Analysis, Integration and Modeling of the Earth System - AIMES

There is a growing recognition within the research community that global change must be studied in a holistic and integrated manner. Together, models and observations can help us to understand the natural Earth System dynamics on which current anthropogenic perturbations are superimposed, and the complex feedback processes in the Earth System related to environmental change. The overall challenge for AIMES is to achieve a deeper and more quantitative understanding of the role of human perturbations to global biogeochemical cycles and their role in altering the coupled climate system.
