Current Projects
We currently work on three projects: Detect, Batmodel, and MindStep.
Detect
Detect will provide ex-ante scenarios of land use cover and management at continental scale with sub-national detail for the next decades. To do so, the recursive-dynamic global model CGEBox will be further developed and applied.
Duration: 2022-2025
Staff members: Theresa Goebel, Wolfgang Britz
