This year’s TerraFIRMA General Assembly took place successfully at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in Cambridge on 19–20 May. Around 52 participants attended in person, with a further 15 joining online. The programme featured science talks and posters spanning the breadth of TerraFIRMA, alongside project updates, breakout sessions, and discussions on future plans.

14 science talks were presented by TerraFIRMA project members, covering topics such as ice shelves and glaciers, tipping points and climate overshoots, methane emissions, aerosols, heatwaves, groundwater modelling, and extreme fire events, etc.

17 posters were displayed both onsite and online, showcasing research on tropical wetlands and peatlands, wildfires, halocarbon chemistry, aerosols, methane emissions, ice sheets and sea ice, groundwater response, TIPMIP ESM, and impact evidence development, etc.

Breakout groups sessions explored analyses based on TerraFIRMA/TIPMIP overshoot and stabilisation runs, as well as topics including cryosphere, atmospheric chemistry and aerosol, hydrology, also planned future analyses and projections for the CMIP Fast Track and UKESM-hybrid development.

Participants found the talks and posters useful and inspiring, with many actively engaging in Q&A sessions and discussions. This annual meeting has fostered productive and forward‑looking outcomes, also provided valuable opportunities for networking and collaboration.
