F
Food availability per capita. +
Food availability, including fish and wild food. +
Forest management type: clear cut, selective logging, forest plantation or additional deforestation. +
Demand for forest plantation area. +
Harvest losses (from damaged trees and unusable tree parts) or harvest residues that are left in the forest by purpose because of environmental concerns. These losses/residues remains in the forest after harvest, in in principle enter the soil pools. But they could also be used for other/energy purposes. +
The fraction of forest harvested in a grid, in clear cutting, selective cutting, wood plantations and additional deforestation. Fraction of selective cut determines the fraction of timber harvested by selective cutting of trees in semi-natural and natural forest. +
All components (models, modules) of the IMAGE framework are depicted in this schematic. Roughly they comprise the Driver, Pressure, State, Impact, Response (DPSIR) framework. +
G
GAINS provides an authoritative framework for assessing strategies that reduce emissions of multiple air pollutants and greenhouse gases at least costs, and minimize their negative effects on human health, ecosystems and climate change. +
GCAM is a dynamic-recursive model with technology-rich representations of the economy, energy sector, land use and water linked to a climate model of intermediate complexity that can be used to explore climate change mitigation policies including carbon taxes, carbon trading, regulations and accelerated deployment of energy technology. +
The Global Climate Forum initiates and performs high-level research on climate change. Southampton University, Kiel University +
Climate change patterns of General Circulation models used to downscale changes in global mean temperature to changes in temperature and precipitation at grid level; default pattern from HadCM3 of the Hadley Centre. +
Gross Domestic Product per capita, measured as the market value of all goods and services produced in a region in a year, and is used in the IMAGE framework as a generic indicator of economic activity. +
Scaled down GDP per capita from country to grid level, based on population density. +
Measure of income disparity in a population. If all have the same income, GINI equals 1. The lower the GINI, the wider the gap between the lowest and highest income groups. +
It quantifies changes in human development, including access to food, water and energy, and the impact of economic, social and environmental changes +
The Global Land One-kilometer Base Elevation (GLOBE) Digital Elevation Model, Version 1.0. +
Initial version of IMAGE 3.0 framework +
Globio uses results from the core models and calculates the effects of global change on terrestrial biodiversity. +
Initial version of IMAGE 3.0 framework +
