The ICES Challenge …
To model the Earth System as a whole - an Holistic Approach
• Multiscience (physical, chemical, geo, bio, socio-economic)• Multiscale (spectrally, spatially & temporally)• Unitary & seamless
… to integrate, connect & couple what we already know!

From Natural Sciences to Socioeconomic Sciences
Weather Food
Climate Water
Environment Health
Solar, Planetary Education
Cosmology Energy, Transport
… a 10-year path to understanding the planet Earth while generating a unitary knowledge system that leads to safer policies and better governance – a ‘CERN for the Climate’!
