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 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.

Structure of the Meeting
From Dorothy's email on
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.
