Breakout Session IV - CC&E Contributions Towards Analyzing Impacts and Consequences of Global Change Modeling Challenges and Forecasting Impacts Co-Chairs: S. Doney 1, C. Vörösmarty 2,3 1 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 2 University of New Hampshire 3 As of 1 September: City College of New York/CUNY

Breakout on Modeling/Forecasting Co-Chairs: S. Doney, C. Vörösmarty Original Core Questions: What research can we conduct to better address the impacts and consequences of global change? What actions would be most useful to or supportive of future assessments? What are the greatest challenges and opportunities (relevant to the breakout topic)?

New Demands on Earth System Science Global Policy on Climate Change Security Challenges –Infrastructure at Risk –Food Security –Energy Security –Water security –Economic development Public Need for Accurate Information

The Day Has Arrived Where We Need to Think of Regional Carbon Inventories and Regional Ecosystem Management

Well-Intended Ooops! Decisions being made by non-scientists on an Earth system that includes biogeophysics and humans Failure of ESS knowledge to be conveyed A ‘learning moment’?? For us: forecast user needs For the rest: no silver bullets Google search: 29 April 2008

Breakout on Modeling/Forecasting Co-Chairs: S. Doney, C. Vörösmarty Are NASA research results adequately informing the assessment process? (e.g. IPCC- FAR, Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, ACIA) If so….job done! If not, what is the strategy forward: –Droning on re: “we need more data”, “we need better models”? OR….. –New ways of thinking through Different ideas on the use of data? ID high impact data? Different classes of models? Different target audiences? (e.g. private sector, media vs just other scientists) Other approaches
