Summer Workshops on Climate Change Impacts and Integrated Assessment of Climate Change (Final Technical Report)
- Stanford Univ., CA (United States)
This grant supported a long sequence of summer workshops in Snowmass, Colorado that began in 1996. The last workshop in this sequence was held in the summer of 2016. This annual event was a centerpiece in the Department of Energy’s support for the creation and maintenance of a community of practice in integrated multi-sector dynamics research and modeling. These workshops brought together key members of the multi-sector dynamics modeling community with other researchers engaged in relevant research on multi-sector (energy, water, land, etc., dynamics) research to participate in discussions of cutting-edge research topics and develop collaborative approaches for addressing open research challenges. This grant provided funds to leverage BER and other federal research investments in the development of appropriate multi-sector dynamics modeling methods by expanding interactions and promoting collaborations between the community of researchers engaged in this research and those involved in other energy and environmental systems research programs. This process is augmented through various outreach activities including periodic presentations and web-based and other internet-based methods for disseminating key scientific findings and to otherwise engage broader participation in pre- and post-workshop discussions and information exchange. The main goals of the summer workshop series were to: Build and support an integrated multi-sector dynamics (iMSD)research community of practice; Infuse best-in-class science into iMSD research activities; Exchange international iMSD research perspectives and information; Accelerate research integration among the iMSD, the sectoral impacts, and earth and environmental systems modeling communities; Develop collaborative scientific perspectives on significant iMSD research challenges; Build collaborations in addressing the challenges; and Develop processes to share information more broadly within the iMSD and the associated family of research communities. The funding provided for this workshop series has helped the energy and environmental systems modeling research community in general - and the multi-sector dynamics research community in particular - make progress on addressing these and other significant research and community building challenges.
