Permafrost, Lakes, and Climate-Warming Methane Feedback: What is the Worst We Can Expect?
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2012-05)Permafrost degradation is likely enhanced by climate warming. Subsequent landscape subsidence and hydrologic changes support expansion of lakes and wetlands. Their anaerobic environments can act as strong emission sources ... -
Combining a New Vehicle Fuel Economy Standard with a Cap-and-Trade Policy: Energy and Economic Impact in the United States
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2012-05)The United States has adopted fuel economy standards that require increases in the on-road efficiency of new passenger vehicles, with the goal of reducing petroleum use, as well as (more recently) greenhouse gas (GHG) ... -
Applying Engineering and Fleet Detail to Represent Passenger Vehicle Transport in a Computable General Equilibrium Model
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2012-04)A well-known challenge in computable general equilibrium (CGE) models is to maintain correspondence between the forecasted economic and physical quantities over time. Maintaining such a correspondence is necessary to ...
