[email protected] The Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for Computational Science/Applied Mathematics (AM)/Computer Science (CS) research to accelerate scientific and computational breakthroughs that can improve the representation of ice sheets and their dynamics in state-of-the-science Climate Models. Applications should complement DOE SC funded climate modeling efforts and evidence partnerships and/or collaborations with such efforts in the model of the DOE SC SciDAC (Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing) Program. Content Guidelines: Applications should justify the impact of the proposed computational science research on advancing dynamical ice sheet modeling at the petascale for improved understanding and prediction of global climate. Topics and content may include incorporation of scalable and parallel petascale solvers and unstructured or structured grids into coupled models that include ice sheet dynamics; performance and load balancing studies that improve scalability and performance; uncertainty quantification and verification/validation, as well as parallel I/O and technologically robust petascale data archival, retrieval, management and visualization techniques and tools. Structure and Organizational Guidelines: (i) Applications should show clear evidence of collaborations and/or partnerships with BER-ASCR funded SciDAC Projects and/or BER funded climate modeling efforts and enhance these efforts. (ii) Applications should clearly articulate management plans for the project and communication procedures for the collaborations and/or partnerships.
