Hold the date - DOE modeling PI meeting - Nov 5-8, 2018 at Bolger Center, Potomac + E3SM all-hands meeting on Friday, Nov 9

 

Word from Dorothy: 

...

Where

Bolger Center, Potomac, MD

When

Nov 5-8  - DOE Modeling PI Meeting

Nov 9, half day – E3SM All-Hands Meeting

What

The meeting will include investigators from across the DOE Laboratory modeling programs (ESM, RGCM and IAR).

...

 It has been a few years since we convened all modeling programs together, and we anticipate a productive and exciting opportunity to share science and generate new ideas.

 update

Dear Modeling PI’s,

...

  It is the joint meeting of the three major modeling communities within the new Earth and Environmental Systems Modeling: Earth System Modeling (Model Development), Regional and Global Model Analysis (Model Analysis), and Multi-Sector Dynamics.

...

  

The meeting has been constructed and partitioned around two main objectives.   First, and with the primary objective of strengthening connections among the three main communities, Days 1-2 will emphasize cross-community information exchange as well as collaborative brainstorming and working sessions on a range of cross-cutting themes.   One of several desired outcomes should be the development of candidate cross-community research topics or collaborative science use cases.  During the second part of the meeting, Days 3-4 will provide each of the three main communities an opportunity to meet separately and conduct work on a range of issues and topics central to their unique science needs and methodological challenges.   To the degree possible, coordinated scheduling for the last two days will seek to enable those individuals engaged in research for more than one of the three main communities to attend the required sessions.   Finally, efforts are underway to provide ad hoc meeting space for working teams on the fifth day, Friday, but a final determination of availability is in the process of being made.   

Registration and hotel Reservation 

The meeting registration (due Oct 1) and for poster/presentation abstract submission (due Sep 24) is:   https://www.orau.gov/modeling2018/

Those intending to submit abstracts MUST complete both registration and abstract submission by COB, September 24th.

As mentioned above, the first two days, Nov 5th and 6th, will focus on integrative and cross-cutting topics involving Model Development, Model Analysis, and Multisector Dynamics, while the 3rd and 4th days (Nov 6th and Nov 7th) will be deep-dives into the three respective areas.  A high-level draft agenda for the first two days is included as a separate attachment.  Major topics and themes spanning all four days are listed below.    


DAYS 1-2   Community-Crosscutting


Panel sessions in plenary include:


  1. Extreme-scale computational modeling
  2. Extremes, variability, and change
  3. Integrated water cycle


Parallel breakout sessions include:


  1. Extremes - understanding and modeling single and compound extremes: storms, floods, droughts, heat waves, fire, and other climatologic, hydrologic, land, and socioeconomic disturbances
  2. Coastal systems - understanding and modeling of coastal systems, influences, and transitions - from urban landscapes and infrastructures to managed and unmanaged ecosystems and regional climatologies and local climatological influences and feedbacks
  3. High latitudes - science of coupled high-latitude systems, including feedbacks, interactions and teleconnections with lower latitudes
  4. Land and land-system dynamics - modeling and research of land-use and land-cover change, terrestrial biogeochemistry, vegetation dynamics, and interactions with tightly coupled atmospheric and hydrologic systems and processes
  5. Data, metrics, and diagnostics -  accessible and agile community data platforms, distributed data architectures for expanding questions/needs, data analytics and adaptable interfaces, machine learning and pattern recognition, model performance metrics and analysis techniques, and diagnostic methods and applications for evaluating and improving models
  6. Tools, frameworks and transition to exascale - modeling frameworks, modular modeling architectures, advanced software constructs, and supporting tools and infrastructure in transition to exascale computing


Note that scheduled poster sessions on the first and second days of the meeting, aligned with the six themes of the parallel breakout sessions, will complement and enhance the discussions and presentations in the breakouts.  Abstracts for presentations, which should align with one of the 6 break-out topics, must be submitted to the meeting website by COB, September 24, 2018.


DAYS 3-4   Community-Specific


The specific agenda for Days 3-4 will be developed in further consultation with the individual communities.  As the agendas for each of the communities firm, they will be transmitted in a final form at a later time, along with other facilitating materials and background documents for the week-long meeting.   Below are the preliminary topics under consideration for the community-specific meetings.

  • Scenario research and development (integrated water cycle)
  • Coastal: multisector dynamics, stressors, and transitions
  • Community leadership, coordination, and working group(s)

Attendee Count and Limitations

We require your early feedback on headcounts and affiliations for planning, budgeting, and logistics.  This meeting will provide significant opportunities for team building, joint planning, and collaboration and we expect will be well attended by all teams.  To that end, a guidepost for teams is to encourage attendance of at least 2-4 people for each million dollars of project funding (or appropriately scaled for fractions thereof). Note however that National Laboratory employees will be limited to the higher number, of no more than 4 people per million annual funding.

Please provide the names of scientists from your institution who will be attending and forward to the cognizant program manager.  We require your action and feedback on attendees by no later than COB, August 27th.  The response should be incorporated into the attached Excel spreadsheet and returned using the same subject line or as a reply to this email. 

 

 

Registration

Registration is compulsory for all participants and must be completed by October 1st.   Those intending to submit abstracts MUST complete both registration and abstract submission by COB, September 24th.      The meeting website, provided below, includes provisions for both registration and abstract submission, as well as remittance of the registration fee (website will be live starting August 21):

https://www.orau.gov/modeling2018.

We’re looking forward to an interesting and productive meeting and your participation and support.   Watch for additional information and updates we will be transmitting over the coming weeks.

Thanks,

The plans for Nov 7-8 (days 3-4) are taking shape. One of those days will focus on E3SM Development and the other day will focus on Model Analysis activities. On the E3SM Development day (see draft agenda below), the priority will be to facilitate discussion among E3SM developers and related E3SM development projects (e.g. SciDAC and other University-led E3SM development projects). We should be able to accommodate many of the related projects with presentations on the E3SM development day, and we will be providing a way to submit abstracts (oral and poster) for those sessions in the coming weeks. If your work fits well within the integrated modeling program agenda (days 1-2, agenda attached) I would encourage you to submit an abstract there, since we probably will not be able to include (oral) presentations by all related E3SM PI’s on the E3SM day. The technical E3SM groups (computing, infrastructure) will meet on the Model Analysis day, since there is little overlap between these communities. It would also be acceptable to submit an abstract to the integrated program (days 1-2 – using the link above) and the E3SM day (instructions to follow) – i.e. up to 2 distinct presentations per person.


November 9 - Day 5 (Friday) will be a half-day of E3SM working-group meetings. Those in the E3SM development community are invited to attend these meetings.
