Resource Abstract:
- description: The methodology used to produce these projections differs from ICLUS v2.0 (https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/iclus/recordisplay.cfm?deid=322479).
The demographic components of change (i.e., rates of fertility and mortality) for ICLUS v2.1 were taken directly from the
Wittgenstein Centre Data Explorer (http://witt.null2.net/shiny/wic/). These projections were produced more recently than the
Census projections used in ICLUS v2.0, and incorporate more recent observations of population change. SSP2 is a middle-of-the-road
projection, where social, economic and technological trends do not shift markedly from historical patterns, resulting in a
U.S. population of 455 million people by 2100. Domestic migration trends remain largely consistent with the recent past, however
the amenity value of local climate (average precipitation and temperature for summer and winter) is used in ICLUS v2.1.1 to
influence migration patterns. The name of the climate model used as the source of future climate patterns is included at the
end of the file name (e.g., "GISS-E2-R" or "HadGEM2-ES"). The approach for incorporating climate change
into the migration model is described in the ICLUS v2.0 documentation. RCP4.5 assumes that global greenhouse gas emissions
increase into the latter part of the century, before leveling off and eventually stabilizing by 2100 as a result of various
climate change policies.; abstract: The methodology used to produce these projections differs from ICLUS v2.0 (https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/iclus/recordisplay.cfm?deid=322479).
