Paul Stancioff will be at Merryspring Nature Center to lead a presentation called, The EN-ROADS Interactive Climate Solutions Simulator, Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 12 p.m. This talk will also be presented via the Teams link.

According to Merryspring, in a news release, Stancioff will demonstrate an engaging, accessible, but highly sophisticated climate policy simulator, inviting the audience to propose various climate solutions and giving instant feedback on their long-term climate impact. The simulator allows users to explore the impact that dozens of policies—such as electrifying transport, pricing carbon, and improving agricultural practices—have on hundreds of factors like energy prices, temperature, air quality, and sea level rise.

Developed by Climate Interactive, the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, and Ventana Systems, En-ROADS is a system dynamics model carefully grounded in the best available science, and has been calibrated against a wide range of existing integrated assessment, climate, and energy models.

Paul Stancioff is a retired professor of physics at the University of Maine at Farmington. In recent years he and his wife, Cynthia, have published a series of articles about energy and climate.

This talk is part of Merryspring’s Winter Talk series, generously sponsored by Camden Riverhouse Hotel.
