<div>==NOAA National Water model ==<br />
<br />
The National Water Model ([https://water.noaa.gov/about/nwm NWM]) is a hydrologic modeling framework that simulates observed and forecast streamflow over the entire continental United States (CONUS), southern Alaska (Cook Inlet, Copper River Basin, and Prince William Sound regions), Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. NWM v3 uses SCHISM in its coastal component.<br />

==New pan-Texas coastal operational forecast at Texas Water Development Board==<br />
A new pan-Texas coastal operational forecast at Texas Water Development Board, based on SCHISM 3D now available as [https://midgewater.twdb.texas.gov/index.html Baycast].<br />
<br />
==NOAA's Inland-coastal flooding forecast system: STOFS-3D==<br />
NOAA's Office of Coast Survey and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science developed this modeling system starting from basic science concepts all the way to a pre-operational capacity producing once a day forecasts. The next steps will be to transition this modeling guidance system to full operational capacity in Coast Survey to further support disaster mitigation, coastal resilience, and navigation. This effort is supported through the NOAA Water Initiative (NWI) and the NOAA National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP).<br />

A multi-scale Regional Ocean Current Forecast OpeRational System (ROCFORS) is developed at Central Weather Bureau (CWB), Taiwan, since 2008. This system has coupled 4 different model domains, i.e. from the Pacific to the seas around Taiwan. The modeling system has been constructed based on ROMS and SCHISM and implemented for daily operation. Initial field is derived and analyzed from HYCOM and RTOFS daily forecast. Models are driven by meteorological predictions from NCEP GFS and WRF developed at CWB. Daily operational products are presented on CWB website. A cross-scale system based solely on SCHISM will be implemented in the future to replace the existing multi-level nested system.<br />

'''Project description'''<br/><br />
<br />
We built up an-unstructured modelling system (SCHISM-WWM) for master students’ research projects to study potential tidal and wave energy around Australia. The research aim is to obtain high level of accuracy in predicting tidal and wave energy in this region as previous studies have not been achieved. Our configurations can be tightly coupled between circulation and wave models in both 2D and 3D modes. Therefore, this modelling system can be extended for coastal erosion, inundation, storm surge, biological studies. For further information, please contact us.<br />

'''Project description'''<br/><br />
In February 2010, the storm Xynthia hit the central part of the Bay of Biscay severely. The storm surge locally exceeded 1.5m (Bertin et al., 2011) and peaked at the same time as a high spring tide, causing the flooding of large areas of the low-lying coast. Analysis results show the wave processes are important in the storm surge. The 2DH SCHISM with WWM coupled model was applied in the research. And a highly refined flooding multiscale grid was developed to catch the pysical processes of flooding.<br/><br />

<br />
LNEC: André Fortunato, Anabela Oliveira, Xavier Bertin<br/><br />
'''Project description'''<br/><br />
<br />
Tidal inlets are among the most dynamic environments along the world coastlines while social-economic activities are there concentrated. These problems are particularly relevant in Portugal due to its extensive coastline and the existence of many tidal inlets of social, environmental and economic importance. In the perspective of a sustainable development, it is essential to understand and to be able to predict the long-term evolution of these systems. To achieve these goals, one of the most promising avenues is the development of morphodynamic models, which consist of a set of modules to simulate tidal hydrodynamics, wave propagation, sediment transport and bottom evolution. This project aims at contributing to the advance of an existing morphodynamic modeling system (MORSYS2D) that is under development at the host institution (LNEC). <br/><br />

'''Project description'''<br />
<br />
The Chesapeake Bay and the Coastal Bays of the Maryland/Virginia Atlantic shore are highly valuable and productive ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by degraded water quality and loss of habitat due to both anthropogenic and natural disturbances.<br />
<br />
In an effort to reverse this trend, federal and state governments have implemented a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to control point source and non-point source pollution in each watershed.<br />
<br />
In order to quantify these controls and better understand cause and effect relationships, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is developing numerical hydrodynamic and water quality models and linking them together as a tool for predicting and measuring success of the TMDL effort.<br />
<br />
<br />
Virginia Institute of Marine Science is involved in two TMDL projects in the Chesapeake Bay region:<br />
<br />
<OL><br />
<LI>TMDL scenario development and implementation for the Maryland and Virginia Coastal Bays system.<br />
<LI>Impact on localized water quality resulting from allocation of nutrient loads to dredged material contaminant facilities in Baltimore Harbor.<br />
</OL><br />
<br />
Both projects involve coupling SCHISM and ICM (Integrated Compartment Model). <br />

Aquaculture and other coastal developments in New Zealand have the potential to place increasing pressures on coastal environments. The Cawthron Institute and MetOcean Solutions Limited have been collaborating to produce open-source community models for coastal environments around New Zealand to aid in coastal effects assessments. We are presently utilising and building upon SCHISM community modelling tools associated with Lagrangian and Eularian transport for a range of coastal transport applications (e.g. faecal indicator bacteria, nutrients, oil spills).<br/><br/><br />
We have a number of collaborative projects under-way, but are currently working towards simplifying the set up and analysis of tracers for modelling a range of chemical and biological constituents in aquaculture and coastal discharge assessments.<br/> <br />

A multi-scale Regional Ocean Current Forecast OpeRational System (ROCFORS) is developed at Central Weather Bureau (CWB), Taiwan, since 2008. This system has coupled 4 different model domains, i.e. from the Pacific to the seas around Taiwan. The modeling system has been constructed based on ROMS and SCHISM and implemented for daily operation. Initial field is derived and analyzed from HYCOM and RTOFS daily forecast. Models are driven by meteorological predictions from NCEP GFS and WRF developed at CWB. Daily operational products are presented on CWB website. A cross-scale system based solely on SCHISM will be implemented in the future to replace the existing multi-level nested system.<br />

