Offline version of the GCAM land allocation module

Travis-CI Build Status Coverage Status

DOI

Description

gcamland replicates the land allocation decisions made in GCAM (https:://github.com/jgcri/gcam-core). The equations are documented in Wise et al. (2014). gcamland takes in prices and agricultural productivity growth and calculates land allocation. The model can operate in either hindcast (1975-2010) or future mode (2010-2100), running either single simulations or large ensembles.

A wiki describing how to use and modify gcamland is provided at: https://github.com/JGCRI/gcamland/wiki

Please cite Wise et al. (2014) when using this package.
