Research group:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our group explores alternative energy and climate policy futures, employing computational modeling of the global energy, economy and land-use systems. Key aspects are the interactions between national policies and global outcomes and technology trends, and between short-term policy action and long-term climate, technology and sustainability outcomes. This requires an interdisciplinary approach bringing together insights from physics, engineering, economics, political science and psychology among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are part of a global network of modelers developing and working with the open-source integrated assessment model \u2018GCAM<\/a>\u2019, and participate in various model intercomparison projects. Our research informs policy-relevant assessments such as reports from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP<\/a>) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short bio:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Christoph Bertram is endowed Professor of Global Energy System and Policy Analysis. For the initial years, this position is supported by the University of Maryland’s Center for Global Sustainability through its philanthropic funding. Christoph analyzes climate change mitigation strategies and policies, especially in the energy sector, both globally and in major economies. Specific interests include<\/p>\n\n\n\n
