EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM MODELING is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) Earth and Environmental Systems Sciences Division (EESSD). Our focus is on the development, evaluation, and use of regional and global integrated Earth system models, to understand the interactions between climate and energy-related activities, and to inform adaptation to shifts in climate and societal requirements.

WACCEM Pushes Groundbreaking Research on Modeling the Water Cycle and Extreme Events
A scientific focus area in DOE’s Earth and Environmental System Modeling (EESM) Program studies the roles of large-scale circulation and convection in the water cycle and the implications for variability and multidecadal changes of extreme events Planet Earth harbors 1.5 trillion cubic kilometers of water, which is cycled continuously between ocean, atmosphere, and land....
Precipitation Processes Workshop Takes on Challenges, Builds New Research Connections
Each year in the United States, extreme events associated with precipitation—flooding and droughts—impact the nation with billions of dollars in damage and devastating consequences for people and communities. A key to reducing these impacts is understanding the critical processes responsible for precipitation, the sources of predictability of precipitation, and the extent...
