4 I.Overview of CICS & AOS

5 History-1 June 1967: A “collaborative program in geophysical fluid dynamics” was established between Princeton University and NOAA’s precursor, the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA) The collaborative program was run by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program, later renamed the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) Program, an academically autonomous PhD degree granting entity within the Department of Geosciences. Facilities: GFDL sits in a University building on Forrestal Campus, and members of the AOS Program (faculty, students, post-docs and researchers) sit in Sayre Hall or in the GFDL building.

6 October 2003: CICS was established by combining – the collaborative program in geophysical fluid dynamics – a collection of new research initiatives gathered together in the Princeton Climate Center (PCC) of the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI) Rationale – recognized the rapidly growing role of Princeton University investigators in helping GFDL fulfill its mission – Leveraged a wide range of related research supported by Princeton University, other government agencies, and private sources – Allows us to tap into University expertise in human dimensions – Allows us to take advantage of the Joint Institute administrative framework, putting us on the same playing field as other Joint Institutes June, 2008: CICS award renewed after re-competition History-2

7 What is CICS?-1 A grant from NOAA to PU, providing – TASK I: administrative support for CICS – TASK II: support for students and post-doc and senior scientists to be educated (via Princeton University) and get ‘hands-on’ training at GFDL. – TASK III: support for collaborative activities between NOAA and University scientists.

8 What is CICS?-2 Vision: -To be the world leader in understanding and predicting climate and the environment, integrating physical, chemical, biological, technological, economic and social dimensions, and in educating the next generations to deal with the increasing complexity and importance of these issues.

9 II. Research

10 Task III: Major University Contributions The contributions of PU and GFDL form a seamless whole. Below are important contributions that involve senior CICS scientists: 1.Earth system modeling and analysis – Land and ocean biogeochemistry model development (Pacala & Sarmiento et al.) – Development of computational frameworks for ESMs (Balaji et al.) – Development of ocean model core and parameterizations (Adcroft & Legg et al.) – Developing a continental scale ice-sheet model (Sergienko et al.) 2.Earth system model applications – Understanding coupled atmosphere-ocean dynamics (Vallis et al.) – Carbon uptake and biogeochemical cycling in the ocean and land (Sarmiento & Pacala et al.) – Hydrology (faculty from Civil and Environmental Engineering)

11 Task II: The Post-Doctoral and Visiting Scientist Program Program details – A standing crop of about a 10 junior scientists (postdocs), funded by CICS. – Postdocs are selected by a Postdoc selection committee, which consists of University and GFDL senior scientists. Post-doc appointments are then formally made through the University. – Senior scientists from other Universities may visit for short periods for joint research or sabbaticals. A central goal is to attract and keep the brightest young people in the field Postdoc program has been extremely successful, with many faculty and NOAA appointments. Post-docs will discuss their projects in a poster session.

14 III. Education

15 The AOS Graduate Program The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) Program is an autonomous Program, part of the Dept. of Geosciences. Typically has faculty, of which typically about are GFDL employees. Many courses are taught by GFDL scientists. About 15 students in total. Supported in their first year by the University, subsequently by GFDL as well as grants and fellowships. 85 Ph. D. graduates of the Program. One of the most successful in the country. Graduates have taken faculty or positions at U. Washington, NYU, Caltech, University of Michigan, and research positions at NASA, NOAA, NCAR, chair of U. Washington Atmospheric Science Program, etc.

16 Present Employment of AOS PhD Recipients: TOTAL85 Faculty positions3339% Government (research, etc.) 17 (3 at GFDL) 20% Research in academic setting1315% Research in non-academic setting1113% Unknown or other1113%

17 IV. CICS Future

18 Move to Main Campus Tremendous opportunities for synergistic research in, for example: -Climate: Global warming, its consequences, its mitigation, energy, policy. -Paleoclimate; biogeochemical cycling. Enhanced collaboration with Geosciences, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Ecology and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton Center for Theoretical Science, etc. Opportunity to become the leading university/institution in the country for environmental/climate sciences. Intellectual problems with societal impact, well suited to PU.

19 Ongoing Scientific Initiatives CICS has played an important role in developing initiatives in major areas such as: -ocean biogeochemical modeling -land biogeochemical modeling -continental ice sheet modeling Areas of high priority to NOAA that CICS is trying to advance include impacts of climate change on – fisheries – terrestrial and oceanic ecology – hydrology
