Project Integrated Human-Earth System Dynamics (IHESD)

The Integrated Human-Earth System Dynamics (IHESD) scientific focus area is improving the integrated understanding of the drivers, responses, and feedbacks in global earth system evolution, with a focus on energy, water, land, climate, and the economy. The research vision is to deliver scientific advances through next-generation, community human-earth modeling and research to address emerging issues at the intersection of energy, water, land, the economy, and the environment at national to global scales. This work is done at resolutions that permit robust scenario exploration and uncertainty characterization.
