Science and Synthesis
• Role of synthesis in advancing science• Merger of synthesis with experimental and
observational science

Pace of Shifting Climate in Marine and Terrestrial Ecosystems
Burrows et al. 2011. Science 334:652-655“The velocity of climate change is two to seven
times faster in the ocean than on land in the sub-Arctic and within 15° of the equator...”

Synthesis over time

Software in the science lifecycle
From Reichman, Jones, and Schildhauer; doi:10.1126/science.1197962

Software for the Earth, Life, and Environmental Sciences
• Statistical analysis– e.g., R, SAS, Matlab, Systat, Excel, etc.
• One-off models (by students, faculty, etc.)
• Custom analytics (e.g., Primer, MetaWin, MaxEnt)
• Modeling frameworks (e.g., ROMS)
• Community models (e.g., Century, Community Climate Model)
• Workflows (Kepler, VisTrails, …)
• Computing engines (e.g., Sun Grid Engine, Amazon ECS)
• Data management (DataONE, Metacat, DataUp)
• Service computing (Blast, WMS, WFS, …)

Software challenges
• Wide range of software types• Code Complexity and Quality• Reproducibility• Systems integration• Development and maintenance are labor
intensive– NSF not set up for infrastructure/maintenance
• Software lifetime long compared to hardware• Under-appreciated value
![Page 10: Institute for Sustainable Earth and Environmental Software ISEES](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f27550346895dcdf2c6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ISEES Vision
• Massively accelerate science– (Earth, environmental, and life science)
– Enable collaboration and integration across disciplines
– Invent, develop, integrate, mature, and sustain software• used throughout the scientific lifecycle
![Page 11: Institute for Sustainable Earth and Environmental Software ISEES](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f27550346895dcdf2c6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ISEES Structure
• Community driven initiative– Provide mechanisms to empower the community– Model after synthesis centers
• Prioritize based on science drivers• Link to community initiatives such as ESIP• Enable a new generation of open, reproducible
science

Strategic planning approach
![Page 14: Institute for Sustainable Earth and Environmental Software ISEES](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f27550346895dcdf2c6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Science Drivers
• Goal: Explore science drivers for ISEES– (some drivers, not *the* drivers)
• Connect the science drivers to software needs
• Envision role of a software institute in enabling science