We built up an-unstructured modelling system (SCHISM-WWM) for master students’ research projects to study potential tidal and wave energy around Australia. The research aim is to obtain high level of accuracy in predicting tidal and wave energy in this region as previous studies have not been achieved. Our configurations can be tightly coupled between circulation and wave models in both 2D and 3D modes. Therefore, this modelling system can be extended for coastal erosion, inundation, storm surge, biological studies. For further information, please contact us.<br />

In February 2010, the storm Xynthia hit the central part of the Bay of Biscay severely. The storm surge locally exceeded 1.5m (Bertin et al., 2011) and peaked at the same time as a high spring tide, causing the flooding of large areas of the low-lying coast. Analysis results show the wave processes are important in the storm surge. The 2DH SCHISM with WWM coupled model was applied in the research. And a highly refined flooding multiscale grid was developed to catch the pysical processes of flooding.<br/><br />

<br />
LNEC: André Fortunato, Anabela Oliveira, Xavier Bertin<br/><br />
'''Project description'''<br/><br />
<br />
Tidal inlets are among the most dynamic environments along the world coastlines while social-economic activities are there concentrated. These problems are particularly relevant in Portugal due to its extensive coastline and the existence of many tidal inlets of social, environmental and economic importance. In the perspective of a sustainable development, it is essential to understand and to be able to predict the long-term evolution of these systems. To achieve these goals, one of the most promising avenues is the development of morphodynamic models, which consist of a set of modules to simulate tidal hydrodynamics, wave propagation, sediment transport and bottom evolution. This project aims at contributing to the advance of an existing morphodynamic modeling system (MORSYS2D) that is under development at the host institution (LNEC). <br/><br />

'''Project description'''<br />
<br />
The Chesapeake Bay and the Coastal Bays of the Maryland/Virginia Atlantic shore are highly valuable and productive ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by degraded water quality and loss of habitat due to both anthropogenic and natural disturbances.<br />
<br />
In an effort to reverse this trend, federal and state governments have implemented a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to control point source and non-point source pollution in each watershed.<br />
<br />
In order to quantify these controls and better understand cause and effect relationships, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is developing numerical hydrodynamic and water quality models and linking them together as a tool for predicting and measuring success of the TMDL effort.<br />
<br />
<br />
Virginia Institute of Marine Science is involved in two TMDL projects in the Chesapeake Bay region:<br />
<br />
<OL><br />
<LI>TMDL scenario development and implementation for the Maryland and Virginia Coastal Bays system.<br />
<LI>Impact on localized water quality resulting from allocation of nutrient loads to dredged material contaminant facilities in Baltimore Harbor.<br />

Aquaculture and other coastal developments in New Zealand have the potential to place increasing pressures on coastal environments. The Cawthron Institute and MetOcean Solutions Limited have been collaborating to produce open-source community models for coastal environments around New Zealand to aid in coastal effects assessments. We are presently utilising and building upon SCHISM community modelling tools associated with Lagrangian and Eularian transport for a range of coastal transport applications (e.g. faecal indicator bacteria, nutrients, oil spills).<br/><br/><br />
We have a number of collaborative projects under-way, but are currently working towards simplifying the set up and analysis of tracers for modelling a range of chemical and biological constituents in aquaculture and coastal discharge assessments.<br/> <br />

A multi-scale Regional Ocean Current Forecast OpeRational System (ROCFORS) is developed at Central Weather Bureau (CWB), Taiwan, since 2008. This system has coupled 4 different model domains, i.e. from the Pacific to the seas around Taiwan. The modeling system has been constructed based on ROMS and SCHISM and implemented for daily operation. Initial field is derived and analyzed from HYCOM and RTOFS daily forecast. Models are driven by meteorological predictions from NCEP GFS and WRF developed at CWB. Daily operational products are presented on CWB website. A cross-scale system based solely on SCHISM will be implemented in the future to replace the existing multi-level nested system.<br />

<br />
'''Project description'''<br/><br />
Columbia River estuary and plume circulation presents a formidable challenge for hydrodynamic models due to the interaction between strong tides, meteorological forcing, high river discharge, and strong stratification. SELFE was originally developed to address these challenges and some details can be found in the SELFE paper.<br />
<br />
The SELFE-enabled virtual Columbia River is a skill-assessed 4D (space-time) simulation environment that offers multiple representations of circulation processes, variability and change across river-to-shelf scales. Circulation includes water levels, salinity, temperature, and velocities. <br/><br />

<br/><br />
'''Project description'''<br/><br />
In February 2010, the storm Xynthia hit the central part of the Bay of Biscay severely. The storm surge locally exceeded 1.5m (Bertin et al., 2011) and peaked at the same time as a high spring tide, causing the flooding of large areas of the low-lying coast. Analysis results show the wave processes are important in the storm surge. The 2DH SCHISM with WWM coupled model was applied in the research. And a highly refined flooding multiscale grid was developed to catch the pysical processes of flooding.<br/><br />

'''Research Team'''<br/><br />
<br />
LNEC: André Fortunato, Anabela Oliveira, Xavier Bertin<br/><br />
'''Project description'''<br/><br />
<br />
Tidal inlets are among the most dynamic environments along the world coastlines while social-economic activities are there concentrated. These problems are particularly relevant in Portugal due to its extensive coastline and the existence of many tidal inlets of social, environmental and economic importance. In the perspective of a sustainable development, it is essential to understand and to be able to predict the long-term evolution of these systems. To achieve these goals, one of the most promising avenues is the development of morphodynamic models, which consist of a set of modules to simulate tidal hydrodynamics, wave propagation, sediment transport and bottom evolution. This project aims at contributing to the advance of an existing morphodynamic modeling system (MORSYS2D) that is under development at the host institution (LNEC). <br/><br />

