Research Foci
Use of process-based models for an enhanced understanding and governance of human-environment systems under global change:
- Exploring dynamics of socio-environmental resource systems under uncertainty
- Effects of policy instruments for global food security and for coping with climate risk (such as weather insurances) on human-environment systems
- Adequate representation of human decisions in agent-based models for natural resource use
- Advancement of methods related to incorporate cross-scale effects in land use models
- Potential of SES models as tool of thinking and tool for communication in inter- and transdisciplinary research
