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...

	[[~~image~~:~~Ningalooreef-crop~~.~~jpg~~\|~~200px~~\|left\|link=~~Model_highlight~~#~~XBeach Applied to Coral Reef~~]] ~~'''XBeach Applied~~ to ~~Coral Reef'''<br>''XBeach'' is a coastal morpho-~~dynamics ~~model that predicts sediment transport~~ and ~~morphology under the influence~~ of ~~wave~~ dynamics~~. Xbeach is designed~~ to ~~model coastal changes under~~ the ~~influence of storms~~ and ~~hurricanes and helps assess coastal protection measures. Dr. van Dongeren, one of~~ the ~~core model developers, successfully applied XBeach to investigate longwave dynamics at a remote fringing coral reef in West~~-~~Australia. The simulations showed~~ that on the ~~reef platform 50% of the bed shear stresses originates from infragravity waves~~.
