Research Areas

Our work spans four problem areas. These differ in scale and in the systems involved, but share a common question: which of the many uncertainties involved are relevant for the decisions at hand?

Climate Uncertainties & Risks

Future climate risks are challenging to quantify due to their dependence on uncertain greenhouse gas emissions and Earth-system dynamics. These uncertainties interact, and…

Climate and Power Systems

The relationship between the electric power system and environmental change is becoming more complex as energy systems continue to decarbonize and the broader economy is…

Drivers of Flood Risk in Coupled Natural-Built-Human Systems

One near-to-medium-term effect of climate change is an increase in flooding hazard due to sea-level rise and changes in storm and precipitation patterns. Managing flooding…

Valuing Emissions and Mitigation Choices

Estimating the damages associated with a unit of emissions requires a chain of modeling choices, including atmospheric chemistry, damage functions, discount rates, and how…
