MIT Integrated Global System Model (IGSM)

The MIT Integrated Global System Model (IGSM) is a sophisticated computer framework that simulates how different parts of the Earth's climate—including the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and human activities—interact over time. It helps scientists understand how actions like emissions and policy decisions can influence global climate change. By integrating natural processes with human factors, the IGSM provides insights into future climate scenarios, enabling policymakers to evaluate risks and develop strategies to mitigate or adapt to climate impacts effectively.
