The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $129,436 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to convene an international summit in Fall 2024 to discuss the feasibility of creating a special-purpose computational system for frontier Earth system science and climate projection. The scientific objectives of this project are to bring together international leaders from academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations to examine key questions related to Earth system models (ESMs), the role of artificial intelligence in such models, possible system architectures, and expected benefits. The summit will be streamed live and a final report summarizing the discussions and recommendations will be made publicly available. The project aims to inform society more broadly on the local and regional impacts of climate change by leveraging fine-scale model outputs.
