Modelling Global Change
Integrated assessment modelling is an active and rapidly developing field, triggered by the debate on climate change and the move towards the goal of sustainable development. This book provides an integrated approach to modelling, using a transdisciplinary approach. The author summarizes the main issues involved in the changing global system, and gives an overview of the emerging field of integrated assessment. He then presents a general discussion of the methodological principles of a multidisciplinary integrated modelling approach. Existing tools are examined and new methodological approaches are applied to various aspects of the problem of global change. The case studies focus on optimizing climate change mitigating policies, the allocation of emission rights and the the adaptive behaviour of social and biological agents. Special attention is given to the role of uncertainty, especially the subjective interpretation of uncertainties (world views), and the role of adaptive multi-agent modelling. The book concludes with a discussion on future uses of integrated assessment modelling in the global environment. Modelling Global Changewill be vital to economists and scientists who have an interest in integrated assessment modelling, global modelling and decision support, environmental and ecological economists and those interested in sustainable development.

A step by step guide to modelling Global Warming. Essential, if your are studying, creating, teaching or using a model like that used in the Global Warming Handbook. With access to a downloadable spreadsheet model with chart display.
Simply Modelling Global Warming Second Edition
Way ahead of the field in calculating increases in global water vapour and projecting a dramatic increase in the future - Only in 2023 do news broadcasts begin to link this to floods and storm intensity. Also, ahead of the field in highlighting and calculating the effect of ocean feedback. A step-by-step guide to modelling Global Warming. Essential if you are studying, creating, teaching or using a model similar to that used in the Global Warming Handbook. With access to a downloadable spreadsheet model with chart display. It was extensively reviewed after the issue of the 2021 IPCC Science update (AR6) and extended to cover the effect of the oceans and formulating Global Energy Imbalance as an ocean feedback process.
