Meeting the challenges of modelling coupled human-environmental systems - GLP Nodal Office of Integration and Modelling

Modelling land system change using scientific approaches that integrate the human and environmental systems are increasingly needed. Integrated models are dependent upon our ability, not only to understand and describe the systems, but also to couple different modelling approaches. By promoting and supporting the Global Land Project science plan, the GLP Nodal Office of Integration and Modelling has contributed to the international research agenda through events which have brought together researchers from a broad range of disciplines to address the issues involved in modelling coupled human-environmental systems.
