Predicting Long Term Food Demand, Cropland Use and Prices

08 Sep 2017 | 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 | 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...

Quantifying the uncertainties in estimating the heterogeneous effects of carbon taxes on labor, land, water, and fertilizer use in US agriculture

17 May 2023 | Contributor(s): Iman Haqiqi

Selected Paper prepared for presentation at the 2023 Agricultural & Applied Economics Association Annual Meeting, Washington DC; July 23-25, 2023 Potential carbon taxes will have spatially heterogeneous impacts on agriculture. The magnitude of impacts depends on 1) the direct and...

The GABBs Report - Building Geospatial Capability in HUBzero

15 Sep 2015 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Carol Song

Geospatial data are present everywhere today with the proliferation of location-aware computing devices. This is especially true in the scientific community where large amounts of data are driving research and education activities in many domains. Collaboration over geospatial data, for example,...

The power and pain of market-based carbon policies: a global application to greenhouse gases from ruminant livestock production

08 Sep 2017 | Publications | Contributor(s): Benjamin Henderson, Alla A Golub, Daniel Djauhari Pambudi, Tom Hertel, Cecile Godde, Mario Herrero, Oscar Cacho, Pierre J. Gerber

The objectives of this research are to assess the greenhouse gas mitigation potential of carbon policies applied to the ruminant livestock sector [inclusive of the major ruminant species—cattle (Bos Taurus and Bos indicus), sheep (Ovis aries), and goats (Capra hircus)]— with...

Using spatially explicit data to improve our understanding of land supply responses: An application to the cropland effects of global sustainable irrigation in the Americas

09 Aug 2018 | Publications | Contributor(s): Nelson Benjamin Villoria, Jing Liu

Land supply elasticities determine the rates of land conversion in global policy models. However, they are only available for few countries in the world. Therefore, analysts seeking to improve the spatial resolution of their models are forced to impose regionally homogeneous parameters...
