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

The listing of abstracts organized per session can be seen here: E3SM Presentations on PI Meeting per Session . The session chairs are currently deciding what abstracts will be presented as oral talk and which will be posters. This should be announced early in the week of Oct 22.
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:
Extreme-scale computational modeling
Extremes, variability, and change
Integrated water cycle
Parallel breakout sessions include:
Extremes - understanding and modeling single and compound extremes: storms, floods, droughts, heat waves, fire, and other climatologic, hydrologic, land, and socioeconomic disturbances
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
High latitudes - science of coupled high-latitude systems, including feedbacks, interactions and teleconnections with lower latitudes
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
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
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.

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.
