Climate Mitigation and Earth System Management from Local to Global Scale: Modeling Technology-Driven Futures

智力优势。开发和应用一个综合技术驱动的地球系统模型供社区使用，将提供一个现实的评估全球变化对空气质量的影响，水压力，森林固碳和氮吸收在2046-2055年相对于2001-2010年在全球，区域和城市领域。 该项目的结果有可能帮助政策制定者评估当前和未来的多污染物排放控制战略，以实现减缓气候变化、空气质量控制和农业生态管理的共同效益。 更广泛的影响。综合地球系统模型将使科学界、美国联邦和州政府机构以及其他利益相关者和最终用户在科学研究和监管决策分析方面受益。这种系统有可能对各种问题产生深远影响，从预测气候和经济变化、适应和减缓气候变化到促进全球可持续发展。 研究的跨学科性质将提供一个重要的机会，培养博士后和学生，并扩大未来的科学家在能源，大气化学，气象学，气候，水文学，生态学和计算机科学的接口池。

Intelectual Merit. The development and application of an integrated technology-driven earth system model for community use will provide a realistic assessment of the effects of global changes on air quality, water stress, and forest carbon sequestration and nitrogen uptake during 2046-2055 relative to 2001-2010 over global, regional, and urban domains. Results from this project has potential to help policy makers to assess current and future multiple-pollutant emission control strategies for co-benefits of climate change mitigation, air quality control, and agro-eco management. Broader Impact. The integrated earth system model will benefit the scientific community, U.S. federal and state governmental agencies, and other stakeholders and end users for both scientific research and regulatory decision analyses. Such a system has potential for far-reaching consequences for issues ranging from forecasting climate and economy change and climate change adaptation and mitigation at all scales to the promotion of global sustainable development. The interdisciplinary nature of the research will provide a significant opportunity to train post-docs and students and broaden the pool for future scientists at the interface of energy, atmospheric chemistry, meteorology, climate, hydrology, ecology, and computer sciences.
