NRC Climate Modeling Study Prospectus and Call for Nominations

Dear All,

NRC called for nominations (prospectus attached).  If interested in serving on this committee, please send your nomination info (self or colleague) to me at your earliest and on behalf of the CCIWG, we will submit your or colleague's nomination to the NRC for consideration.

Best regards,

A National Strategy for Advancing Climate Modeling - Call for Nominations
( A detailed study prospectus, including the committee’s full statement of task, is attached.)
If you have not done so already, please provide your nomination about this NRC study, which will be conducted by a committee composed of approximately 16 volunteer experts, who will meet five to six times over the next 18 months to develop a final consensus report following normal NRC policies and procedures.  The committee will build on previous work by domestic and international groups, and a workshop will be held early in the study process to solicit input from a broad range of stakeholders.

Expertise Needed: Desired committee member expertise includes: global climate and Earth system modeling, regional climate modeling and downscaling, atmosphere and ocean dynamics, biogeochemical cycles, climate forcing and feedbacks, parameterization development, observations and validation approaches, ensemble methods, data management and access, high performance computing, uses and applications of model output, integrated assessment, and institutional and management issues.  Nominees can include individuals from private, public, and non-profit institutions (including foreign nationals and federal employees not in policy-making positions) who are willing to participate in a dynamic, interdisciplinary, consensus-oriented activity.

To Submit Nominations: Please submit the nominee’s name, contact information, and a description of the nominee’s qualifications to JaNeise Sturdivant via email at jsturdivant@nas.edu

Please include a description of the nominee’s unique qualifications to serve on this committee, not just the person’s name and resume.
