A prototype framework for models of socio-hydrology: identification of key feedback loops and parameterisation approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is increasingly acknowledged that, in order to sustainably manage global freshwater resources, it is critical that we better understand the nature of human–hydrology interactions at the broader catchment system scale. Yet to date, a generic conceptual

Modelling the Minsky triad: A framework to perform reflexive MandS studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper, we propose a general framework to evaluate models of systems that are ill defined, incompletely known, and furthermore, which cannot be experimented in real conditions, such as the economical systems at the country scale, epidemics (for ...
