Applications Library

The TOA-MD Applications Library

The Applications Library is an archive of publications, models and data from studies using TOA-MD. In addition to archiving studies that have used TOA-MD, we hope to lower the cost and improve the quality of impact assessments by creating a data bank of parameters for TOA-MD users, for meta-analysis, and other research purposes. Below is a list of published projects that have used TOA-MD. Some are open access and can be obtained by clicking the title. If you wish to view copies of any of these publications or the associated data sets for personal research, we encourage you to contact the authors or e-mail us at tradeoffs.team@oregonstate.edu and include an explanation of the intended use.
