We are an alliance of scientists, engineers, and applied mathematicians building a new generation of Earth system models (ESMs). Our mission is to pioneer a new, data-informed and physics-based approach to climate modeling.
We are developing a model that:
- Learns from the wealth of Earth observations from space and from the ground.
- Runs efficiently on modern computing architectures with GPUs.
- Delivers actionable predictions, from sub-seasonal to decadal scales, to inform critical decisions in agriculture, infrastructure, and resource planning.
Our goal is to deliver the most accurate, usable, and scalable climate model in the world.
CliMA is an open-source project, and we welcome contributions from the community! Whether you're a scientist, developer, or student, there are many ways to get involved.
