计算可持续性研究所（ICS），在NSF Expeditions in Computing计划的资助下，正在打造一个高度跨学科的努力，以创建和培育计算可持续性的新领域，其宏伟愿景是计算和信息科学可以-而且应该-在提高我们管理和分配自然资源的效率和有效性方面发挥关键作用。多学科、多机构的ICS研究团队位于康奈尔大学，包括俄勒冈州州立大学、鲍登学院、霍华德大学和保护基金（TCF）的领先计算机和环境科学家。这次探险的最终目标是帮助缓解我们地球今天面临的一些关键的环境和可持续性挑战。潜在回报的具体例子是提高自然资源的使用效率，更有效的计算模型来维持（或增加）生物多样性，以及研究可再生能源领域权衡的大规模计算平衡模型。这次考察的目的是将研究和教育结合起来。综合科学中心正在进行的研究继续推进发现和理解，同时促进教学（通过新的课程和研讨会），培训（通过讲习班和推广）和学习（通过现实世界的项目和问题编目）。考虑到直接的社会相关性和环境组成部分，计算可持续性领域对妇女和传统上在计算机科学中代表性不足的其他群体具有独特的吸引力，从而有助于增加他们在计算机科学领域的参与。
Institute for Computational Sustainability (ICS), funded under the NSF Expeditions in Computing program, is forging a highly interdisciplinary effort to create and nurture the new field of Computational Sustainability, with the grand vision that computing and information science can – and should – play a key role in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the way we manage and allocate our natural resources. The multi-disciplinary, multiinstitutional ICS research team is based at Cornell University and includes leading computer and environmental scientists at Oregon State University, Bowdoin College, Howard University, and The Conservation Fund (TCF). The ultimate goal of this Expedition is to help alleviate some of the key environmental and sustainability challenges facing our planet today. Concrete examples of potential payoffs are an increased efficiency in the use of our natural resources, more effective computational models for maintaining (or increasing) biodiversity, and large-scale computational equilibrium models for studying trade-offs in the area of renewable energy. This Expedition has been organized to integrate research and education. The research being conducted by ICS continues to advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching (through new courses and seminars), training (through workshops and outreach), and learning (through real-world projects and problem cataloging). Given the immediate societal relevance and the environmental component, the area of computational sustainability has found a unique appeal to women and other groups that are traditionally underrepresented in computer science, thus helping increase their participation in the field of computer science.
