Simulating Abrupt Climate Change During the Holocene Proxy Observation (deMenocal et al., 2000, QSR) Collapse of N. Africa Eco-climate system in the mid-Holocene Zhengyu Liu, UW-Madison Bette Otto-Bliesner, NCAR • What are the mechanisms for the collapse of North Africa eco-climate system in the mid-Holocene? • How well does CCSM3 simulate this major abrupt change, and why? FOAM simulation (Liu et al., 2006, QSR) • Capitalizes on TRaCE-21,000 simulation made possible by DOE INCITE computing grant