'''Project description'''<br />
<br />
The Chesapeake Bay and the Coastal Bays of the Maryland/Virginia Atlantic shore are highly valuable and productive ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by degraded water quality and loss of habitat due to both anthropogenic and natural disturbances.<br />
<br />
In an effort to reverse this trend, federal and state governments have implemented a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to control point source and non-point source pollution in each watershed.<br />
<br />
In order to quantify these controls and better understand cause and effect relationships, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is developing numerical hydrodynamic and water quality models and linking them together as a tool for predicting and measuring success of the TMDL effort.<br />
<br />
<br />
Virginia Institute of Marine Science is involved in two TMDL projects in the Chesapeake Bay region:<br />

<LI>TMDL scenario development and implementation for the Maryland and Virginia Coastal Bays system.<br />
<LI>Impact on localized water quality resulting from allocation of nutrient loads to dredged material contaminant facilities in Baltimore Harbor.<br />

Aquaculture and other coastal developments in New Zealand have the potential to place increasing pressures on coastal environments. The Cawthron Institute and MetOcean Solutions Limited have been collaborating to produce open-source community models for coastal environments around New Zealand to aid in coastal effects assessments. We are presently utilising and building upon SCHISM community modelling tools associated with Lagrangian and Eularian transport for a range of coastal transport applications (e.g. faecal indicator bacteria, nutrients, oil spills).<br/><br/><br />
We have a number of collaborative projects under-way, but are currently working towards simplifying the set up and analysis of tracers for modelling a range of chemical and biological constituents in aquaculture and coastal discharge assessments.<br/> <br />

A multi-scale Regional Ocean Current Forecast OpeRational System (ROCFORS) is developed at Central Weather Bureau (CWB), Taiwan, since 2008. This system has coupled 4 different model domains, i.e. from the Pacific to the seas around Taiwan. The modeling system has been constructed based on ROMS and SCHISM and implemented for daily operation. Initial field is derived and analyzed from HYCOM and RTOFS daily forecast. Models are driven by meteorological predictions from NCEP GFS and WRF developed at CWB. Daily operational products are presented on CWB website. A cross-scale system based solely on SCHISM will be implemented in the future to replace the existing multi-level nested system.<br />

<br />
We built up an-unstructured modelling system (SCHISM-WWM) for master students’ research projects to study potential tidal and wave energy around Australia. The research aim is to obtain high level of accuracy in predicting tidal and wave energy in this region as previous studies have not been achieved. Our configurations can be tightly coupled between circulation and wave models in both 2D and 3D modes. Therefore, this modelling system can be extended for coastal erosion, inundation, storm surge, biological studies. For further information, please contact us.<br />

'''Project description'''<br/><br />
Columbia River estuary and plume circulation presents a formidable challenge for hydrodynamic models due to the interaction between strong tides, meteorological forcing, high river discharge, and strong stratification. SELFE was originally developed to address these challenges and some details can be found in the SELFE paper.<br />
<br />
The SELFE-enabled virtual Columbia River is a skill-assessed 4D (space-time) simulation environment that offers multiple representations of circulation processes, variability and change across river-to-shelf scales. Circulation includes water levels, salinity, temperature, and velocities. <br/><br />

<br/><br />
'''Project description'''<br/><br />
In February 2010, the storm Xynthia hit the central part of the Bay of Biscay severely. The storm surge locally exceeded 1.5m (Bertin et al., 2011) and peaked at the same time as a high spring tide, causing the flooding of large areas of the low-lying coast. Analysis results show the wave processes are important in the storm surge. The 2DH SCHISM with WWM coupled model was applied in the research. And a highly refined flooding multiscale grid was developed to catch the pysical processes of flooding.<br/><br />

'''Research Team'''<br/><br />
<br />
LNEC: André Fortunato, Anabela Oliveira, Xavier Bertin<br/><br />
'''Project description'''<br/><br />
<br />
Tidal inlets are among the most dynamic environments along the world coastlines while social-economic activities are there concentrated. These problems are particularly relevant in Portugal due to its extensive coastline and the existence of many tidal inlets of social, environmental and economic importance. In the perspective of a sustainable development, it is essential to understand and to be able to predict the long-term evolution of these systems. To achieve these goals, one of the most promising avenues is the development of morphodynamic models, which consist of a set of modules to simulate tidal hydrodynamics, wave propagation, sediment transport and bottom evolution. This project aims at contributing to the advance of an existing morphodynamic modeling system (MORSYS2D) that is under development at the host institution (LNEC). <br/><br />

<br />
'''Project description'''<br />
<br />
The Chesapeake Bay and the Coastal Bays of the Maryland/Virginia Atlantic shore are highly valuable and productive ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by degraded water quality and loss of habitat due to both anthropogenic and natural disturbances.<br />
<br />
In an effort to reverse this trend, federal and state governments have implemented a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to control point source and non-point source pollution in each watershed.<br />
<br />
In order to quantify these controls and better understand cause and effect relationships, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is developing numerical hydrodynamic and water quality models and linking them together as a tool for predicting and measuring success of the TMDL effort.<br />
<br />
<br />
Virginia Institute of Marine Science is involved in two TMDL projects in the Chesapeake Bay region:<br />
<br />
<OL><br />
<LI>TMDL scenario development and implementation for the Maryland and Virginia Coastal Bays system.<br />
<LI>Impact on localized water quality resulting from allocation of nutrient loads to dredged material contaminant facilities in Baltimore Harbor.<br />
</OL><br />
<br />
Both projects involve coupling SCHISM and ICM (Integrated Compartment Model). <br />

