IMI 2.3.0 - expected early 2026

Feature Developer(s)
Add optimization of soil absorption Dandan Zhang (Harvard)
Use GEOS-Chem carbon simulation instead of the CH4 simulation
  • Single species or joint carbon (CO2, CO, CH4, OCS) simulations
  • Step toward expanding the IMI into the Integrated Carbon Inversion (ICI)
Melissa Sulprizio (Harvard)
Enable GEOS-Chem High Performance (GCHP) in the IMI
  • Includes stretched-grid capability
