A recent Human dimensions workshop: Linking Earth System Dynamics and Social System Modeling, was held in Boulder last May with the goal 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. Workshop presentations and findings are presented. More...