<br />
'''Application description'''<br/><br />
Aquaculture and other coastal developments in New Zealand have the potential to place increasing pressures on coastal environments. The Cawthron Institute and MetOcean Solutions Limited have been collaborating to produce open-source community models for coastal environments around New Zealand to aid in coastal effects assessments. We are presently utilising and building upon SCHISM community modelling tools associated with Lagrangian and Eularian transport for a range of coastal transport applications (e.g. faecal indicator bacteria, nutrients, oil spills).<br/><br/><br />
We have a number of collaborative projects under-way, but are currently working towards simplifying the set up and analysis of tracers for modelling a range of chemical and biological constituents in aquaculture and coastal discharge assessments.<br/> <br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

<hr />
<div>Volume conservation is not enforced in SCHISM but the error is generally small. Mass conservation is enforced with upwind/TVD transport. <br />
<br />
It's important to use proper method in checking the volume conservation. In particular, you should make use of the flag consv_check in param.in, instead of calculating flows using the outputs yourself. This is because the velocity outputs have interpolated from side centers to nodes. Strictly speaking, checking volume conservation in SCHISM entails a calculation of semi-implicit fluxes to be consistent with the original formulation (see transport solver in the online manual).<br />
<br />
Another thing to be aware of is the boundary condition. For example, the imposed river flow is conserved downstream, but if you also impose the elevation b.c., this is not the case anymore. The elev. b.c. as an essential b.c. over-rules the flow b.c. (a Neumann b.c.).<br />

A multi-scale Regional Ocean Current Forecast OpeRational System (ROCFORS) is developed at Central Weather Bureau (CWB), Taiwan, since 2008. This system has coupled 4 different model domains, i.e. from the Pacific to the seas around Taiwan. The modeling system has been constructed based on ROMS and SCHISM and implemented for daily operation. Initial field is derived and analyzed from HYCOM and RTOFS daily forecast. Models are driven by meteorological predictions from NCEP GFS and WRF developed at CWB. Daily operational products are presented on CWB website. A cross-scale system based solely on SCHISM will be implemented in the future to replace the existing multi-level nested system.<br />

We built up an-unstructured modelling system (SCHISM-WWM) for master students’ research projects to study potential tidal and wave energy around Australia. The research aim is to obtain high level of accuracy in predicting tidal and wave energy in this region as previous studies have not been achieved. Our configurations can be tightly coupled between circulation and wave models in both 2D and 3D modes. Therefore, this modelling system can be extended for coastal erosion, inundation, storm surge, biological studies. For further information, please contact us.<br />

In February 2010, the storm Xynthia hit the central part of the Bay of Biscay severely. The storm surge locally exceeded 1.5m (Bertin et al., 2011) and peaked at the same time as a high spring tide, causing the flooding of large areas of the low-lying coast. Analysis results show the wave processes are important in the storm surge. The 2DH SCHISM with WWM coupled model was applied in the research. And a highly refined flooding multiscale grid was developed to catch the pysical processes of flooding.<br/><br />

<br />
LNEC: André Fortunato, Anabela Oliveira, Xavier Bertin<br/><br />
'''Project description'''<br/><br />
<br />
Tidal inlets are among the most dynamic environments along the world coastlines while social-economic activities are there concentrated. These problems are particularly relevant in Portugal due to its extensive coastline and the existence of many tidal inlets of social, environmental and economic importance. In the perspective of a sustainable development, it is essential to understand and to be able to predict the long-term evolution of these systems. To achieve these goals, one of the most promising avenues is the development of morphodynamic models, which consist of a set of modules to simulate tidal hydrodynamics, wave propagation, sediment transport and bottom evolution. This project aims at contributing to the advance of an existing morphodynamic modeling system (MORSYS2D) that is under development at the host institution (LNEC). <br/><br />

<br />
'''Project description'''<br />
<br />
The Chesapeake Bay and the Coastal Bays of the Maryland/Virginia Atlantic shore are highly valuable and productive ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by degraded water quality and loss of habitat due to both anthropogenic and natural disturbances.<br />
<br />
In an effort to reverse this trend, federal and state governments have implemented a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to control point source and non-point source pollution in each watershed.<br />
<br />
In order to quantify these controls and better understand cause and effect relationships, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is developing numerical hydrodynamic and water quality models and linking them together as a tool for predicting and measuring success of the TMDL effort.<br />
<br />
<br />
Virginia Institute of Marine Science is involved in two TMDL projects in the Chesapeake Bay region:<br />
<br />
<OL><br />
<LI>TMDL scenario development and implementation for the Maryland and Virginia Coastal Bays system.<br />
<LI>Impact on localized water quality resulting from allocation of nutrient loads to dredged material contaminant facilities in Baltimore Harbor.<br />
</OL><br />
<br />
Both projects involve coupling SCHISM and ICM (Integrated Compartment Model). <br />

Aquaculture and other coastal developments in New Zealand have the potential to place increasing pressures on coastal environments. The Cawthron Institute and MetOcean Solutions Limited have been collaborating to produce open-source community models for coastal environments around New Zealand to aid in coastal effects assessments. We are presently utilising and building upon SCHISM community modelling tools associated with Lagrangian and Eularian transport for a range of coastal transport applications (e.g. faecal indicator bacteria, nutrients, oil spills).<br/><br/><br />
We have a number of collaborative projects under-way, but are currently working towards simplifying the set up and analysis of tracers for modelling a range of chemical and biological constituents in aquaculture and coastal discharge assessments.<br/> <br />

A multi-scale Regional Ocean Current Forecast OpeRational System (ROCFORS) is developed at Central Weather Bureau (CWB), Taiwan, since 2008. This system has coupled 4 different model domains, i.e. from the Pacific to the seas around Taiwan. The modeling system has been constructed based on ROMS and SCHISM and implemented for daily operation. Initial field is derived and analyzed from HYCOM and RTOFS daily forecast. Models are driven by meteorological predictions from NCEP GFS and WRF developed at CWB. Daily operational products are presented on CWB website. A cross-scale system based solely on SCHISM will be implemented in the future to replace the existing multi-level nested system.<br />

