Integrated Environmental Modeling
The iemHUB is an online community resource that supports the development, evaluation, and application of environmental models. As a consequence of the interdisciplinary nature of environmental modeling, the iemHUB is designed to facilitate knowledge sharing, discussion and collaboration on models and tools that support multimedia and multidisciplinary analysis. The iemHUB provides a unique environment for model access, simulation, and teaching and learning about environmental modeling.
