Definition
- ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS GROUP Centre for Water and Climate Environmental systems analysis is a quantitative and multidisciplinary research field aimed at combining, interpreting and communicating knowledge from the natural and social sciences and technology. Our mission is to further develop the methodology and scientific tools of systems analysis and to apply these in strategic research topics, which are mainly society-driven. The applications aim at describing and analysing the causes, mechanisms, effects of and potential solutions for specific environmental problems. The fundamental research problem is the improvement of concepts and methods for environmental systems analysis, with a special emphasis on the behaviour of large-scale models, methods for uncertainty analysis, upscaling of scientific findings from small to large scale, participatory and other integrated assessment, and the further development and operationalisation of the concepts of environmental functions and critical nature capital. The research programme is part of the Wageningen Institute for Environment and Climate Research (WIMEK), which is part of the Socio-Economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment (SENSE) Research School.
