Within the confines of our work with RASM and CESM, we will: (i) quantify the added value of using
regional models for downscaling arctic simulations from global models, (ii)
address the impacts of high resolution, improved process representations and coupling between model components
on predictions at seasonal to decadal time
scales, (iii) identify the most important processes essential for inclusion in future high resolution GC / ESMs, e.g. ACME, using CESM as a test bed, and (iv) better quantify the relationship between skill and uncertainty in the Arctic Region for high fidelity models.

Over the course of the semester, students will advise a community group
on an environmental justice advocacy strategy, help clients determine whether they have standing to bring an environmental case, negotiate a RCRA enforcement settlement and a
regional -

on water pollution reduction — among many other exercises.
