The launch version of the Collaboratorium includes simulation models in five primary areas. For some of these areas, results from several models are available.

• Climate model: C-LEARN
  Impact of regional emission reduction and land use targets on:
  • Global emissions
  • Atmospheric concentration of CO2
  • Increase in global mean temperature (GMT)
  • Sea level rise

• Economic costs of climate change mitigation: IGSM, MERGE, and MiniCAM
  Based on response surfaces generated from model runs done to simulate stablization scenarios in the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) study

• Economic costs of climate change damages: DICE and PAGE2002
  Economic costs of climate change damages associated with increases in GMT

• Physical impacts of climate change: Tyndall Center
  Impacts of increases in GMT on Water, Food, Health, Land, Environment, and Abrupt and Large Scale Impacts