We built up an-unstructured modelling system (SCHISM-WWM) for master students’ research projects to study potential tidal and wave energy around Australia. The research aim is to obtain high level of accuracy in predicting tidal and wave energy in this region as previous studies have not been achieved. Our configurations can be tightly coupled between circulation and wave models in both 2D and 3D modes. Therefore, this modelling system can be extended for coastal erosion, inundation, storm surge, biological studies. For further information, please contact us.<br />

In February 2010, the storm Xynthia hit the central part of the Bay of Biscay severely. The storm surge locally exceeded 1.5m (Bertin et al., 2011) and peaked at the same time as a high spring tide, causing the flooding of large areas of the low-lying coast. Analysis results show the wave processes are important in the storm surge. The 2DH SCHISM with WWM coupled model was applied in the research. And a highly refined flooding multiscale grid was developed to catch the pysical processes of flooding.<br/><br />

Tidal inlets are among the most dynamic environments along the world coastlines while social-economic activities are there concentrated. These problems are particularly relevant in Portugal due to its extensive coastline and the existence of many tidal inlets of social, environmental and economic importance. In the perspective of a sustainable development, it is essential to understand and to be able to predict the long-term evolution of these systems. To achieve these goals, one of the most promising avenues is the development of morphodynamic models, which consist of a set of modules to simulate tidal hydrodynamics, wave propagation, sediment transport and bottom evolution. This project aims at contributing to the advance of an existing morphodynamic modeling system (MORSYS2D) that is under development at the host institution (LNEC). <br/><br />

'''Project description'''<br />
<br />
The Chesapeake Bay and the Coastal Bays of the Maryland/Virginia Atlantic shore are highly valuable and productive ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by degraded water quality and loss of habitat due to both anthropogenic and natural disturbances.<br />
<br />
In an effort to reverse this trend, federal and state governments have implemented a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to control point source and non-point source pollution in each watershed.<br />
<br />
In order to quantify these controls and better understand cause and effect relationships, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is developing numerical hydrodynamic and water quality models and linking them together as a tool for predicting and measuring success of the TMDL effort.<br />
<br />
<br />
Virginia Institute of Marine Science is involved in two TMDL projects in the Chesapeake Bay region:<br />
<br />
<OL><br />
<LI>TMDL scenario development and implementation for the Maryland and Virginia Coastal Bays system.<br />
<LI>Impact on localized water quality resulting from allocation of nutrient loads to dredged material contaminant facilities in Baltimore Harbor.<br />
</OL><br />
<br />
Both projects involve coupling SCHISM and ICM (Integrated Compartment Model). <br />

'''Application description'''<br/><br />
Aquaculture and other coastal developments in New Zealand have the potential to place increasing pressures on coastal environments. The Cawthron Institute and MetOcean Solutions Limited have been collaborating to produce open-source community models for coastal environments around New Zealand to aid in coastal effects assessments. We are presently utilising and building upon SCHISM community modelling tools associated with Lagrangian and Eularian transport for a range of coastal transport applications (e.g. faecal indicator bacteria, nutrients, oil spills).<br/><br/><br />
We have a number of collaborative projects under-way, but are currently working towards simplifying the set up and analysis of tracers for modelling a range of chemical and biological constituents in aquaculture and coastal discharge assessments.<br/> <br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />

<p></p><br />
<br />
We are looking and resourcing our SCHISM capability in MetOcean/MetService here in New Zealand with probably two hires in the next few months. One of the job adverts has gone out to the Coastal List and is also on our website at [http://www.metocean.co.nz/careers] and [https://careers.metservice.com/view-job/379/coastal-oceanographer-scientist/ ], with the role relatively broader than just SCHISM related, but definitely SCHISM or FE modelling would be useful. This role is really situated in the consultancy team here. <br />
<p></p><br />
<br />
The other role we are expecting to begin advertising for soon is more related to the support and development of the operational capacity we have developed and are looking to expand on with respect to SCHISM – including the coupled wave/current capability and tracers for water quality.<br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

== A matlab package for SCHISM pre- and post-processing==<br />
<br />
Dr. Wenfan Wu completed a [https://github.com/wenfanwu/schism-toolbox MATLAB toolbox] designed for SCHISM recently. <br />
<br />
This is a fairly complete toolbox, which can be used to generate most of the input files needed for schism simulations (eg. hgrid.gr3, vgrid.in, bctides.in, shapiro.gr3, sflux and so on), and visualize the model outputs. <br />
<br />
==Python tool to forcing SCHISM with ROMS==<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/ivicajan/ROMS2SCHISM Tool] from Dr. Ivica janekovic to generate boundary, nudging, initial and hotstart files from ROMS:<br />
<br />
<br />
Email to ivica.janekovic@uwa.edu.au for support.<br />
<br />
= Python scripts to visualize SCHISM outputs=<br />
Dr. Benjamin Jacob (Hemlholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Germany) wrote a simple python GUI based on conda.<br />
<br />
You can download the python script [https://github.com/BenjaminJacob86/schismview here] <br />
<br />
= Python GUI to help create a SCHISM LSC<sup>2</sup> vertical grid=<br />
<br />
From Dr. Remy Zyngfogel, a python toolbox to understand how changing one parameter affects the vertical grid.<br />
The user can extract transects and see the shape of the grid in real time.<br />
It is less powerful than using the FORTRAN code but it can gives a first view of what the LSC2 grid will look like.<br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />

<br />
We are looking and resourcing our SCHISM capability in MetOcean/MetService here in New Zealand with probably two hires in the next few months. One of the job adverts has gone out to the Coastal List and is also on our website at [http://www.metocean.co.nz/careers] and [https://careers.metservice.com/view-job/379/coastal-oceanographer-scientist/ ], with the role relatively broader than just SCHISM related, but definitely SCHISM or FE modelling would be useful. This role is really situated in the consultancy team here. <br />
<p></p><br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

