International Summit on a Computational System for Frontier Earth System Science and Climate Simulation & Projection

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
September 29 – October 2, 2024

A key goal of climate science is to utilize sophisticated Earth system models at global resolutions of a few kilometers. Achieving this important goal requires computational capabilities and software frameworks beyond those currently available from commodity resources. The Summit aims to address this challenge by convening an international group of experts from multiple sectors to examine the practicability of co-designing a specialized computational system and modeling framework that supports frontier Earth system science research and climate projection using kilometer-scale global resolution. The summit also will address how output from global high-resolution climate projections can be used – especially locally and regionally – in decision making.

Building a “Large Hadron Collider for Climate Change” – Together

As climate change moves from being a distant threat to a present-day reality, scientific insight into its effects on the planet is more important than ever. The team behind the recent International Climate Computer Summit, co-hosted by NCSA, seeks to empower communities with the information they need to make good decisions about climate change.
