MERGE is organised around research areas that collectively underpin a cohesive interdisciplinary research environment. The MERGE research areas are: Development, modelling and evaluation of climate-vegetation processes (RA1) Past variations in climate and vegetation (RA2) Vegetation, emissions and particles (RA3) Advanced statistics for model evaluation, simulation set-up and analysis (RA4) The c

Ecosystem and Earth-system modelling In their research, MERGE-members often utilise research infrastructure for ecosystem and earth-system modelling, some of which are partly financed by MERGE. Some examples of the most relevant research infrastructure that is available to our researchers are listed and described below.Dynamic global vegetation modelling using LPJ-GUESS (Lund-Potsdam-Jena General

MERGE has, together with the SRA BECC, a stakeholder reference group. It consists of high-level experts, representing government authorities, branch organisations, companies and NGOs in areas of agriculture, forestry, nature conservation and climate change. The Stakeholder Reference Group convenes annually with the Boards of BECC and MERGE. As one basis for the choice of research problems address

As a MERGE researcher you can receive help and support for activities that strengthens your research and benefits the research area. The allocation of MERGE resources is based on an annual budget decided by the board. Some specific decisions are taken by the board, in other cases the board allocates resources to a specific task for later decision. Topics that will be given priorityPlease take thes

Stakeholder interaction and outreach are central to MERGE. We work to advance transdisciplinary research, understand societal needs, and ensure that knowledge generated through climate modelling is used both within academia and beyond, providing a foundation for informed decision-making. We invite you to explore MERGE's different forms of outreach below, and welcome you to get in touch if you are
