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.
