ICoM: Integrated Coastal Modeling
A multi-institutional effort, we are developing, evaluating, and applying a diverse set of modeling tools to systematically analyze coastal processes, hazards, and responses. Our vision is to deliver a robust predictive understanding of coastal evolution that accounts for the complex, multi-scale interactions among physical, environmental, and human systems. We take an integrated approach that brings together multiple modeling tools to represent both extreme events and long-term changes in human and natural systems.

ICoM is taking an integrated approach that brings together multiple modeling tools to represent both extreme events and long-term changes in human and natural systems. We focus on processes that represent significant uncertainties in the evolution of coastal systems and are aligned with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) mission.
