White Papers

White papers were solicited from the scientific community to focus on development and application of AI methods in areas relevant to EESSD research with an emphasis on quantifying and improving Earth system predictability, particularly related to the integrative water cycle and associated water cycle extremes. The white papers describe innovative approaches to improving the predictability of the Earth system. We expect that a novel framework, derived from white paper concepts and a series of workshops, will improve capabilities for knowledge capture and distillation that provide future computational constructs across the EESSD research enterprise. We anticipate that exascale computing, edge computing, 5G/6G, and use of quantum computing and quantum sensors will be further developed during this period. View the call for white papers (PDF)
