In the 1990s, the new generation IMAGE 2, was developed with regional drivers of global change and gridded, process-oriented modelling of the terrestrial biosphere, land cover and land use ([[Alcamo, 1994]]). IMAGE 2.0 comprised three subsystems:  
In the 1990s, the new generation IMAGE 2, was developed with regional drivers of global change and gridded, process-oriented modelling of the terrestrial biosphere, land cover and land use ([[Alcamo, 1994]]). IMAGE 2.0 comprised three subsystems:  
13-region Energy-Industry System (EIS);  
* 13-region Energy-Industry System (EIS);  
Terrestrial Environment System (TES) operating at 0.5x0.5 degrees grid-scale;
* Terrestrial Environment System (TES) operating at 0.5x0.5 degrees grid-scale;
Atmosphere-Ocean System (AOS) to compute the resulting changes in the composition of the atmosphere leading to climate change.  
* Atmosphere-Ocean System (AOS) to compute the resulting changes in the composition of the atmosphere leading to climate change.  


Further refinements and extensions were implemented in IMAGE 2.1 ([[Alcamo et al., 1998]]) to enhance model performance and broaden its applicability to issues other than climate change.
