Rapid aggregation of global gridded crop model outputs to
facilitate cross-disciplinary analysis of climate change impacts in
agriculture [HUBZero/GEOSHARE
Tool | Documentation] : This tool allows access to
time series of crop yields (1971-2099) generated by
the AgMIP's
Global Gridded Crop Modeling Initiative (Ag-GRID). There are data
for seven crop models (EPIC, GEPIC, pDSSAT, LPJmL, IMAGE-LEITAP,
PEGASUS, LPJ-GUESS), under a number of temperature trajectories from a
suite of five global climate models (HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR,
MIROC-ESM-CHEM, GFDL-ESM2M, NorESM1-M) and four representative
concentration pathways.
Web-based access, aggregation, and visualization of
future climate projections with emphasis on agricultural
assesments
[HUBZero/GEOSHARE
Tool
| Documentation]:This
tool facilitates downloading and aggregating global grids (0.5
degree) of bias-corrected, monthly mean historical and future
temperature and precipitation from the five General Circulation
Models (GCMs: HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, MIROC-ESM-CHEM, GFDL-ESM2M,
and NorESM1-M.) used by the
Inter-Sectoral Impacts Model Intercomparison Project (ISI-MIP).
The tool targets mainly, but not exclusively, researchers interested
on the effects of climate change on agriculture.

My research program has two main thrusts: global land use and
international trade. Currently I'm exploring how future climates
might shape world food markets. I also investigate the
competition between agricultural land and forest resources as
global agriculture faces mounting pressures to satisfy growing
demands for food and biofuels.
