Participants of the Berlin Summit on Earth Virtualization Engines (EVEs) discussed ideas and concepts to improve our ability to cope with climate change. EVEs aim to provide interactive and accessible climate simulations and data for a wide range of users. They combine high-resolution physics-based models with machine learning techniques to improve the fidelity, efficiency, and interpretability of climate projections. At its core, EVEs offer a federated data layer that enables simple and fast access to exabyte-sized climate data through simple interfaces. In this article, we summarize the technical challenges and opportunities for developing EVEs, and argue that they are essential for addressing the consequences of climate change.

The Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration on Earth System Modeling Tools is a small community comprising members with diverse backgrounds, skills, and interests. Largely dependent on temporary staff to develop, operate, and maintain large scientific codes, this community devised strategies to enhance software reusability and sustainability. These strategies include collaborating with other communities for support, adopting Open Science as well as findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable principles to optimize resource usage, growing essential knowledge within the community, and setting up a community of practice to facilitate onboarding and offboarding. The strategies also promote inclusiveness, foster external collaboration, and recognize technical contributions.

Realistically rough stochastic realizations of subglacial bed topography are crucial for improving our understanding of basal processes and quantifying uncertainty in sea-level rise projections with respect to topographic uncertainty. This can be achieved with Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS), which is used to generate multiple non-unique realizations of geological phenomena that sample the uncertainty space. However, SGS is very CPU intensive with a computational complexity of O( Nk 3 ), where N is the number of grid cells to simulate, and k is the number of neighboring points used for conditioning. This complexity makes SGS prohibitively time-consuming to implement at ice-sheet scales or fine resolutions. To reduce the time-cost, we implement and test a multiprocess version of SGS using Python’s multiprocessing module. By parallelizing the calculation of the weight parameters used in SGS, we achieve a speedup of 9.5 running on 16 processors for an N of 128,097. This speedup, as well as the speedup from using multiple processors, increases with N . This speed improvement makes SGS viable for large-scale topography mapping and ensemble ice-sheet modeling. Additionally, we have made our code repository and user tutorials publicly available (GitHub, Zenodo that others can use our multiprocess implementation of SGS on different datasets.

Described in this article is the first application of two mixed finite-element methods to the equations of glacier evolution under different simplifying assumptions, along with a framework for the implicit solution of the coupled velocity-thickness equations. The first method uses Raviart–Thomas elements for velocity and piecewise constants for thickness and is a reframing of a classic staggered-grid finite-difference method to the case of unstructured triangular meshes. The second method uses Mardal–Tai–Winther elements for velocity and exhibits several desirable properties: second-order convergence of velocity and near-exact mass conservation while resolving both membrane and shear stresses in steep topography with thin ice.
