Abstract

Context: This webinar was hosted by the MultiSector Dynamics Community of Practice (MSD CoP; https://multisectordynamics.org). Abstract: Human well-being is an inherently multidimensional concept that broadly refers to what constitutes the "good life". Characterizing well-being requires a wide range of measures of quality of life. Taken together, these can provide a description of well-being and better guide decision making. In this webinar, our panel will first summarize the key themes and recommendations of interdisciplinary conversations that occurred during the course of a two-day, in-person workshop convened by PNNL September 27-28, 2023, which laid the foundations for a new research direction of well-being science and application. Next, they will present research exploring several dimensions of human well-being and their links to equity: energy security, food security, and economic measures. Finally, we will introduce the new Equity Working Group, gather community input to inform its activities, and provide avenues for ongoing engagement.

MSD CoP Webinar: Opportunities for AR7

Dataset Calvin, Katherine ; Morris, Jennifer

Context: This webinar was hosted by the MultiSector Dynamics Community of Practice (MSD CoP; https://multisectordynamics.org). Abstract: The IPCC has recently started its 7th Assessment Cycle (AR7). This presentation will provide an overview of planned IPCC reports and activities, as well as information on how to engage with the IPCC in AR7. Presenter : Dr. Katherine Calvin (Chief Scientist and Senior Climate Advisor, NASA) Moderator: Jennifer Morris (MIT; MSD CoP SSG); Patrick M.

MSD CoP Webinar: Energy and AI

Dataset Burleyson, Casey ; Morris, Stephanie T. ; Mongird, Kendall

Context: This webinar was hosted by the MultiSector Dynamics Community of Practice (MSD CoP; https://multisectordynamics.org). Abstract: Projections of the need for new data centers to support Artificial Intelligence (AI) are large but highly uncertain. Recent projections indicate up to a 15% annual growth rate in data center electricity demand within the next 5-10 years. Given that most electric utilities are required to have a reserve margin of roughly the same magnitude as the projected growth in demand, these new data center loads could soon threaten resource adequacy and reliability unless data centers build their own generation, interruptible loads aremore »« less
MSD CoP Webinar: Advancing MSD Research with Artificial Intelligence

Dataset Galelli, Stefano ; Gold, David ; Sturtevant, Jillian ; ...

Context: This webinar was hosted by the MultiSector Dynamics Community of Practice (MSD CoP; https://multisectordynamics.org). Abstract: Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are quickly changing the landscape of tools available to conceptualize, execute, and disseminate research. We posit that research efforts in Multi-Sector Dynamics can benefit from these advances; the new AI in MSD Working Group thus aims to identify and quantify opportunities and risks associated with their implementation. In this webinar, we will first introduce the new AI Working Group, which was initially conceived during the first MSD workshop in October 2023. Next, our panelists will explore how generativemore »« less
MSD CoP Webinar: "Generative agents: A new frontier for representing human actors and their behavior in MSD models"

Dataset Chen, Cong ; Zeng, Yongchao

Context: This webinar was hosted by the MultiSector Dynamics Community of Practice (MSD CoP; https://multisectordynamics.org). Talk #1: Behavioral Generative Agents for Energy Operations Presenter: Dr. Cong Chen (Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College) Abstract: Accurately modeling consumer behavior in energy operations remains challenging due to inherent uncertainties, behavioral complexities, and limited empirical data. This talk introduces a novel approach leveraging generative agents--artificial agents powered by large language models--to realistically simulate customer decision-making in dynamic energy operations. Talk #2: Simulating multiple human perspectives in socio-ecological systems using large language models Presenter: Dr. Yongchao Zeng (Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research,more »« less
MSD CoP Webinar: Representing Climate Impacts in Scenaros

Dataset Tebaldi, Claudia ; Morris, Jennifer

Context: This webinar was hosted by the MultiSector Dynamics Community of Practice (MSD CoP; https://multisectordynamics.org). Abstract: Scenarios of future emissions and land use have been most commonly produced without accounting for the effects that climate impacts linked to those emissions and land use changes may have. The questions of how important such impacts could be, at the regional or global scale, has become an increasingly cogent one. Using the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM), we implement climate impacts on water supply, agricultural productivity, and energy demand driven by climatic impact drivers whose evolution over the 21st century is representativemore »« less
