison ### Questions? ### Action items ## Call: 2025-01-22 16:00-17:00 CET ### Participants Please sign in below so we know who will be/was here: - Anouk Vlug / @anoukvlug - Bea Recinos / University of Edinburgh / @bearecinos - Lilian Schuster / University of Innsbruck / @lilianschuster - Patrick Schmitt / University of Innsbruck / @pat-schmitt ### General Announcements and reminders ### Action items from last week Report by Fabien in absence: - [/] 2025 OGGM workshop: *likely to happen towards autumn, in Grenoble or somewhere easy to reach (e.g. Amsterdam, Brussels). Also shorter: 3 days. We will seek input from community on this. 2026 workshop to be organised in Obergurgl, in big fashion for the 10 yr aniversary* - [x] oggm.org migration: *we picked a date in march - for that day, most of OGGM services (not the cluster or gdirs) will be down.* - [x] Cluster migration: *no migration planned at this stage. Some plans for the hubs in the future. (addition from Ben, also absent today: Timo confirmed that the only downside are vastly reduced data transfer rates for the Bremen group, and he is somewhat optimistic he can event circumvent this issue; worst case: larger down/uploads are done by physically carrying a hard drive to the building with the rack)* ### Flash updates - Bea - Submitted manuscript to [GRL](https://essopenarchive.org/users/881139/articles/1260076-mapping-ice-stream-sensitivity-in-the-amundsen-sector-to-changes-in-ice-velocity-observations) and giving a talk about this on Friday in Bristol. (Finally two weeks of full focus on IRF!). - Submitted HiPerma proposal to NERC, lead by [Dr. Qi Ou](https://edwebprofiles.ed.ac.uk/profile/dr-qi-ou), on permafrost thawing in HMA (to hired 2 posdocs in Edi). - Ready to work on the calving module but preparing bristol talk atm. - Lilian - worked further on the [goodbye-glaciers.info](https://goodbye-glaciers.info/) website - thinking about writing a proposal (https://www.fwf.ac.at/en/funding/portfolio/careers/erwin-schroedinger), eventually related to glacier projections beyond 2100, specifically temperature overshoot scenarios and glacier irreversibilities, but topic is still open - looking into open post-doc positions - analysing again GlacierMIP3 model differences for Oslo - Anouk - Larissa her decadal manuscript was re-submitted - Now working on revising another co-authored manuscript - Marin - OGGM globals simulations with avalanches - thanks for the support! - Analysis of results - very exciting :) ### Group agenda points ### Questions? - Bea: - When in March will the OGGM servers will be down? Will this affect oggm.edu and the Hub? Can I pre-book time 2hrs already for the 10th and 13th of March for a Glacier hydrology lecuture? - Anouk: - best practices on ... ### Action items ## Call: 2025-01-08 16:00-17:00 CET ### Participants Please sign in below so we know who will be/was here: - Fabien Maussion / University of Bristol / @fmaussion - Marin Kneib / ETHZ - Anouk Vlug / @anoukvlug - Patrick Schmitt / University of Innsbruck / @pat-schmitt - Lilian Schuster / University of Innsbruck / @lilianschuster - Ben Marzeion / UBremen /@benmarzeion - Lizz Ultee / NASA Goddard / @ehultee ### General Announcements and reminders ### Action items from last week - [ ] 2025 OGGM workshop - [ ] oggm.org migration - [ ] Cluster migration ### Flash updates - Fabien - Nice study making use of OGGM (best figure is in the supplementary material!): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01597-w - Digital Twin project kicked-off: https://dtcglaciers.org. Next milestone is presentation at a digital twin meeting at ESA early Feb - New OGGM-Edu app by Finn and Lizz: https://edu.oggm.org/en/latest/glacier_runoff.html - Started thinking about what it would entail to clone part of OGGM infrastructure to Bristol. Not easy... - TODO for this year: steering committee https://community.oggm.org/roles.html - I forgot! A new research software engineer at Bristol (see Slack) - Marin - Global runs with OGGM-Snowslide (representation of avalanches) on OGGM cluster. Some debugging involved, but overall very exciting. - Patrick - new task compute_fl_diagnostics_quantiles (still needs to be documented) - working on new mechanics for proviing different parameters to dynamic runs (e.g. sensitivity experiments, MCS, make dynamic calibration more flexible), will open a PR this week - Lilian - submitted PhD dissertation before Christmas - Patrick and me are working on the https://goodbye-glaciers.info website/project (still seeking for feedback) - Site is blocked on NASA computers and maybe other US gov't...Lizz will check further details - thinking about what doing after PhD - Anouk - Giving feedback on Larissa's manuscript to be resubmitted tomorrow - Other co-author paper as well - Ben - news from Jan: 3rd PhD-paper accepted ### Project updates [Github community projects](https://github.com/orgs/OGGM/projects/3) ### Group agenda points Steering commitee : https://community.oggm.org/roles.html OGGM steering committee: - asking on Slack seems good - clear expectations about what to do - democratic process? Maybe at least an open process - members should stay for a certain time? - somewhere between 5 and 9 (one person from PyGEM / IGM, one person using OGGM for teaching, one person representign users, one developer, one ECS, etc.) ### Questions? ### Action items - Ben, Timo and Fabien to follow-up on the physical location of the cluster. - Same group to think to migrate the oggm.org - Fabien to follow-up on the Steering Committee idea ## Older notes See https://github.com/fmaussion/hackmd-notes
