Why?
| Project Objective: | The major scientific questions ACCEDE will address are: 1) Where are the tipping elements in Earth’s climate and ecosystems? 2) What are the dynamics of ecosystems-climate feedbacks that drove rapid desertification in subtropical North Africa 6,000 years ago? And 3) where can climate models with realistic forcings simulate changes comparable to those observed? |
| Call Objective: | SEI targets initiatives that are well positioned to bring together environmental, social and economic scientists with data scientists, computational scientists, and e-infrastructure and cyber-infrastructure developers and providers for a shared goal; to solve methodological, technological and/or procedural challenges facing interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary environmental change research that involves working with large, diverse and transnational, multi-source data. The SEI CRA will closely link research thinking and technological innovation toward accelerating the full path of discovery-driven data use and open science. This will enable a broader scientific community to benefit from the identified new and potentially disruptive demonstrators or pilots toward solutions. |
