FedConnect: Opportunity Summary

Description

The goal of this FOA is to improve the representation of terrestrial ecosystem and/or subsurface processes, with a view towards advancing sophistication and accuracy of Earth system models, thereby improving the quality of climate model projections and providing the scientific foundation needed to inform DOE’s energy decisions. Applications to this FOA should take a systems approach to understand ecosystems over the multiple temporal and spatial scales that are represented in models (e.g., single process models, ecosystem models, and global models such as the Community Earth System Model and the Accelerated Climate Model for Energy). This emphasis on the capture of advanced understanding in models has two goals. First, it seeks to improve the representation of these processes in coupled models, thereby increasing the sophistication of the projections from those models. Second, it encourages the community to understand and use existing models and to compare model results against observations or other data sets to inform future research directions. It also seeks to encourage an iterative dialog between the process and modeling research communities such that research objectives are designed to address model needs and that modeling efforts are designed to inform process research. Current information on the Environmental Systems Science subprograms (Terrestrial Ecosystem Science and Subsurface Biogeochemical Research) can be found at http://tes.science.energy.gov/ and http://science.energy.gov/ber/research/cesd/subsurface-biogeochemical-research/ respectively.
