Coupled Human–Natural Systems and Global Environmental Change: Innovative Interdisciplinary Approaches Posters
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 56624
Session Description:
Understanding the complex interactions among human and natural systems is essential for informing sustainable responses to global environmental changes. This session focuses on innovative approaches for developing predictive understanding of coupled human-Earth system dynamics across spatial and temporal scales. This could include, for example, interactions across the energy-water-land nexus, the influence of extreme events on critical infrastructure systems, connections between climate and human activities, or feedbacks associated with population dynamics and human health. Approaches for simulating these and related interactions range from global models that account for a large number of processes at fairly coarse resolution, to coupled modeling frameworks that focus on a particular subset of systems with high process fidelity. New methods for exchanging information across sectors and scales, as well as data and approaches for calibrating and validating these modeling approaches, are a key research need.
