Academic research
Analytica is used for teaching and research in many leading universities across the world. Professors find it an ideal tool for students to learn the science and art of building effective decision models with. Its visual influence diagrams encourage students to conceptualize complex problems in the same way an expert modeler would, without getting bogged down in the detail of cell formulas. Its Intelligent Arrays help new modelers start out with a simple model and then add detail as needed.
We offer Analytica at about half-price for funded research for students and faculty
Integrated assessment of climate change
The Integrated Climate Assessment Model (ICAM) has generated a wide range of valuable insights into how to adapt to global climate change.
Making jet fuel from the sun & wind
Learn more on how Evan Sherwin employed an optimization-based techno-economic analysis, implemented in Analytica, to assess the prospects for large cost reductions.
Quantifying methane emissions
Aerial surveys found that a small number of high-impact super-emitting events are responsible for most methane emissions, which were significantly higher than previously estimated.
Rehab for a river ecosystem
Rivers tamed by artificial channels, dikes, and levees to reduce flooding, often damage habitats. Researchers created IRRM to find the best way to rehabilitate river ecosystems.
Improving water quality in the Neuse Estuary
Pollutants affect water quality and growth of toxic micro-organisms. This models helps policymakers set safe levels nitrogen to ensure the survival of shellfish and fish.
Analytica climate action model: city of Santa Cruz (ACAM-SC)
The City of Santa Cruz and Lumina developed a pilot analysis process to analyzing municipality level data and greenhouse gas reduction programs.
Evaluating “Importance” to help green building design
The importance analysis features in Analytica helped designers determine where to spend their design time, leading to building designs with reduced environmental impact.
Corporate sustainable energy purchasing plans
Most large organizations try to procure electricity from renewable sources to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. See how some are weighing their options.
