Research models, tools, and data
Global Agro-ecological Zones (GAEZ)
Detailed assessment of available resources to support policymakers developing national, regional, and global strategies for the sustainable production of food More
Harmonized World Soil Database (HWSD v 1.21)
HWSD is a global soil database framed within a Geographic Information System (GIS) and contains up-to-date information on world soil resources. More
The LANDFLOW Model
A model that traces land and water use embodied in production, trade and consumption of agricultural commodities. More
Global Hydro-economic Model (ECHO)
A new tool to inform the design of cost-effective and sustainable water policy decisions. More
Community Water Model (CWatM)
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
CHINAGRO-II
A general equilibrium model to assess China’s agricultural prospects and challenges up to 2030, covering national, regional and county level. More
Stochastic Quasigradient (SQG) methods: Applications
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.

Water Quality Modeling
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
