Research Interests

Rachel and the CIAS team are exploring impacts of climate change on human and natural systems. Recent foci have included simulations of drought and impacts on biodiversity. She is now exploring the interactions between land use policies and climate policy. CIAS is being adapted to consider how agricultural systems, natural ecosystems and urban systems may compete for land and water in the future.
