Earth System Modeling

With funding from US Department of Energy (DoE), we are studying the complex earth system under past and future changes.  The fully coupled global atmosphere-ocean-ice-land model is from the DoE’s MPAS framework (Model for Prediction Across Scales).  We are developing the nearshore component of the MPAS-Ocean in order to bridge gaps between global ocean and estuaries and rivers.
