Celebrating
A Decade of Progress
The E3SM project began in 2014 with a 10-year vision of modeling the climate on exascale machines. That bold decadal vision was achieved in 2023 and was recognized with the Gordon Bell Prize in Climate Modeling.
We are very proud of what the project team has achieved and look forward to celebrating this decade of progress.
E3SM v3.0
A New Version was Tagged
Version 3.0 of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model was formally frozen and tagged in the project repository in March, 2024. After this date, only maintenance and bug-fix updates will be made to this version.
Users of v3.0 are requested to delay submitting papers that use this new version or any new feature (that may be turned off in the code) until the project submits a publication on its new development (within approximately 6 months to a year), thereby creating a peer-reviewed article for reference. Please read the project Policies and Acknowledge E3SM.
AGU 2023 E3SM Town Hall “A Decade of Earth System Modeling Effort at the DOE”
The recording of the presentation on “E3SM as an Open Science Model Development Project” from the AGU 2023 Town Hall: “E3SM: A Decade of Earth System Modeling Effort at the Department of Energy” can be found on E3SM YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwwyxmaPiMY. (This is a portion of the Town Hall presentation that was not presented at AGU on 12/12/23 due to time limitation.) The pdf of this presentation is available here and the full Town Hall presentation can be found here.
