CESM

  • Chief Scientist - David Lawrence
  • The CESM project is supported primarily by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Administration of the CESM is maintained by the CGD Laboratory at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR).
  • CESM is a fully-coupled, community, global Earth system model that provides state-of-the-art computer simulations of the Earth's past, present, and future states.
