The Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System aims to understand and predict the earth’s climate system across time scales from days to decades, on local to global scales, and with particular focus on extreme weather and problems of relevance to society, including impacts on marine ecosystems, drought and air quality.

The institute will enable Princeton and the laboratory to continue collaborative work begun under the Cooperative Institute for Climate Science, founded with funding from NOAA 15 years ago.
