INTERFACE
The INTERFACE research coordination network brings together three groups within the global change research community:
- Researchers conducting field experiments
- Researchers who use ecosystem-scale models
- Researchers working on land-atmosphere interactions in Earth system models (ESMs).
INTERFACE activities bring together these three groups to advance global environmental change research by
- Incorporating realistic biological responses into ESMs, and
- Facilitating the design of field experiments and computer simulations that are best suited to improving the performance of ESMs.
INTERFACE will hold a series of workshops, working group meetings, and international meetings, starting in early 2011. Watch this page for details. INTERFACE seeks to involve students and postdoctoral researchers in all activities, and will sponsor cross-disciplinary research experiences for students.
