Ecosystem Modeling and Data Consortium
A Consortium at Colorado State University advancing world-class ecosystem models and critical land management datasets through cross-sector collaborations
Get StartedA Community and Tools for Advancing Ecosystem Science
Our integrated platform combines powerful modeling capabilities with supportive data access, designed specifically for scientists and agri-business professionals.
Consortium Tools
Biogeochemical process-based models and peer-reviewed datasets
The consortium offers state-of-the-art ecosystem models and high-quality datasets that can support model calibration and validation. Our cloud-based infrastructure eliminates the complexity of local installations while providing the computational power needed for large-scale simulations. We offer access to:
Access Options for Everyone
