Developing an open source energy model

Developing an open source energy model

by nina | May 14, 2018 | Asia, Energy, Part of RANDOM POSTS - Yes

The IIASA Energy Program (ENE) has developed a new generation of its modeling platform MESSAGEix, which is now available under an open source license. The model is used for research applications, as well as for capacity building in IIASA member countries and teaching...
Ensuring a decent standard of living for all

Ensuring a decent standard of living for all

by nina | May 14, 2018 | Building a sustainable future, Energy, Part of RANDOM POSTS - Yes

How much energy growth and what climate impacts are associated with meeting basic human needs? Bottom-up modeling of energy demand requirements in three countries–Brazil, India, and South Africa–shows that current energy supply could provide decent living standards if...
Identifying development and climate vulnerability hotspots

Identifying development and climate vulnerability hotspots

by nina | Apr 23, 2018 | Global, ISWEL, Part of RANDOM POSTS - Yes

Understanding the interplay between multiple climate change risks and socioeconomic development is increasingly required to inform policies to manage these risks in pursuit of the sustainable development agenda. To this end, IIASA researchers working on the Integrated...
Improving the resilience of systems

Improving the resilience of systems

by nina | Apr 18, 2018 | Global, Part of RANDOM POSTS - Yes, Systemic Risk and Network Dynamics

Systemic risk describes the likelihood of cascading failures in networks. Such risks arise in a broad range of different systems, such as power grids, ecosystems, supply chains, financial networks, disease dynamics, and transportation networks. The Systemic Risk and...
Understanding armed conflicts

Understanding armed conflicts

by nina | Apr 17, 2018 | Evolution and ecology, Leadership in ASA, Part of RANDOM POSTS - Yes

Armed conflicts remain widespread around the globe, yet their dynamics are poorly understood. The recent introduction and analysis of a simple model enables basic insights into how military characteristics and recruitment policies affect the dynamics of these...
Shedding light on vegetation dynamics

Shedding light on vegetation dynamics

by nina | Apr 17, 2018 | Evolution and ecology, Part of RANDOM POSTS - Yes

Plants are of central importance to terrestrial ecosystems and play a key role in the global carbon cycle. In 2017, the IIASA Evolution and Ecology Program showed how the inclusion of evolutionary and eco-physiological principles enables improved vegetation models....
