The mission of the Advanced Systems Analysis (ASA) Program is to bridge systems-analytical methods and applications in the areas of global change science.
ASA researchers develop “exploratory applied mathematics” by identifying new challenges in systems analysis and elaborating new methods to tackle them.
They also support “transfer of methods” by identifying promising new applications for existing systems analysis methods and developing interdisciplinary case studies. ASA researchers help promote advanced systems analysis approaches to a broad scientific expert community and to the public.
