Would it be good to also change the title in the menu at the right?
In that case the mkdocs.yml nav entry should be changed.


## About
The Cryosphere Community Datapool (CCD) is a joint project between ACCESS-NRI and the [Cryospheric Sciences Working Group (CSWG)](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/c/cryosphere/34). The CCD has been designed as an open-access and freely available cryospheric data resource for the community, and houses a variety of datasets commonly used to parameterise ice sheet models. Datasets are currently grouped into the following categories:

## CCD Python API `ccdtools`
## ccdtools (CCD Python API)

**ccdtools** is the open-source Python CCD interface developed by ACCESS-NRI that provides seamless access to the data located within the CCD from with your Python workflows and scripts. The **ccdtools** library offers an intuitive interface for discovering, accessing, and analysing diverse data sources including satellite observations, in-situ measurements, and model outputs. The package features a powerful dataset catalog system, enabling users to efficiently retrieve and work with data commonly used for ice sheet modelling, climate analysis, and cryospheric studies.

## How to contribute
The Cryosphere Community Datapool is always growing and evolving to meet the changing needs of the Australian cryosphere community, so if you have suggestions for additional datasets not listed above, please [create an Issue](https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/ccdtools/issues) using the **New Dataset Request** template in the [ccdtools Github repository](https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/ccdtools). For broader discussions around cryospheric data, please start a thread in the [Cryosphere Data Category](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/c/cryosphere/data) of the [ACCESS-Hive Forum](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/).

A "Back to top" button shows up whenever you scroll up on the website, so I don't think there is the need to add other links for it.
