The Inventory of Conflict and Environment (ICE) is a project initiated by Jim Lee, School of International Service (SIS) at American University in Washington, D.C.[1] He has also written extensively on environment and conflict, including the book "Hot and Cold Wars".
[4] ICE establishes a perspective in which disaggregated data is combined with geographic information in the study of conflicts.
Among the practical uses of such case studies, ICE provides information on environmental refugees, conflict dimensions, countries involved and related issues.
Conflict and environment are modern and age-old problems and the cases represent this continuum of impact.
The "inferential" ICE search engine offers a pattern matching system and an additional weighting component for the researcher's evaluation and analysis.
