Assessing management impacts on the BioGeoChemistry of ecosystems

The IIASA/ESM based BGC-MAN model was calibrated and validated with TrEco data for the dominant ecosystems and land use forms of the Congo basin, including virgin forests, managed forests, forest fallows after shifting cultivation and savannahs.

A tool to assess temporal verification of net greenhouse gas emission changes under the Kyoto Protocol.

A dataset to understand near-term emissions mitigation and adaptation efforts

Geo-Wiki provides anyone with the means to engage in monitoring of the earth's surface by classifying satellite, drone or ground-level imagery. Data can be input via desktop or mobile devices, with campaigns and games used to incentivize input. These innovative techniques have been used to successfully integrate citizen-derived data sources with expert and authoritative data to address pressing policy-related questions (e.g. European environmental policy, SDG indicators and more).

A modeling approach to improve financial disaster risk management

A model for studying the ecology and evolution of plant communities

A tool for exploratory statistical analysis on land use data.

A software tool to to aggregate several probability distributions into a single integrated one.

This Scenario Explorer presents an ensemble of quantitative, model-based climate change mitigation pathways underpinning the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (SR15) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published in 2018. The ensemble was also used and extended in the IPCC's Special Report on Climate Change and Land (SRCCL, 2019). 

The CD-LINKS consortium has developed a set of consistent national and global low-carbon development pathways that take current national policies and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) as an entry point for short-term climate action and then transition to long-term goals of 1.5 and 2°C as defined by the Paris Agreement. 

The IPCC AR5 Scenarios Database documents the long-term scenarios as reviewed in the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

SHELscape is a spatially-explicit agent-based model for understanding short-run post-natural disasters non-linear adjustment processes in a multi-market framework.

The GROW Citizen Observatory was developed in a Horizon 2020 funded project to engage citizens (interested in growing food and improving the health of their soils) in sharing their data with a large community of growers across Europe.

Geo-Wiki is an online application for the visualization and crowdsourcing of land cover and land use data, where the first data collection campaigns ran during 2011 and 2012.

Data on agricultural field size has been collected via Geo-Wiki campaigns, where this type of data can provide some indication of agricultural practices, and it helps us to determine what types of satellite data are needed for agricultural monitoring in different parts of the world.

A Geo-Wiki campaign on capturing data on cropland extent took place in September 2016, collecting data at 36,000 unique locations around the world

Data collection using mobile technology has facilitated the collection of in situ or ground-based data on land use/land cover including geo-tagged photographs that document the landscape.

Several data collection activities related to forest cover, forest biomass and forest management have been coordinated by IIASA’s NoDES group in the past

Crop Observe App is an application for collecting crop type, phenological stage, visible damage and management practices.
