Join the Mobility and Migration Modeling Intercomparison Project (3MIP)
The Mobility and Migration Modeling Intercomparison Project (3MIP) invites you to join a new initiative to advance the modeling of migration and mobility in the context of climate change.
Over the past decades, migration modeling capacity has expanded considerably, with diverse approaches including ABM, IAM, Gravity, Radiation, and others. Similar to how model intercomparison projects (MIPs) such as AgMIP and ISIMIP have strengthened agricultural and climate modeling, 3MIP aims to improve the robustness, comparability, and usability of migration models. By standardizing methods, characterizing uncertainties, and setting shared benchmarks, we hope to build a foundation for stronger science and policy applications.
This initiative is jointly supported by Princeton’s CPREE, Cornell University’s Department of Global Development, and the Columbia Climate School. Our long-term goal is to develop a suite of cases and benchmarks for comparison. We begin with a first case study on coastal flooding and mobility in Bangladesh.
3MIP warmly invites:
- Modelers, model users, and users of model outputs
- Experts in migration, mobility, and coastal flooding
- Especially, scholars and practitioners from Bangladesh
Opportunities for participation include:
- Regular online engagements with the 3MIP community
- Contributions to comparative case studies
- Participation in a planned conference session at the 2026 iEMS meeting (Dublin)
- Contributions to a forthcoming Topical Collection in Climatic Chang

Jones Publishes Article on Perspectives of Young People on Professional Mentoring
CSDE Affiliate Kristian Jones (Social Work) just published a new article, “Friends in Our Lives: Perspectives of Young People Who Participated in a Professional Mentoring Program,” in the Journal of Applied Youth Studies. Despite the emerging utilization of professional mentoring programs, little is known about the ideal characteristics of a professional mentor and young people’s experiences in these professional mentoring programs. Jones and co-authors interviewed 12 young people who participated in the same professional mentoring program in different regions of the United States. The participants discussed their ideal characteristics in a mentor, highlighted factors that made the professional mentoring program impactful to them, and shared their ideas on how to improve the overall program.
Bennett Authors Book on Geopolitical and Ecological Change in the Arctic
CSDE Affiliate Mia M. Bennett (Geography) has released a new book, Unfrozen: The Fight for the Future of the Arctic, published by Yale University Press. Together with co-author Klaus Dodds, Bennett examines the state of the Arctic today–emphasizing the twin dangers of climate change and geopolitical competition. Unfrozen reveals how the region is becoming a space of experimentation for everything from Indigenous governance to subsea technologies. Growing geopolitical competition is accompanying environmental disruption. Countries including Russia, China, and the United States are investing in the Arctic and consolidating their interests in strategic access, resource exploitation, and alliance-building.
