Modelling the Whole Earth System - a challenge whose time has come! An ICES Workshop WMO Salle C2, Geneva, Switzerland 22 nd November 2011

The Blue Marble – Borderless, Integrated, Holistic

Our Active & Dynamic Sun

Our Influential Moon

How to Model and Simulate this Complexity? WEATHER & CLIMATE ENVIRONMENT BIOSPHERE EARTH SYSTEM & ITS RESOURCES SOCIOECONOMICS THE SOLAR SYSTEM

The ICES Challenge … To model the Earth System as a whole - an Holistic Approach Multiscience (physical, chemical, geo, bio, socio-economic) Multiscale (spectrally, spatially & temporally) Unitary & seamless … to integrate, connect & couple what we already know!

ICES Experts Committee Dr. Ghassem Assrar: Director, World Climate Research Programme, WMO, Geneva Professor Martin Beniston: Chair for Climate Research & Director, Institute of Environmental Science, Uni Geneva Professor Marc Palange: Dean of the School of Architecture, Civil & Environmental Engineering, EPFL Dr. Michael Rast: Head of the Programme Planning Office, Directorate of Earth Observations, ESA Professor Jagadish Shukla: President, Institute of Global Environment and Society, USA

It is still a very big challenge to bridge from scientific understanding to policy creation!

ICES will extend, embrace & integrate … From Natural Sciences to Socioeconomic Sciences WeatherFood ClimateWater EnvironmentHealth Solar, PlanetaryEducation CosmologyEnergy, Transport … a 10-year path to understanding the planet Earth while generating a unitary knowledge system that leads to safer policies and better governance – a ‘CERN for the Climate’!
