Overarching aims

Our objectives are:

• To identify and quantify the impacts of land-used induced land-cover changes on the evolution of climate between the pre-industrial epoch, the present-day and into the future. 
• We use a) multi-model and b) ensemble simulations to assess the significance and robustness of the identified changes.
• Our assessments of the impacts of land cover change will explore the mean climate, climate variability and climate extremes.
