VOLANTE will provide an interdisciplinary scientific basis to inform land use and natural resource management policies and decision-making.
The overarching aims of the project are to design new methodologies and integrated models to analyse human-environment interactions, feedbacks in land use systems, hotspots of land use transitions and identify critical thresholds in land system dynamics.
Coupling of MagPIE and REMIND, analysis of bioenergy, PIK is co-leader of Module A (assessment of tools to evaluate land use change across scales), coordinates WP A-3 (Integrated top-down assessment) and contributes to WP A-1, A-4, V-1 and V-3.
