The joint CSDMS - SEN* 2016 annual meeting will focus on “advances in simulating the imprint of climate change on the land and seascapes, including the processes that influence them”. We would like presentations to either focus on the impacts of present and future climate change, or how climate change has impacted the earth in the past. Topics of interests also include modeling research that integrate different disciplines, different scales, and the synergy between models and experimental data. As in past meetings, keynote speakers are by invitation only, and poster presentations are the general media.

The meeting will include:

  1. State-of-the art keynote presentations in earth-surface dynamics and modeling
  2. Hands-on clinics related to community models, tools and approaches
  3. Transformative software products and approaches designed to be accessible, easy to use, and relevant
  4. Breakout sessions for Working, Focus Research Groups and the Initiatives
  5. Poster Sessions

and more!

CSDMS will host a Pre-conference one-day Software Carpentry bootcamp on Monday May 16th, 2016. The objective is to teach basic programming skills that will be useful for scientific computing and model development. This is an intensive, hands-on workshop, during which certified instructors will cover basic elements of:

  1. the Unix bash shell,
  2. Python programming and NumPy, and
  3. Github for version control.

Our instructors are earth scientists and have familiarity with the CSDMS framework, such that lessons and examples will be targeted toward relevant problems in your field. The bootcamp intentionally precedes the CSDMS meeting, so the skills participants develop should be useful in the clinics during the meeting.
