12/05/2017

Erich Striessnig, Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital, receives Fulbright-Botstiber Visiting Professorship at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado to study the sociodemographic characteristics of climate change.

During his four month stay Striessnig will combine the multi-dimensional cohort-component model developed by IIASA in collaboration with the Wittgenstein Centre with the NCAR model, by adding age-structure to the spatial dimension of population heterogeneity.
