EdGCM (Educational Global Climate Modeling)

The EdGCM Project develops and distributes a research-quality Global Climate Model (GCM) with a user-friendly interface that runs on desktop computers. Students and educators can explore the subject of climate change using the same methods and tools that scientists employ. The design of the software allows students to learn and experience the full scientific process including: designing experiments, setting up and running computer simulations, post-processing output, using scientific visualization to display results, and creating scientific reports ready for publishing to the web. The project lead for EdGCM is a researcher at NASA/Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
