Workshop

Earth Systems Models: The Next Generation

calendar
Jul 30th, 2006 - Aug 5th, 2006
location
Aspen

This session was held to fuel discussion for the upcoming 2006 Earth Systems Science Partnership (ESSP) and Working Group on Coupled Modeling (WGCM)/AIMES conferences. The objective was to discuss preparation of climate change simulations that would be conducted by the next climate change report from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR5) and to explore key considerations for the next generation of Earth System Models and socioeconomic scenarios.

Keywords: models and modeling; climate change and variability; planning and synthesis, scenarios
