MoreThanks to a system built for the EPA by Purdue University,
the agency's digital knowledge-sharing Web tool is now online.
The Integrated Environmental Modeling Hub (iemHUB) allows environmental researchers to analyze environmental problems and combine environmental models so that a better understanding of the environment can be developed – everything from keeping beaches clean to predicting climate effects.
"This new on-line collaborative tool will help us increase our understanding of the complex nature of environmental problems. It will advance our ability to predict the impacts of our actions on the environment," said Paul T. Anastas, Ph.D., EPA assistant administrator for the Office of Research and Development. "We've all seen the power of social networking in helping people stay connected, with the launch of this new site, that potential is now available on a professional level to environmental researchers and modelers."
The EPA uses integrated modeling assessments to inform decision making in support of its broad mission of protecting human health and safeguarding the environment. The iemHUB supports the development of integrated models and their use in conducting research and informing the decision making process.
