Abstract
Abstract: In this short informal session Fabian Wagner will present aspects of his recent and current work, including science-based air pollution policy support, long-term integrated assessment of climate change, and aerosol dimming of solar radiation. He will then touch upon ideas for applications of multi-layer networks, Bayesian belief networks, and the question of how to make better use of structural information in integrated assessment models. Hopefully in this discussion overlapping interests can be identified and ideas of how to link CSH and IIASA activities relating to health and mega-cities can be explored.