<LI> Nov 2018: PostDoc Position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling<br />
<p>code no. 2018/KS 13 </p><br />
<p>The place of employment is Geesthacht, Germany. </p><br />
<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht in Geesthacht, near Hamburg, and in Teltow, near Berlin, conducts materials and coastal research. For further information please refer to: www.hzg.de.<br />
<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />
<br />
The Ecosystem Modelling group at the Institute for Coastal Research is an internationally leading player in the field of trait-based ecosystem modeling (www.hzg.de/ecomod). For further details please contact: Prof. Dr. Kai Wirtz, kai.wirtz@hzg.de<br />
<br />

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist to conduct original research using state-of-the-art hydrodynamic models to understand fish migrations through rivers. The postdoc will work with an integrative team of researchers under the direction of Dr. Andrew Hein at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Dr. Vamsi Sridharan (UC Santa Cruz), based in Santa Cruz, California USA. We are currently advertising a CFD modeling Post-doc position to model the fine-scale hydrodynamics of open water processes in the San Francisco Estuary system, and build parameterizations into a more scalable system-scale coupled hydrodynamic-biophysical model of juvenile salmon migration.<br />
<br />
This position is part of a new multi-year project to build a data-driven hydrodynamic and biophysical model of salmon migrations. We are seeking a researcher with expertise in modeling 3D hydrodynamics (e.g., using SCHISM and OpenFOAM or another CFD tool of their choice) with an interest in merging the physics of flows and the biology of organisms that move through and interact with those flows. Please direct inquiries to Andrew Hein (andrew.hein@noaa.gov) and Vamsi Sridharan (vamsi.sridharan@noaa.gov).<br />
<br />
We have received 3 years of generous funding from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to continue research on developing this model using data-driven methods (read the proposal document here for a background on the project):<br />

How to download HYCOM
2023-04-13T12:54:15Z
<p>Yjzhang: </p>
<hr />
<div>Please note that PYSCHISM can now download HYCOM and ERA5 etc easily.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==From Dr. Wenfan Wu (May 2022) ==<br />
<br />
A [https://github.com/wenfanwu/get_hycom_online MATLAB function] for downloading the HYCOM data. <br />
<br />
This function enables you to obtain the HYCOM data of a specified region and time moment since 1992. I hope it could help you.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==From Dr. Dan Yu (July 2018)==<br />
<br />
This HYCOM download tool uses “ferret” as interface.<br><br />
Please visit [https://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret ferret web site] to see details of the software. Also you'll need nco tool.<br><br />
Version 7.1 of ferret/pyferret or higher are tested. <br><br />
ferret/pyferret also can be installed by python conda tool. <br><br />
<br />
conda create -n FERRET -c conda-forge pyferret --yes <br><br />
source activate FERRET <br><br />
<br />
You can download our tool [http://ccrm.vims.edu/yinglong/wiki_files/hycom_dl.tgz here]. <br><br />
<br />
Once you download and untar, there’re 2 directories (9x.x_exp & 19.x_exp) that correspond to 2 different HYCOM experiment datasets; check HYCOM web site for further details about the description of the datasets.<br />
<br />
Main script is listdate.sh in each dir, edit options as you need.<br />
For example: <br />
*exp="91.1" HYCOM experiment<br />
*lon_s="120" start longitude (-180 ~ 180) <br><br />
*lon_e="125" end longitude (-180 ~ 180) <br><br />
*lat_s="20" start latitude (-90 ~ 90) <br><br />
*lat_e="25" end latitude (-90 ~ 90) <br><br />
<br />
For 19.x_exp, 1 extra var “yr” has to be defined.<br />
*yr="2012"<br />
<br />
There’re 3 optional vars you can specify, if you have large domain (and want to subsample) or encounter memory problem with ferret.<br />
*lon_i: longitudinal interval, default is 0.08, use larger if needed<br />
*lat_i: latitudinal interval , default is 0.08, use larger if needed<br />
*mem: ferret memory cache, default is 300 (MegaWords), use larger if needed<br />
<br />
Once you finish, execute listdate.sh, and it will generate listHYCOM.jnl for whole record list of experiment. <br><br />
Edit time range in listHYCOM.jnl if you wish. <br><br />
Then execute dlHYCOM.sh, and all your nc files will be in “output/”.<br />
<br />
If any error occurs, such as TMAP error or disconnection, <br><br />
please check ncfile (including size) in output directory first, <br><br />
and '''DELETE''' the lines in listHYCOM.jnl corresponding to those that have already been successfully downloaded, <br><br />
and then type: dlHYCOM.sh again! <br><br />
<br />
The download script is designed to get all variables into 3 files (SSH_*.nc, ST_*.nc, UV_*.nc) for SCHISM. <br><br />
Once you gather all you need, simply use nco command to cat your ncfiles. <br><br />
For example: ncrcat SSH_*.nc SSH_final.nc <br><br />
Then you can use "gen_hot_3Dth_from_hycom.f90" to generate your initial & open boundary conditions for SCHISM.<br><br />
<br />
Instead of downloading the whole records, the script is designed to download each record at a time to avoid too many requests to HYCOM server.<br><br />
Also using OPeNDAP protocol to only request the region you need.<br><br />
HYCOM server will reject too large a request!<br><br />
Both minimize the load of HYCOM server, and makes downloading long record possible.<br><br />
The only drawback is you will need extra disk storage to concatenate all netcdf files.<br><br />
<br />
Enjoy!</div>

<div>==NOAA's Inland-coastal flooding forecast system: STOFS-3D==<br />
NOAA's Office of Coast Survey and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science developed this modeling system starting from basic science concepts all the way to a pre-operational capacity producing once a day forecasts. The next steps will be to transition this modeling guidance system to full operational capacity in Coast Survey to further support disaster mitigation, coastal resilience, and navigation. This effort is supported through the NOAA Water Initiative (NWI) and the NOAA National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP).<br />

