Advance in the development of climate models and associated data viewers and processing tools has achieved unprecedented maturity in the environmental scientific community. This progress was accompanied by the standardization of model output formats (conventions for Climate and Forecast metadata), the availability of open databases (i.e., the Earth System Grid Federation), and of the climate model codes themselves. However, scientific communities are not fully realizing the benefits of such advances because of the complexity for both running and analysing climate models. Using Galaxy makes it possible to share tools and easily (re-)run climate model runs or analyse climate data thus opening new opportunities for multidisciplinary research for instance ecology, social and human sciences. In this presentation, we will show how climate models can be run out-of-the-box, without much effort, using Galaxy platform. We will show how climate model outputs can be visualized using the same web portal.
