Solving problems of sustainability requires understanding social and environmental systems as being tightly coupled. Each system’s individual components or parts interact in complex ways, and feedbacks—or how change in one part of the system affects other system parts—determine the dynamics of socio

Selecting a Modeling Approach for Socio-Environmental Systems Webinar

Tues. 29 Nov. 2022, 15:00 –16:30 (EDT UTC -4)

Addressing complex problems that cross disciplinary and sectoral boundaries requires combining knowledge from multiple domains, and integrated modeling provides an ideal platform for this. It facilitates synthesis of data, theories, and perspectives to explore interactions and seek solutions. But
