Their project is “A Bayesian approach to complex land use change modelling“.  It proposes to address the fundamental challenge of parameter estimation of cellular automata models for land management using approximate Bayesian computation with Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. The project has been awarded £50K, it runs for one year, and it begins on 1st August 2019.
