ESM Models/Tools/Data

The ESM Program has developed a suite of models, tools and databases to aid us in our research efforts. A selection of these are displayed below:

GLOBIOM

A global model to assess competition for land use between agriculture, bioenergy, and forestry More

BeWhere

A model that optimizes the size, location, and technology of bioenergy production plants from the regional to the European level. More

The Global Forest Model (G4M)

Comparing incomes from forestry and alternative land uses More

The Environmental Policy Integrated Model (EPIC)

A model assessing how land management affects the environment More

Geo-Wiki

The Geo-Wiki Project is a global network of volunteers who wish to help improve the quality of different thematic datasets globally.  More

Russian Forests & Forestry Database

Comprehensive downloadable data and analysis on the Russian forestry sector More

Global Forest Database

Downloadable global forest map at a half-degree resolution More

WFS

A tool to rationalize the world's food system More

GAEZ

Comprehensive information for rational land use planning and decision making for food security and agricultural development More

Harmonized World Soil Database

First released in July 2008, HWSD is a global database, framed within a Geographic Information System (GIS), that contains up-to-date information on world soil resources. More

LANDFLOW

A model that traces land embodied in trade and consumption More

Land Resources of Russia

Digital georeferenced databases on land resource issues in Russia More

Decentralized Water Pricing and Water Pollution Taxation Model in the Presence of Uncertainties, Incomplete and Asymmetric Information (WAP)

The decentralized water pricing methodology addresses main challenges of sharing a common resource – water - among the competing users in an efficient and fair way and a problem of preserving the water quality. More

Agricultural Production Planning and Allocation (APPA) Model

The APPA model is a geographically detailed stochastic and dynamic model for spatio-temporal planning of agricultural activities to meet food security goals under natural and anthropogenic risks, resource constraints, and social targets. The model illustrates that explicit treatment of risks and uncertainties in agricultural production planning may considerably alter strategies for achieving robust outcomes with regard to sustainable agricultural development. More

Integrated Emission Trading and Abatement (ETA) Model

  ETA model is an integrated stochastic emissions trading and abatement model allowing to analyze the robustness of emissions reduction policies under asymmetric information about emission trading parties, uncertainties of emissions and other inherent anthropogenic and natural uncertainties.  More

Integrated Catastrophe Risk Management (CRIM) Model

The Integrated Catastrophe Risk Management model (CRIM) has been developed at IIASA aiming to assist in robust decision making for managing natural disasters risks e.g., earthquakes, hurricanes, floods More

Hybrid Land Cover of Russia

A system integration of ground and remote sensing data that parametrizes Russian territory at a 1km spatial resolution for forests and includes tree species, age, and biomass distribution.  More
