Contract Research Projects
Earth Simulator based projects from "The Project for Sustainable Coexistence of Human, Nature and the Earth"
"The Project for Sustainable Coexistence of Human, Nature and the Earth" is a research initiative of MEXT (the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) that was conducted from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2006. This project conducts scientific analysis to understand phenomena that have a significant societal impact, such as global warming and climatic aberration, while promoting appropriate responses to these challenges. The project utilized research resources such as the Earth Simulator to facilitate efficient research and development. In fiscal 2006, there were seven separate research projects using the Earth Simulator under research and development at the project.
The outcomes of this project through the use of the Earth Simulator greatly contributed to formulating the IPCC Working Group 1 Fourth Assessment Report.
