Detailed assessment of available resources to support policymakers developing national, regional, and global strategies for the sustainable production of food More
HWSD is a global soil database framed within a Geographic Information System (GIS) and contains up-to-date information on world soil resources. More
A model that traces land and water use embodied in production, trade and consumption of agricultural commodities. More
A system dynamics model of social, economic, and environmental earth systems and their interdependencies. More
Assessing management impacts on the BioGeoChemistry of ecosystems More
A new tool to inform the design of cost-effective and sustainable water policy decisions. More
An open source model to examine how future water demand will evolve in response to socioeconomic change and how water availability will change in response to climate. More
A general equilibrium model to assess China’s agricultural prospects and challenges up to 2030, covering national, regional and county level. More
This study proposes an approach which permits assessing net emission changes under the Kyoto Protocol, in particular with respect to atmospheric CO2 and CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning, cement manufacture and gas flaring; whereby emission changes are characterized by uncertainty distributions in terms of verification times (VTs). More
Stochastic Quasi-Gradient (SQG) methods have been developed for solving general optimization problems without exact calculation of objective function and constraints (let alone of their derivatives). SQG methods enable a sequential revision of approximate solutions towards the optimal using newly acquired information on the system, obtained via either direct on-line observations or(and) simulations.

The linkage algorithms solve the problem of linking models, e.g. sectorial and/or regional, into an inter-sectorial inter-regional integrated model. Linkage enables to avoid “hard linking” of models in a single code, which saves the programming time and enables parallel distributed computations of individual models instead of a large scale integrated model. Models linkage preserves the structure of the original models taking into account critically important details, which are usually missing in aggregate models More
Water quality modeling for water availability/scarcity assessment, water-energy-land-environment nexus analysis and identification of cost-effective solutions under long-term changes. More
