The transfer of mass, energy and momentum through the coupled Sun-Earth system spans a wide range of scales in time and space. While profound advances have been made in modeling isolated regions of the Sun-Earth system, minimal progress has been achieved in modeling the end-to-end system. Currently, end-to-end modeling of the Sun-Earth system is a major goal of the National Space Weather and NASA Living With a Star (LWS) programs. The uncertainty in the underlying physics responsible for coupling contiguous regions of the Sun-Earth system is recognized as a significant barrier to progress. Overarching questions remain such as: what are the primary problems that need to be resolved to enable significant progress in comprehensive modeling of the Sun-Earth system? and which model/technique improvements are required and what new data coverage is needed to enable full model advances? This poster highlights topics germane to modeling the Sun-Earth system and provides a top overview of barriers to making progress in those areas. The result of addressing these issues ultimately attends to fundamental space plasma processes; knowledge of which can be applied to space weather problems at Earth, to life sustaining activities elsewhere, and to understanding and predicting the environments of Earth-like planets and moons. Topics to be addressed include: corotating interaction regions, coronal mass ejections, energetic particles, system preconditioning, extreme events and super storms, and end-to-end modeling efforts. These topics will be addressed at length at the upcoming modeling workshop entitled "Challenges in modeling the Sun-Earth System" to be held in Huntsville, AL, October 18-22, 2004.
