Data analysis and modeling to support policy decisions in environmental, transportation, and energy systems

摘要

This issue of Environment Systems & Decisions, our sixteenth published issue, marks the milestone of our fourth year of publication. In these 4 years, over 2000 pages of high-quality research have been published on a variety of topics including energy, environment, transportation, nan-otechnology, human health, climate change, and cyber security, covering academic disciplines such as decision analysis, systems engineering, risk analysis, ecology, public policy, economics, finance, data science, and psychology. This issue covers much of the same topics-application domains in this issue range from modeling of climate and transportation systems to discussions on science diplomacy and participatory decision-making tools. In particular, many of the papers in this issue focus on using data and modeling techniques to inform policy decisions such as large-scale vehicle fleet management, site selection of landfill facilities, or interventions to reduce the adverse impacts of heat waves in urban environments.
