The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) will host a
webinar entitled "Funding Effective Interdisciplinary Collaborations:
NGEE as a Case Study" on Tuesday, 14 June 2016 at 1:00-2:00 p.m. EDT.
Speakers will include Daniel Stover and Lydia Smith Vaughn.

The Next Generation Ecosystems Experiments (NGEE-Arctic) is a 10-year
Department of Energy (DOE)-supported project whose mission is to improve
mathematical models that predict climate through advanced understanding
of the physical, chemical, and biological behavior of terrestrial
ecosystems in Alaska. With a multi-disciplinary team of researchers
from a range of institutions, NGEE-Arctic integrates field and
laboratory investigations to inform climate models, ultimately scalable
to the region and to the Arctic. This webinar will first feature an
NGEE-Arctic evaluation of methane emissions across gradients of
permafrost thaw. The project’s program manager will then discuss the
role of this research within the broader DOE priorities, as well as
techniques for individual researchers to connect their ideas to policy
driven funding priorities in order to produce effective
interdisciplinary research coordinated within and among Federal
agencies.

Dr. Stover is a Program Manager for Terrestrial Ecosystem Science
programs in the Climate & Environmental Sciences Division of the
Office of Biological and Environmental Research within the DOE
Office of Science. He manages a portfolio of university and national
laboratory research projects aimed at improving the representation
of terrestrial ecosystems and their processes in predictive Earth
system models, including NGEE-Arctic.

Lydia Smith Vaughn is a Ph.D. candidate in the Energy and Resources
Group at UC Berkeley. Her research explores the intersections of
terrestrial carbon cycling, plant-soil-microbe interactions, and
climate. She is currently a graduate student researcher at Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory, where she studies high latitude carbon
cycling through the NGEE-Arctic project.
