Image 2.0: integrated modeling of global climate change

Only a few laboratories in the world have taken the bold step to attempt the integration of sub-models of the climate system, the global biogeochemical cycles and the human/societal components.

This volume reports such a major undertaking and it is an important step towards an integrated approach to global change science.

The IMAGE 2 model is important in demonstrating our current ability to model the complex global system.
