Wildfires are a growing threat to the boreal north, especially under the rapidly changing climate. IIASA researchers modeled and analyzed how climate change may impact future burned area in boreal forests and highlighted the importance of mitigation and adaptation strategies to reduce climate-fueled impacts on wildfires.

The way we do science has come a long way—from having only experts work on scientific projects, to where many projects now also include members of the public as participants. This change is thanks to citizen science, which creates opportunities for science to be taken to the next level.

This virtual summer school guides the application of the water resources and hydrological model CWatM (Community Water Model). Participants will run CWatM for a large basin, describe its water cycle, compare with satellite imagery, and calibrate the model. Successful assignments award a CWatM Level A1 certification.
IIASA is offering half-day workshops for individual school classes on a topic in systems thinking. Each workshop is focusing on a specific topic in systems thinking, with well-defined learning objectives and will have interactive activities based on real situations and the challenge of solving specific tasks during the practical part of the sessions.
At IIASA we believe that thinking in systems is a skill that is essential for dealing with today’s and tomorrow’s complex challenges. We also believe that future leaders need to acquire systems thinking skills as early as possible. Therefore, we not only train graduate and postgraduate students, PhD candidates, postdocs, and professionals but also bring systems thinking to the kids and teenagers at schools to develop relevant skills at a point where young people start to think fundamentally about the complexity of the natural and social world they live in.
