    • Application of the Analogue Method to Modeling Heat Waves: A Case Study With Power Transformers 

      Gao, X.; Schlosser, C.A.; Morgan, E. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2017-08)
      Large power transformers (LPTs) are critical yet increasingly vulnerable components of the power grid. More frequent and intense heat waves or high temperatures can degrade their operational lifetime and thereby increase ...

    • The Revenue Implications of a Carbon Tax 

      Yuan, M.; Metcalf, G.E.; Reilly, J.; Paltsev, S. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2017-07)
      A primary reason for implementing a carbon or greenhouse gas tax is to reduce emissions, but in recent years there has been increased interest in a carbon tax’s revenue potential. This revenue could be used for federal ...

    • The Future Water Risks Under Global Change in Southern and Eastern Asia: Implications of Mitigation 

      Gao, X.; Schlosser, C.A.; Fant, C.; Strzepek, K. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2017-07)
      Understanding and predicting the future vulnerability of freshwater resources is a major challenge with important societal implications. Many studies have identified Asia as a hotspot of severe water stress in the coming ...
