GENIE Earth System Modelling workshop
|
Earth system modelling is a burgeoning field ripe for the application of e-Science technology. The Grid ENabled Integrated Earth system modelling (GENIE) framework has been developed to enable the flexible coupling together of fast Earth system models, their tuning and ensemble simulations on the Grid, and the retrieval and post-processing of model output. The scientific focus is on long timescales and large ensemble studies. The framework supports different models and/or resolutions of the atmosphere, ocean, sea-ice, land surface, ice sheets, marine biogeochemistry, terrestrial vegetation and soil. The GENIEfy project is currently exploring different ways of coupling together these components and aiming to develop a framework that integrates with existing approaches and standards from PRISM, the Tyndall Centre’s Community Integrated Assessment System, and the Met Office’s FLUME project .

The workshop and accommodation will be in Homerton College, Cambridge.
It is anticipated that the workshop may generate interest in some follow-on activities. We will discuss the sort of follow-on activities that can be arranged, such as visits to NIEeS to demonstrate some of the escience/grid technologies and to provide help with installation and usage.
This event is now fully booked. If you wish to be added to the reserve list, then please email us at admin@niees.ac.uk
For information about registration, and all other types of queries, please contact the NIEeS office in the first instance.
