Just a reminder for two AGU Town Hall meeting hosted by the US Department of Energy.
TH22A: DOE's Strategy for Next Generation Ecosystem Experiments Date Time: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM. Location: 2002 (Moscone West) Host: Daniel Stover, Michael Kuperberg and, Dorothy Koch (US Department of Energy) The US Department of Energy will host an AGU Town Hall Session on our strategy for the Next Generation Ecosystem Experiments (NGEE)on Tuesday, December 4th. The NGEE programs combine experimental and modeling components into long term field studies that target sensitive climate ecosystems. These studies emphasize basic science, yet package research to advance community modeling capabilities. The first NGEE project studies ecosystems experiencing permafrost thaw in the Arctic; a second NGEE is targeted for Tropical ecosystems. DOE program managers and NGEE scientists will present an overview of the NGEE strategy as well as discuss research efforts and future collaborations. TH32B: Strategies for Leadership Class Computing and Climate Modeling at DOE Date/Time: December 5, 2012 from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM Location: 2003 (Moscone West) Host: Dorothy Koch (US Department of Energy) The US Department of Energy will host an AGU Town Hall Session on strategies for leadership class computing and climate modeling at DOE on Wednesday, December 5th. DOE strategies for advancing computationally intensive climate modeling including its Climate-Computing (BER-ASCR) SciDAC partnership program will be discussed. Additionally, prospects for computational advances in accelerated systems (eg GPUs) and challenging extreme-scale architectures, and how climate modeling research may co-evolve will be discussed. Community input is invited on climate-computing modeling priorities, relevant research gaps and computational limitations. __________________________________________ Daniel B.
