Exploring LNG Trade and Critical Materials in Energy Transitions with GCAM

Join us at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 8 for a seminar with Gokul Iyer, team lead at the Joint Global Change Research Institute (JGCRI).

This seminar will provide an overview of the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM)— an open-source multisector model developed and maintained at the Joint Global Change Research Institute—that is used to model interactions across human and Earth systems such as energy, economy, agriculture and land-use, water and climate. 

The talk will also describe applications of GCAM to modeling of LNG trade and critical minerals and materials and their interactions with rest of the economy.
