The Climate Impacts Group furthers understanding of the impacts of climate variability and change on food security. We are a group of physical and social scientists working together to define climate impacts on agricultural livelihoods and to develop adaptation and mitigation strategies. Our primary tools are climate and crop models, which include DSSAT CROPGRO, ORYZA V3 and JULES-Crop. Our own in-house model, the General Large Area Model for annual crops (GLAM) is designed with the explicit purpose of being compatible with climate model output.
