Technology Diffusion under Uncertainty
The impact of uncertainty on the adoption of new technologies was studied in the framework of the EUFP7 project, PROSUITE, and the collaboration project with Norway, PURELEC. More
Negative Emissions Technologies
The ECONOMICS group focused on a complementary analysis of the impact of uncertainty, for example, the size of the carbon sink or biomass potential, on the optimal composition of a mitigation portfolio. More
Global Impact Assessment based on the new climate and socioeconomic scenarios (RCPs and SSPs)
ESM is participating in ISI-MIP, a community-driven modelling effort that aims to provide cross-sectoral global impact assessments, based on the newly developed RCPs and SSPs More
Methodologies for the Development of Baselines and Adaptation Measures
ESM's operational model cluster was used for development of baselines and adaptation measures in high mountain ecosystems More
Improving Forest Fire Modeling in Europe
ESM and its partners have developed a fire model to analyze relationships between burned area, climate, and above-ground biomass in forest fires More
