About SEE

Argonne's Socio-Economic-Environmental (SEE) modeling project involves the integrated study of human society and the earth system, two systems that are often studied separately but that in practice interact in complex ways. We seek to use advanced economic, mathematical, and computational methods, as well as environmental expertise, to build models more accurately represent these interactions. The result of this work will be an extensible framework that can accommodate a large set of components. In a first phase, we are developing a portfolio of models to assess and quantify the economics of biofuels under various policy and climate change scenarios.
