Our objectives are to develop a Grid-based computing framework which will allow us:

• to flexibly couple together state-of-the-art components to form a unified Earth System Model (ESM),
• to execute the resulting ESM across a computational Grid,
• to share the distributed data produced by simulation runs, and
• to provide high-level open access to the system, creating and supporting virtual organisations of Earth System modellers.

We have now entered the second phase of the project: 'GENIEfy: Creating a Grid-ENabled Integrated Earth system modelling framework for the community'

The project is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NE/C515904) through the e-Science programme
