MIT IGSM (Massachusetts Institute of Technology Integrated Global System Model)

The MIT Integrated Global System Model (IGSM) is a computer simulation that combines different parts of the Earth's climate system—such as the atmosphere, oceans, land, and human activities—to better understand how they interact. It helps scientists explore how factors like greenhouse gas emissions influence climate change, assess future scenarios, and evaluate policy options. By integrating these components, the IGSM provides a comprehensive view of how our actions impact the planet's environment, supporting informed decision-making to address climate challenges effectively.
