Decadal and Regional Climate Prediction using Earth System Models (EaSM)

This joint research program is conducted by the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and U.S. Department of Agriculture, and is designed to produce high-resolution models for predicting climate change and resulting impacts.  It allows the partner agencies to combine resources to identify and fund the most exemplary and highest-impact projects that support their respective missions, while eliminating duplication of effort and fostering collaboration between agencies and the investigators they support.

The program's goal is to expand current modeling capabilities to better enable decision-makers to develop climate change adaptation strategies. Competitive projects should address key problems critical to linking relevant Earth system processes over a variety of spatial and temporal scales and to advancing the theoretical foundations for the modeling and simulation of existing data and data collected by the NSF environmental observatories.

While the proposal period ended in 2010, from this site, awards are listed from which active projects can be viewed. Also, from the Funding tab, all open proposals related to climate change can be viewed.
