The Institute for Computational Earth System Science (ICESS) works to address issues regarding global and regional climate changes by providing data and scientific interpretation through computer science. ICESS hopes to help governmental decision makers use observation and modeling information provided by long-term environmental research. Projects include: climatic modeling for weather prediction, hydrologic groundwater models, oceanic circulation models, conservation planning, and habitat management. ICESS also works with the development of new smart satellite technology that allows remote sensing devices to be customized for observation of a specific target. A new project of this organization is to facilitate interaction between researchers and educators to advance the presence of Earth science topics in school curricula. Some current intensive ICESS study projects include topics such as wetlands, earth systems, rivers, oceanography, Antarctic studies, snow hydrology. Within this site users can also access education opportunities for either summer or graduate level work in marine science.
