The University of Wisconsin System was awarded a $631,062 project grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) to "UNDERSTAND AND REDUCE UNCERTAINTY IN E3SM'S LAND-ATMOSPHERE FEEDBACKS ON CARBON, WATER, AND ENERGY IN RESPONSE TO WILDFIRE DISTURBANCE." The grant, effective from September 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025, will support fundamental scientific research to expand understanding of land-atmosphere interactions and the impacts of wildfire disturbance on carbon, water, and energy cycles. The research aims to improve climate modeling capabilities, specifically the Department of Energy's Earth System Model (E3SM), to better predict the effects of wildfires on the environment. As a leading public research university, the University of Wisconsin System is well-positioned to conduct this critical work in support of the Department of Energy's mission to advance scientific discoveries and technological innovations that enhance U.S. energy, economic, and national security.
