Some of the hottest topics in both science and politics at the moment are climate change and other environmental issues. These changes are driven by many complex interacting factors - some biological, some physical, and some created by humans. We believe the best way to tackle such a multifaceted problem is with a multidisciplinary approach. Our research brings together economists, hydrologists, historians, ecologists, anthropologists and climatologists working side-by-side, day-by-day towards common objectives. We see human factors such as sociology and economics as inseparable from climate issues, and by including these factors in our models, hope to offer practical and implementable solutions.
