The Carbonate Focused Research Group (C-FRG) is part of the Community Surface Dynamic Modeling System program. C-FRG is one of several sub-groups within CSDMS and is tasked to make progress addressing the grand challenges for fundamental research on ancient and modern carbonate systems. The plan is to accomplish this through creation of the next generation of numerical carbonate process models under the umbrella of the CSDMS initiative. The models we develop will be both a repository for state-of-the-art knowledge on carbonate systems and a spur to collect, analyse and interpret data on carbonate systems. +
The Chesapeake FRG is the first Geographically-Focused Research Group associated with CSDMS. The group is a partnership between CSDMS and the Chesapeake Community Modeling Program (CCMP, http://ches.communitymodeling.org/) currently run by the Chesapeake Research Consortium. Follow this link to find out more about the CSDMS Chesapeake FRG.
CCMP developed as the Chesapeake Bay research community came together to cooperatively build an open source system of watershed and estuary models. Through support from CRC member institutions and the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office, CCMP modelers have committed to developing a modeling framework that will enable free and open access to code specific to the Chesapeake Bay region. As a complementary activity to the CBP modeling program, the Chesapeake Community Model Program strives to develop a comprehensive model consisting of interchangeable individual modules covering all aspects of hydrodynamics, ecosystem dynamics, trophic exchanges, and watershed interactions towards a future linked watershed-estuary model. There are obvious areas of overlap between CSDMS and CCMP, and the CSDMS Chesapeake FRG intends to capitalize on synergies from both programs.
So, in addition to the geographical focus, attendance at the meeting will enable you to stay abreast of cutting-edge research developments applicable to many areas of study. The meeting intends to:
# get everyone up to speed on CCMP, CSDMS and model integration pathway that CSDMS is employing (modified CCA for the Architecture and framework, BABEL as the language independent compiler, modified OpenMI for interface standards, etc.),
# get everyone up to speed on appropriate Chesapeake modeling tools in use by the CCMP community,
# get everyone up to speed on the valuable field data that CCMP offers for code testing,
# develop some simple, doable short term, intermediate term and longer term goals for the group, and
# perhaps assign some tasks to the members. +

The group is a partnership between CSDMS and the Chesapeake Community Modeling Program (CCMP, http://ches.communitymodeling.org/) currently run by the Chesapeake Research Consortium. Follow this link to find out more about the CSDMS Chesapeake FRG.
The purpose of the Chesapeake Focus Research Group is to combine the forces of CSDMS and CCMP to assemble an open source system of watershed and estuary models applied to the Chesapeake Bay region. Ideally, a collection of interchangeable models and model components will be gathered to address hydrology and hydrodynamics, watershed-estuary exchange, sediment transport, water quality, ecosystem dynamics, and trophic exchanges within the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed.
So, in addition to the geographical focus, attendance at the meeting will enable you to stay abreast of cutting-edge research developments applicable to many areas of study. The afternoon discussions (See agenda below) intends to:
# Formal role for CSDMS Chesapeake Focus Research Group (ChesFRG) as the academic research arm of CCMP.
# Population of the ChesFRG pages at CSDMS with existing (and/or links to) open-source Chesapeake Bay region models.
# Population of ChesFRG pages at CSDMS with exisiting (and/or links to) common model forcing data (e.g., rainfall, winds, bathymetry, etc).
# Identification of priority models for CSDMS linking in Intialize-Run-Finalize (IRF) format, perhaps EPA/NOAA CBP models + ChesROMS.
# Strategies to enable sensitivity testing and model/module exchange among CSDMS IRF formatted models.
# Establishing a specific ChesFRG focus on water quality and ecosystem modeling.
# Avenues for group proposals including finding support for full-time ChesFRG-oriented personnel such as a dedicated post-doc. +

The Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative (GSBI) and EcoFINDERS are pleased to announce the First GSBI Conference - Assessing Soil Biodiversity and its Role for Ecosystem Services, to be held in Dijon, France, December 2-5th, 2014. This will be a dynamic international meeting summarizing the current state of knowledge and recent advancements in the science of soil biodiversity.
The conference will provide a venue to meet and discuss current research efforts in soil biodiversity and its links to earth processes, and to promote interdisciplinary collaboration. The goal of this meeting is promote scientific research on the role of soil biodiversity for ecosystem functions and ecosystem services, and to integrate such understanding into international environmental agendas, sustainable policy and land management decisions.
'''Conference themes'''<br>
The Earth’s soils are living, dynamic interfaces that are habitats for millions of microbial and animal species. The activities of soil biota are critical to the well-being of human societies because their activities underpin the delivery of major ecosystem services. Without soil biota, the soil resource as we know would not exist, and the services that we rely on for sustainability would all but cease.
To meet the challenges of global changes while sustaining the productivity of our natural and managed lands requires not only knowing the role of soil biota, but also implementing that knowledge. It is therefore of utmost importance that we effectively synthesize and incorporate the growing scientific knowledge on the provision of vital ecosystem services by soil biodiversity into future regional and national management and policy plans. +
The Global Water System Project (GWSP) and its International Project Office (IPO) is organizing with financial support of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) an international conference on Sustainable Development Goals: A water perspective to be held at
MARITIM Hotel, Bonn, Germany on 17-18 August 2015.
In the face of global change, sustainable development represents the major challenge for human development while dealing with the increased demand for scarce resources under environmental and socio-economic constraints. Currently, UN member states with the help of international community of experts, stakeholders and policy makers are involved in finalizing the formulation of sustainable development goals (SDGs), and setting the post 2015 development agenda through complex negotiating process which will guide the national and international efforts of sustainable development till 2030.
Sustainable development is very strongly connected to the availability of sufficient and good quality water for the preservation of healthy ecosystems and is critical for socio-economic and human development. Water is and remains a crucial factor of adaptation to the intertwined challenges that humankind faces in the light of global change.
Currently, the SDGs have been formulated as a draft in the report of the United Nations Open Working Group’s (OWG) and they are expected to be adopted at the UN high level summit during the forthcoming 70th UN General Assembly. The emerging resolution includes a dedicated water goal addressing water resources management and service provision for sustainable development aims of societies, and promote human dignity. However, given several dimensions of water governance and management problems, there are several challenges related to the implementation of this goal, and particularly on how the targets could be monitored, their achievement measured and assessed based on the linkage of water supply and sanitation management to human wellbeing, healthy ecosystems and economic productivity, while taking into account also its hazard potential.
The water SDG framework poses a number of conceptual as well as implementation challenges that requires enhancing the close collaboration between the policy and scientific communities and other stakeholders, including industry. It is important to engage in a partnership between science, policy, industry, agriculture and civil society at large to implement and monitor the achievement of SDGs.
The conference intends to play a key role in helping the science community to interact with the international policy consultation process to inform, and catalyse action by key actors—including policymakers, non‐governmental organizations, the private sector, educators, and researchers as agents of change.
This conference will bring together available information, identify knowledge and action gaps, share lessons on viable instruments and approaches, facilitate networks, and create a platform for moving toward action on the SDGs. This conference will create an opportunity for co-production of knowledge, incubate ideas involving scientists and different stakeholders to be partners in the post-2015 development process, and develop knowledge-to-concrete actions and innovative solutions while implementing and monitoring the achievement of the SDGs.
The conference web page will be available soon
