Climate-change will affect different parts of the globe in different ways. Globalization will cause impacts in one area to affect populations in other areas. Addressing the diversity of responses and the range of potential conditions requires the use of agent-based modeling techniques. The Evolutionary Computing and Agent-Based Modeling group uses agent models to determine the impact of continuous and abrupt climate change on interacting US and international economies. Agent-based models can simulate finance, employment, migration, infrastructure, inter-industry, ecosystem/agricultural, and conflict dynamics. The agent models, when coupled to Sandia’s high-resolution climate model, can produce emergent behaviors and feedback responses whose risk could not be otherwise addressed. Added uncertainty quantification and validation methods ensure the highest confidence in analysis results. Contact: George Backus (505-284-5787) and Mark Boslough (505-845-8851).
