The Canadian Global Emissions Interpretation Centre (CGEIC), has been established by Environment Canada jointly with Canadian ORTECH Environmental in order to serve both the national and international scientific and policy-making communities. The primary purpose of CGEIC is to provide emissions inventory input for a variety of modelling activities. Because of the computer intensive nature of the work, CGEIC is located at Canadian ORTECH Environmental, where it has the advantage of advanced computing facilities.
At present CGEIC is working with a number of partners to build the data bases, infrastructure and systems required to manipulate emissions data. Interested parties should contact Trevor Scholtz, Director, at Canadian ORTECH Environmental (905) 822-4120 ext. 524, by fax at (905) 855-0406
