Description
The
Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science
(SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hereby announces its interest in
receiving research applications for terrestrial ecosystem science. The goal of
the Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) program is to improve the
representation of terrestrial ecosystem processes in Earth system models
thereby improving the quality of climate model projections and providing the
scientific foundation needed to inform DOE?s energy decisions. The TES program
will consider applications on measurements, experiments, modeling and synthesis
that provide improved quantitative and predictive understanding of the
terrestrial ecosystem that, in turn, can affect atmospheric greenhouse gas
concentration changes and thereby affect the greenhouse gas forcing of climate.
In addition, the Earth System Modeling (ESM) Program, which funds development
of the Community Earth System Model (CESM) will consider applications focused
on development and coupling of the CESM land model component. The emphasis of
this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to understand non-managed
terrestrial ecosystems in the context of a changing climate. Applicants should
pose their research applications in the context of representing terrestrial
ecosystem processes in Earth system models.
