Numerical models of the atmosphere, ocean, and land surface and solid earth mechanics

ESP activities are mostly based on the use of numerical models of the atmosphere, ocean, and land surface and solid earth mechanics.  The models range from global circulation models, through regional climate models to models for the earth's interior and model for end-user climate change applications.
