  3. Case Study: Climate Policy Modelling • CIAS team at Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of East Anglia • Develop linked climate and economic models for detailed analysis • Their software was not ready to be used by other groups • One researcher/developer at UEA, several users • SSI’s work means the software is robust enough that it can be installed and used by others • Enabled use of the software by the WWFN’sClimascope project and James Cook University • Documented software to allow extensions by contributors • Made it easier to maintain and backup • Added job scheduling to improve modeling throughput • New modelling framework enables new models i.e. new science • http://www.tyndall.ac.uk/research/cias
