Integrated Global Biogeochemical Modelling Research Networks

Announcement of Opportunity to establish two networks to develop collaboration and strategic focus of research activities

Closing date: 16:00 on 29 February 2012 via Je-S system.

Proposals are invited to establish two research networks to develop collaboration and strategic focus for research activities in the areas of Ocean Biogeochemistry and Atmospheric Chemistry modelling. This call is for full proposals for teams/networks to deliver development of robust, process-based model metrics and demonstration of traceable performance across models of differing complexity in the areas of Ocean Biogeochemistry and Atmospheric Chemistry. Up to £1·2m (£600k each) is expected to be available for this funding round.

This work is part of the NERC Research Programme: 'Towards Implementation of the Earth System Modelling Strategy'. This £3·6m programme directly relates to the delivery of NERC strategy, in particular the Climate Systems and Earth System Science Themes. It is expected that in both atmosphere and ocean cases the network will deliver explicit research activities (eg on metrics) as well as desk studies and community discussion. Proposals should outline indicative research activities and show how they will be developed within the network.

Enquiries regarding the NERC administrative aspects of this call should be addressed to Dr Chris Baker (in office only Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday).
