An understanding of the astonishing and, as yet, unexplained natural variability of past climate is an essential pre-requisite to increase confidence in predictions of long-term future climate change. GENIE is a new Grid-enabled modelling framework that can compose an extensive range of Earth System Models (ESMs) for simulation over multi-millennial timescales, to study ice age cycles and long-term human induced global change. Grid technology is a key enabler for the flexible coupling of constituent models, subsequent execution of the resulting ESMs and the management of the data that they generate.
