NEXT: Next Generation Earth System Models
![]() |
Speakers: Stefan Rahmstorf & Georg Feulner CLIMBER-4 contact: Andrey Ganopolski LPJmL contact: Kirsten Thonicke |
Aim
The goal of NEXT is the development of the next generation Earth System Model. In particular, this involves development of the intermediate-complexity Earth-system model CLIMBER to its version 4. We also maintain and develop the dynamic land biosphere model LPJmL (in cooperation with Research Domain 2), and we will integrate it into CLIMBER-4.
Projects and cooperations
We are part of GREENCYCLES-II, a Marie Curie Initial Training Network to advance the understanding of the impacts of climate-biosphere feedbacks on the evolution of the Earth system over the coming decades
