Have you published a paper using GCAM?

[kvcalvin]

We'd like to update this page (https://jgcri.github.io/gcam-doc/references.html) to include papers from the GCAM community. If you have published a paper using GCAM, please post it in this discussion so we can get it added.

Ryan McManamay (Baylor University), Henriette Jager (ORNL) and I just published some independent research in a paper titled "Global Biodiversity Implications of Alternative Electrification Strategies Under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways" which utilized GCAM outcomes published in Graham et al. 2020.

@kvcalvin Just to make sure I understand what is useful to post here, are you thinking that it's useful to post papers that may have been externally funded/led efforts by the broader GCAM community (i.e., by teams outside of PNNL/JGCRI)? That's how I interpreted your message after seeing the response from @crvernon. For example, we know all the GCIMS and IHESD papers, presumably, through internal documentation (e.g., https://jgcri.github.io/gcam-doc/references.html, though this does not seem comprehensive). But we might want to list papers here that are led and/or funded externally that might not be on the team's radar? Following that logic, here are a few recent papers:

@kvcalvin Do we only want to collect papers that are using GCAM itself (since this conversation is on the gcam-core repository), or also papers that are part of the broader suite of interconnected tools? For example, there might be a paper that focuses on Xanthos or Demeter. It would be nice to maintain a list of such papers as well, even if it's a separate list, so that everyone can see how widely these various models are being used by the research community. Maybe @crvernon already does this for other tools.

[crvernon]

@FeralFlows I don't publicly report ancillary GCIMS model citations elsewhere, but we can certainty can start to do so!

[FeralFlows]

@crvernon Could we list publication on the repositories for the ancillary GCIMS models? For example, we could have a running list of papers that used xanthos on the xanthos repository? Obviously a ton of papers incidentally use Xanthos outputs if they're using GCAM, but we could just list papers (on the xanthos repository) where Xanthos played a key role, for example.

[crvernon]

@FeralFlows sure, we can do that.

[crvernon]

Hi @FeralFlows we now have a discussion board for Xanthos here: https://github.com/JGCRI/xanthos/discussions

[fkanyako]

I just published our paper "Uncertainty analysis of the future cost of wind energy on climate change mitigation" using GCAM.

Most of our EPA GLIMPSE/GCAM team's publications have a PNNL/JGCRI author or co-author, so you likely have those on your list already. Here is one that doesn't:
