 ## 1 About
 
-{{ model }} couples the **Ice-Sheet and Sea-Level System Model (ISSM)** to the ACCESS infrastructure, enabling fully parallel Antarctic and Greenland ice‑sheet simulations on the [NCI _Gadi_ supercomputer][gadi].
+{{ model }} integrates the **Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM)** to the ACCESS climate modelling framework, enabling fully parallel ice‑sheet simulations on the [NCI _Gadi_ supercomputer][gadi].
 
 It is maintained and supported by **ACCESS‑NRI**.  
-A high‑level description of model components—including the ISSM core, pre‑processing utilities, climate forcings, and coupling hooks—is available in the [{{ model }} overview]({{ model_configurations }}/#{{ model }}).

+The example below reproduces the ISSM controbution to the third [Marine Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project](https://tc.copernicus.org/articles/14/2283/2020/) (MISMIP+) benchmark for ice flow models.
 
 ## 2 Prerequisites
 
-1. **NCI login + Gadi project** – request `access` and `vk83` memberships if you do not already have them.
-2. **Spack ISSM environment** – follow the build recipe in [https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/access-issm](https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/access-issm).  You should end up with `ISSM_DIR` and a Spack `issm-env`.
-3. **Modules** – at minimum:
+!!! warning
+    To run {{ model }}, you need to be a member of a project with allocated _Service Units (SU)_. For more information, check [how to join relevant NCI projects](/getting_started/set_up_nci_account#join-relevant-nci-projects).
+
+- **NCI Account**<br>
+    Before running {{ model }}, you need to [Set Up your NCI Account](/getting_started/set_up_nci_account).
+
+- **Join NCI projects**<br>
+    Join the following projects by requesting membership on their respective NCI project pages:
+
+    - [vk83](https://my.nci.org.au/mancini/project/vk83/join)
+    - [xp65](https://my.nci.org.au/mancini/project/xp65/join)

+- **Modules**
+
+  Load the following modules:
+
    ```bash
-   module load python3/3.10.4   # matches the version used for ISSM Python API
+   module load python3/3.9.2 #3.10.4
    module load git
