Use of process-based models for an enhanced understanding and governance of social-ecological systems under global change:

  2. Effects of policy instruments for global food security and for coping with climate risk (such as weather insurances) on socio-environmental systems (SES)
  3. Adequate representation of human decisions in agent-based models for natural resource use Journal Club
  4. Advancement of methods related to incorporate cross-scale effects in land use models
  5. Potential of SES models as tool of thinking and tool for communication in inter- and transdisciplinary research
