Purpose: To assess the intellectual, informatics, and material resources needed to develop global models of human systems dynamics and couple them with models of Earth system dynamics in order to further understanding of the interactions and feedbacks within the integrated human-environmental system that dominates the globe today. Coupled human and Earth system models will help us better understand and anticipate consequences of changes in both social and natural drivers of coupled social/natural systems (e.g., climate, policy changes, etc.). This workshop will establish an interdisciplinary scientific network with the expertise needed to build integrated Human-Earth System Models (HESMs) to carry this initiative forward.
Outcomes: A three year research plan and timetable to identify the most tractable components for modeling of the coupled human-Earth system that can be scaled up from the local to the global. In addition, further development of a US national center for advanced social informatics and analytics.
Output: Recommendations for modeling priorities and resource needs, and a new community of modelers of global-scale coupled human and Earth system models.
