Ecosystem Modeling and Data Consortium
An initiative launched by the Soil Carbon Solutions Center at Colorado State University to advance world-class ecosystem models and critical soil data 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 climate and ecosystem specialists.
Consortium Tools
Biogeochemical process models and peer-reviewed datasets
The consortium offers state-of-the-art ecosystem models, along with accompanying datasets used for calibration and validation. Our cloud-based infrastructure eliminates the complexity of local installations while providing the computational power needed for large-scale simulations. As a consortium member, you can gain access to:
Access Options for Everyone
