Linking Earth system models

Grid Enabled Integrated Earth System Modelling project (GENIE)

The most sophisticated Earth system models include complex interactions between different components of the Earth system: the oceans, atmosphere, land-surface, ice sheets and life. Scientists use specific computer models to represent each of these components. Researchers working on the GENIE project harnessed the power of distributed computing to develop a new Earth system modelling framework that allows much more flexibility in how these different components interact, making it easier to use different configurations of models.
