Fresh Eyes on CMIP is a new working group integrating the voices of early career researchers, scientists and practitioners in CMIP. Researchers, scientists and practitioners early in their career provide a unique insight into climate science. Coming into the system more recently enables ECRs to have a fresh perspective on CMIP. ECRs regularly undertake the often time-consuming task of generating, downloading, processing, and analysing data from CMIP and as such, have a unique, working insight into the successes and flaws of CMIP phases. “Fresh Eyes on CMIP” is a new working group comprised of scientists, researchers, and practitioners in the early stages of their careers to sit alongside the CMIP7 task teams.

In this talk, as one of the Fresh Eyes on CMIP Steering Group co-leads, I will introduce the current objectives of the Fresh Eyes group, and present some of the recent projects which have started within the group.