A multi-scale Regional Ocean Current Forecast OpeRational System (ROCFORS) is developed at Central Weather Bureau (CWB), Taiwan, since 2008. This system has coupled 4 different model domains, i.e. from the Pacific to the seas around Taiwan. The modeling system has been constructed based on ROMS and SCHISM and implemented for daily operation. Initial field is derived and analyzed from HYCOM and RTOFS daily forecast. Models are driven by meteorological predictions from NCEP GFS and WRF developed at CWB. Daily operational products are presented on CWB website. A cross-scale system based solely on SCHISM will be implemented in the future to replace the existing multi-level nested system.<br />

We built up an-unstructured modelling system (SCHISM-WWM) for master students’ research projects to study potential tidal and wave energy around Australia. The research aim is to obtain high level of accuracy in predicting tidal and wave energy in this region as previous studies have not been achieved. Our configurations can be tightly coupled between circulation and wave models in both 2D and 3D modes. Therefore, this modelling system can be extended for coastal erosion, inundation, storm surge, biological studies. For further information, please contact us.<br />

'''Project description'''<br/><br />
In February 2010, the storm Xynthia hit the central part of the Bay of Biscay severely. The storm surge locally exceeded 1.5m (Bertin et al., 2011) and peaked at the same time as a high spring tide, causing the flooding of large areas of the low-lying coast. Analysis results show the wave processes are important in the storm surge. The 2DH SCHISM with WWM coupled model was applied in the research. And a highly refined flooding multiscale grid was developed to catch the pysical processes of flooding.<br/><br />

<br />
LNEC: André Fortunato, Anabela Oliveira, Xavier Bertin<br/><br />
'''Project description'''<br/><br />
<br />
Tidal inlets are among the most dynamic environments along the world coastlines while social-economic activities are there concentrated. These problems are particularly relevant in Portugal due to its extensive coastline and the existence of many tidal inlets of social, environmental and economic importance. In the perspective of a sustainable development, it is essential to understand and to be able to predict the long-term evolution of these systems. To achieve these goals, one of the most promising avenues is the development of morphodynamic models, which consist of a set of modules to simulate tidal hydrodynamics, wave propagation, sediment transport and bottom evolution. This project aims at contributing to the advance of an existing morphodynamic modeling system (MORSYS2D) that is under development at the host institution (LNEC). <br/><br />

<br />
'''Project description'''<br />
<br />
The Chesapeake Bay and the Coastal Bays of the Maryland/Virginia Atlantic shore are highly valuable and productive ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by degraded water quality and loss of habitat due to both anthropogenic and natural disturbances.<br />
<br />
In an effort to reverse this trend, federal and state governments have implemented a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to control point source and non-point source pollution in each watershed.<br />
<br />
In order to quantify these controls and better understand cause and effect relationships, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is developing numerical hydrodynamic and water quality models and linking them together as a tool for predicting and measuring success of the TMDL effort.<br />
<br />
<br />
Virginia Institute of Marine Science is involved in two TMDL projects in the Chesapeake Bay region:<br />
<br />
<OL><br />
<LI>TMDL scenario development and implementation for the Maryland and Virginia Coastal Bays system.<br />
<LI>Impact on localized water quality resulting from allocation of nutrient loads to dredged material contaminant facilities in Baltimore Harbor.<br />
</OL><br />
<br />
Both projects involve coupling SCHISM and ICM (Integrated Compartment Model). <br />

Aquaculture and other coastal developments in New Zealand have the potential to place increasing pressures on coastal environments. The Cawthron Institute and MetOcean Solutions Limited have been collaborating to produce open-source community models for coastal environments around New Zealand to aid in coastal effects assessments. We are presently utilising and building upon SCHISM community modelling tools associated with Lagrangian and Eularian transport for a range of coastal transport applications (e.g. faecal indicator bacteria, nutrients, oil spills).<br/><br/><br />
We have a number of collaborative projects under-way, but are currently working towards simplifying the set up and analysis of tracers for modelling a range of chemical and biological constituents in aquaculture and coastal discharge assessments.<br/> <br />

A multi-scale Regional Ocean Current Forecast OpeRational System (ROCFORS) is developed at Central Weather Bureau (CWB), Taiwan, since 2008. This system has coupled 4 different model domains, i.e. from the Pacific to the seas around Taiwan. The modeling system has been constructed based on ROMS and SCHISM and implemented for daily operation. Initial field is derived and analyzed from HYCOM and RTOFS daily forecast. Models are driven by meteorological predictions from NCEP GFS and WRF developed at CWB. Daily operational products are presented on CWB website. A cross-scale system based solely on SCHISM will be implemented in the future to replace the existing multi-level nested system.<br />

We built up an-unstructured modelling system (SCHISM-WWM) for master students’ research projects to study potential tidal and wave energy around Australia. The research aim is to obtain high level of accuracy in predicting tidal and wave energy in this region as previous studies have not been achieved. Our configurations can be tightly coupled between circulation and wave models in both 2D and 3D modes. Therefore, this modelling system can be extended for coastal erosion, inundation, storm surge, biological studies. For further information, please contact us.<br />

In February 2010, the storm Xynthia hit the central part of the Bay of Biscay severely. The storm surge locally exceeded 1.5m (Bertin et al., 2011) and peaked at the same time as a high spring tide, causing the flooding of large areas of the low-lying coast. Analysis results show the wave processes are important in the storm surge. The 2DH SCHISM with WWM coupled model was applied in the research. And a highly refined flooding multiscale grid was developed to catch the pysical processes of flooding.<br/><br />

