This pilot project has initiated a long-term integrated modeling project that aims to develop a dynamically linked model framework focused on climate driven changes to vegetation, disturbance, hydrology, and permafrost, and their interactions and feedbacks. This pilot phase has developed a conceptual framework for linking current state-of-thescience models of ecosystem processes in Alaska – ALFRESCO, TEM, GIPL-1 – and the primary processes of vegetation, disturbance, hydrology, and permafrost that they simulate. A framework that dynamically links these models has been defined and primary input datasets required by the models have been developed.
