Session Description:
One of the biggest challenges in predictive modeling of human and Earth systems is that climate, energy, water, land, and other related sectors are interconnected on a variety of space and time scales. Most of these systems are also being exposed to a range of stresses and are experiencing either deliberate or autonomous adaptation, further complicating efforts to make model-based predictions or projections. The integrated assessment modeling community has made efforts to fill some of these gaps by developing models that represent multiple sectors in a single modeling framework, typically with all or most sectors represented using highly aggregated methods. Increasingly, researchers from different fields are developing strategies for bringing together higher-resolution models from multiple sectors, often at regional to continental scales, to address issues that require simultaneous high-fidelity representations of multiple human and natural systems. This session will highlight the successes and challenges associated with integrated multi-sector, multi-scale modeling.
