Market-mediated environmental impacts of biofuels

31 Jul 2014 | Publications | Contributor(s): Tom Hertel, Wallace E. Tyner

This paper surveys the evidence on market-mediated environmental impacts of biofuels, with special attention to the indirect greenhouse gas emissions stemming from land cover change in the wake of increased demand for biofuel feedstocks. We find clear evidence that market mediated land use...

Metadata for Climate Research Unit Time Series (CRU TS) 2.1

16 May 2012 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Lan Zhao

The CRU TS 2.1 data-set comprises 1224 monthly grids of observed climate, for the period 1901-2002, and covering the global land surface at 0.5 degree resolution. There are nine climate variables available: daily mean, minimum and maximum temperature, diurnal temperature range, precipitation, wet...

Metadata for Harvested Area and Yields of 175 crops (M3-Crops Data)

15 May 2012 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Jake R Carlson

This data collection is composed of land use data sets, generated by combining national, state, and county level census statistics along with a global data set of croplands from countries around the world for the year 2000. The resulting land use data sets depict circa the year 2000 the...

Metadata for Historical Averages of Precipitation and Temperature Data

15 May 2012 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Jake R Carlson

This dataset is composed of plots of historical time series of average precipitation (measured in inches) and temperature (measured in fahrenheit degrees) data with five year tendencies for each climate division (CD) within Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Data are...

Metadata for Indiana Hourly Precipitation Data (NCDC)

15 May 2012 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Jake R Carlson

This dataset contains hourly precipitation data from 144 COOP raingagues located in Indiana (NCDC TD3240 dataset). The main purpose of this dataset is to provide for at-site rainfall frequency analysis. Several data processing manners were taken:(1) For nearby stations with non-overlapping...

Metadata for Indiana Stream Flow Data

15 May 2012 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Jake R Carlson

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) daily streamflow dataset is the source of this dataset. Streamflow data are subjected to human interference, and therefore data contain both natural and regulated flows. This practice does not cause serious problems in flood frequency analysis (flows are...

New science of climate change impacts on agriculture implies higher social cost of carbon

22 Nov 2017 | Publications | Contributor(s): Frances C. Moore, Uris Lantz C Baldos, Tom Hertel, Delavane Diaz

Despite substantial advances in climate change impact research in recent years, the scientific basis for damage functions in economic models used to calculate the social cost of carbon (SCC) is either undocumented, difficult to trace, or based on a small number of dated studies. Here we present...

POL 520/EAS 591 Great issues: climate and policy

14 Nov 2010 | Courses

The course POL 520/EAS 591, “Great issues: climate and policy”, is designed to better educate students in the use and misuse of modeling across disciplines, so that they will be better builders and consumers of integrated, complex models of coupled human/natural systems in their own careers. More...

Predicting Long Term Food Demand, Cropland Use and Prices

08 Sep 2017 | Publications | Contributor(s): Tom Hertel, Uris Lantz C Baldos, Dominique van der Mensbrugghe

This paper seeks to survey, understand and reconcile the widely divergent estimates of long run global crop output, land use and price projections in the current literature. We begin by reviewing the history of such projections and the different models and assumptions used in these exercises. We...

Presentation: GeoEDF: A Framework for Designing and Executing Reproducible Geospatial Research Workflows in Science Gateways

08 Jul 2022 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Carol Song

Central to most geospatial research workflows are a series of data wrangling steps that need to be completed before the necessary data for a particular simulation model is available.  For instance, a hydrologist developing a new streamflow prediction model may need to acquire...
