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.
