	EdGCM: Climate Modeling for Research and Education
		We find that while the combination of reduced solar luminosity, atmospheric CO2 levels, and ocean heat transports does cool the planet significantly, it is still not sufficient to reproduce the first-order characteristics of the Sturtian snowball Earth glaciation.
		EdGCM, and presumably higher-resolution GCMs, are capable of local scale studies when the scientific accuracy of the results does not require a high degree of quantitative precision.
		MTG Climate used EdGCM to recreate the climatic conditions of 21 thousand years ago, when our planet was at the peak of the last Ice Age (i.e.

	Geog 4/521 EdGCM Exercise -- Part A (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The objective of this exercise is to use EdGCM, a version of the NASA GISS (Goddard Institute for Space Studies) "Model II" GCM.

		Climate models like EdGCM have the potential to generate all of the climatic data ever observed (and more) in a single simulation, and much of the effort in the production and interpretation of simulations lies in "post-processing," i.e., reducing the volume of output, and displaying it in an effective fashion.
