successful applicant will join an integrated assessment
modeling (IAM) group that includes both social and natural
scientists working on the climate change issue (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/ccr/iam/">http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/ccr/iam/</a>). The group has an
organizational home within the Climate and Global Dynamics
division (CGD) which carries out research on climate and land
cover change. The IAM group develops and applies new
socio-economic models, and linkages to climate models, that
leverage NCAR’s status as a world-leading climate modeling
center. </p>
