Department of Energy Office of Science Biological and Environmental Research 5 TES PI Meeting April, 2012 Division principles Science centric Products are “community-based” Scientific productivity and innovation efficient DOE mission relevance Maps to USGCRP priorities

Strategic Planning The Energy-Environment-Climate Nexus Building on our CESD mission: To advance a robust predictive understanding of Earth’s climate and environmental systems and to inform the development of sustainable solution to the Nation’s energy and environmental challenges. Greenhouse gases are emitted during energy production… and climate change will impact energy production

Division Strategic Goals 1.Synthesize new process knowledge and innovative computational methods advancing next generation, integrated models of the human- earth system. 2.Develop, test and simulate process-level understanding of atmospheric systems and of terrestrial ecosystems extending from bedrock to the top of the vegetative canopy. 3.Advance fundamental understanding of coupled biogeochemical processes in complex subsurface environments to enable systems-level prediction and decision support. 4.Enhance the unique capabilities and impacts of the ARM and EMSL scientific user facilities and other BER community resources to advance the frontiers of climate and environmental science. 5.Identify and address science gaps that limit translation of CESD fundamental science into solutions for DOE’s most pressing energy and environmental challenges.

Department of Energy Office of Science Biological and Environmental Research 8 TES PI Meeting April, 2012 Platforms for science integration Observational Infrastructure Community Models Community Data Infrastructure Uncertainty characterization Computing Numerics Resolution Extremes Thresholds Tipping points ARM IFRC EMSL ESG Ameriflux CESM System integration PCMDI CDIAC GCAM

What does society want us to predict? Risk analysis – Rates of change of means and generic extremes – Multi-parameter pdf’s of extreme event sets – Water and food supply – Energy supply (influenced by climate and weather) – Sea level rise – Thresholds and system tipping points Mitigation – Benefits of technology insertion – Policy choices

Serious gaps in earth system predictability Clouds/aerosols/precipitation/radiation Carbon cycle Water cycle Ice sheet dynamics Dynamical multi-scale interdependencies Biogeochemistry of ecosystem change (oceans and terrestrial)

Department of Energy Office of Science Biological and Environmental Research 11 TES PI Meeting April, 2012 NGEE Concept (Next Generation Ecosystem “Experiment”) Target systems that are: – Globally important – Climatically sensitive – Under studied or under represented in models Carefully couple modeling and field/laboratory research / planning Representation of scale/resolution of a high resolution Earth System Model (ESM) grid cell (i.e., a maximum 30x30 km grid size)

Interagency Context USGCRP Interagency Group on Integrative Modeling (IGIM) – Thematic: extremes, thresholds, tipping points – “earth” system modeling: water, carbon, ecology – Future investments: HPC, CMIP6 infrastructure – Various agency roles: coordinate, collaborate – Response to NRC report recommendations Assessment studies – IPCC – National Climate Assessment
