Description:

Recent extreme weather events have increased awareness of the impact of climate change on the earth’s ecosystems – and the resulting impacts on society as ecosystem services such as food, water, security, and shelter are under increasing stress. This session invites abstracts on developments in ecosystems modeling and ecological forecasting that are enabled or facilitated by high performance computing and other technologies that enable these applications to provide insight into changes in the natural environment and the impact of these changes on society. Abstracts are invited on topics such as infrastructure and computational support, development and use of digital twins, use of cloud computing resources in ecological forecasting and for ecosystem modeling, and software tools to facilitate development of these models, as well as other emerging tools and techniques.
