Advancing Earth System Models to increase understanding of Earth system change
Funds Earth-system modelling projects that improve how climate models capture feedbacks like ice, ocean, carbon and vegetation.
This Research and Innovation Action from the European Commission funds Earth-system modelling projects that improve how climate models capture feedbacks like ice, ocean, carbon and vegetation, with around two grants of roughly EUR 7.5 million each expected from the topic's own EUR 15,000,000 budget for 2025, paid as a lump sum under the Commission's 2021 lump-sum contributions decision. Standard H…
The Commission wants proposals that improve Earth system models by better representing feedbacks between climate, oceans, ice, carbon and vegetation, with a focus on regional climate variability and extreme events such as heavy precipitation. It expects projects to bring different modelling approaches together to feed the next generation of Earth system models.
