I've helped Arup's Innovation & Foresight unit to develop and communicate the ECCO modelling project (latterly renamed by them as 4see).

I consulted to Ove Arup on their Zero Carbon city planning project for Dongtan Island, Shanghai, providing a framework for iterative interdisciplinary development that brought the transport, housing, energy and water teams together. The same approach has since been applied to studies of central London, I've been told.

I developed a simulation model of P.R. China for a research group at Tsinghua University.

I developed a model of the Republic of Ireland for FEASTA, addressing Peak Oil before it was fashionable! This work later evolved into the Energy Scenarios Ireland project.

I consulted to the CSIRO Resource Futures Program (Australia) for several years, supporting systems models alongside their large input-output models

In 1999/2000, I developed a java-based simulator for running ECCO models online.

For several years I worked on EC research projects into ecological economics modelling, using the ECCO modelling approach.

I undertook a PhD thesis in ecological economics and modelling at the Centre for Human Ecology and University of Edinburgh.
