An international team of researchers (USA – Columbia University, The Nature Conservancy, North Carolina State University, UC Berkeley, Italy) modified a diffusion-based model of human mobility in combination with population, geographic, and climatic data to estimate the sources, destinations, and flux of potential migrants as driven by sea level rise (SLR) in Bangladesh in the years 2050 and 2100. By linking the sources of migrants displaced by SLR with their likely destinations, they demonstrated an effective approach for predicting climate-driven migrant flows, especially in data-limited settings… read more.