'''Project description'''<br/><br />
<br />
Tidal inlets are among the most dynamic environments along the world coastlines while social-economic activities are there concentrated. These problems are particularly relevant in Portugal due to its extensive coastline and the existence of many tidal inlets of social, environmental and economic importance. In the perspective of a sustainable development, it is essential to understand and to be able to predict the long-term evolution of these systems. To achieve these goals, one of the most promising avenues is the development of morphodynamic models, which consist of a set of modules to simulate tidal hydrodynamics, wave propagation, sediment transport and bottom evolution. This project aims at contributing to the advance of an existing morphodynamic modeling system (MORSYS2D) that is under development at the host institution (LNEC). <br/><br />

<br />
'''Project description'''<br />
<br />
The Chesapeake Bay and the Coastal Bays of the Maryland/Virginia Atlantic shore are highly valuable and productive ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by degraded water quality and loss of habitat due to both anthropogenic and natural disturbances.<br />
<br />
In an effort to reverse this trend, federal and state governments have implemented a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to control point source and non-point source pollution in each watershed.<br />
<br />
In order to quantify these controls and better understand cause and effect relationships, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is developing numerical hydrodynamic and water quality models and linking them together as a tool for predicting and measuring success of the TMDL effort.<br />
<br />
<br />
Virginia Institute of Marine Science is involved in two TMDL projects in the Chesapeake Bay region:<br />
<br />
<OL><br />
<LI>TMDL scenario development and implementation for the Maryland and Virginia Coastal Bays system.<br />
<LI>Impact on localized water quality resulting from allocation of nutrient loads to dredged material contaminant facilities in Baltimore Harbor.<br />
</OL><br />
<br />
Both projects involve coupling SCHISM and ICM (Integrated Compartment Model). <br />

'''Application description'''<br/><br />
Aquaculture and other coastal developments in New Zealand have the potential to place increasing pressures on coastal environments. The Cawthron Institute and MetOcean Solutions Limited have been collaborating to produce open-source community models for coastal environments around New Zealand to aid in coastal effects assessments. We are presently utilising and building upon SCHISM community modelling tools associated with Lagrangian and Eularian transport for a range of coastal transport applications (e.g. faecal indicator bacteria, nutrients, oil spills).<br/><br/><br />
We have a number of collaborative projects under-way, but are currently working towards simplifying the set up and analysis of tracers for modelling a range of chemical and biological constituents in aquaculture and coastal discharge assessments.<br/> <br />

<p></p><br />
<br />
We are looking and resourcing our SCHISM capability in MetOcean/MetService here in New Zealand with probably two hires in the next few months. One of the job adverts has gone out to the Coastal List and is also on our website at [http://www.metocean.co.nz/careers] and [https://careers.metservice.com/view-job/379/coastal-oceanographer-scientist/ ], with the role relatively broader than just SCHISM related, but definitely SCHISM or FE modelling would be useful. This role is really situated in the consultancy team here. <br />
<p></p><br />
<br />
The other role we are expecting to begin advertising for soon is more related to the support and development of the operational capacity we have developed and are looking to expand on with respect to SCHISM – including the coupled wave/current capability and tracers for water quality.<br />

<p></p><br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

<br />
The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />

The Institute of coastal research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht invites applications for a 3-year PostDoc position (m/f) in Ecosystem Modelling.<br />
<br />
Understanding and modeling the response of marine plankton to natural or anthropogenic changes defines a key research challenge. The position is expected to investigate dominant dependencies of plankton food-webs and related biogeochemical cycling on multiple external drivers and how these dependencies are mediated by adaptive processes in plankton populations or communities. The envisaged research will make use of observed anomalies in physical and ecological states and will pinpoint key system dependencies of coastal plankton on stressors by means of numerical experiments. The PostDoc will run 3D simulations of the coastal oceans using a modular data and model system (MOSSCO/GCOAST) including a trait-based plankton model and a hydrodynamic model with an unstructured grid (SCHISM). The study aims at generating insights on the response of coastal-marine ecosystems to major anthropogenic stressors such as changes in eutrophication or construction of offshore windfarms.<br />
<br />
Applicants with a degree in environmental or related sciences and a more specific background in modelling, oceanography, and ecology or biogeochemistry are encouraged to apply. The candidate should demonstrate programming experience (e.g., Fortran at Linux/Unix) and strong writing skills.<br />

From Dr. Brett Beamsley, MetOcean Solutions, New Zealand<br />
<p></p><br />
<br />
We are looking and resourcing our SCHISM capability in MetOcean/MetService here in New Zealand with probably two hires in the next few months. One of the job adverts has gone out to the Coastal List and is also on our website at [http://www.metocean.co.nz/careers] and [https://careers.metservice.com/view-job/379/coastal-oceanographer-scientist/ ], with the role relatively broader than just SCHISM related, but definitely SCHISM or FE modelling would be useful. This role is really situated in the consultancy team here. <br />
<p></p><br />
<br />
The other role we are expecting to begin advertising for soon is more related to the support and development of the operational capacity we have developed and are looking to expand on with respect to SCHISM – including the coupled wave/current capability and tracers for water quality.<br />

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Institute of Coastal Research invites applications for 3 PhD positions and 2 Postdoc positions (3 and 5 years) in the framework of the <br />
DFG Cluster of Excellence ´CliCCS-Climate, Climate Change and Society´.<br />
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is partner in CliCCS, an ambitious research program at the University of Hamburg, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and part of Germany’s Excellence Strategy. CliCCS aims to understand climate changes, taking into account internal variability, extreme events, and unexpected side effects, addressing the natural and social spheres as well as their interactions. CliCCS’ overarching research question is: Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible? The programme will investigate how climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. It will identify those climate futures that are consistent with both climate and social dynamics (possible), and those we expect to unfold with appreciable probability (plausible). <br />
