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.

Those intending to submit abstracts MUST complete both registration and abstract submission by COB, September 24th.
Submit an E3SM poster/presentation
If you plan on submitting poster/presentation to the DOE PI Modeling Meeting, please make sure to submit it on https://www.orau.gov/modeling2018/abstracts.htm. page, but also submit it on our Confluence page here
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.
