Presented at the All Scientist Meeting (1999-07-20 to 1999-07-21 )
The LTER network represents larger physiographic, climatic and ecological provinces that include a diversity of ecosystems. In the LTER sites, including the KBS LTER, there are varying levels of emphasis on simulation modeling to scale up site research findings to the region each represents. To stimulate efforts to model regional ecological processes for the 23 LTER sites, we are coordinating a set of workshops sponsored by the LTER Office in collaboration with the National Partnership for Advanced Computation Infrastructure (NPACI). The first workshop, entitled “Modeling of Ecosystem Processes at Regional Scales”, was held at the San Diego Supercomputer Center in 1998 to facilitate an examination of existing and developing regional models of ecological processes. This workshop was highly successful in that it brought together modelers and would-be modelers of regional ecological processes from 13 of the 23 LTER Sites. The outcome of the SDSC Workshop was to encourage the LTER Community to:All-Scientists Year 2000 Meeting to inform the LTER Research Community of the activities aimed at developing strategies to build and use regional models to characterize the Region represented by LTER sites. The objectives of this workshop are to:The KBS LTER (Gage, Colunga, Skole, and Safir) will participate in this workshop using the CMAIZE model as a case study to demonstrate the use of a modeling interface to remotely manage model input/output data and to visualize the results.
