Modeling Climate Change with MARGO - Lecture 25
Explore climate change modeling in this comprehensive lecture from MIT's Computational Thinking Spring 2021 series. Dive into the MARGO (Mitigation, Adaptation, and Geoengineering Optimization) model, learning about emission mitigation, carbon dioxide removal, and geoengineering strategies to minimize climate suffering. Understand the equations behind adaptation, cost and damages calculations, and the concept of net benefit in climate policy. Discover how to solve inverse problems and use JuMP for both unconstrained and constrained optimization in climate modeling. Gain insights into incorporating economic variables into climate models and see how optimal policies depend on model assumptions. Conclude with valuable advice for computer science students interested in climate modeling.
