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

The Metacoupling Framework Informs Stream Salmonid Management and Governance
Stream salmonid fisheries are ecologically and socioeconomically important at local to global scales throughout the world. Although these fisheries are interacting systems of biota, habitats, and humans, systematic social-ecological integration across ...

A coupled modeling framework for sustainable watershed management in transboundary river basins [PDF]
There is a growing recognition among water resource managers that sustainable watershed management needs to not only account for the diverse ways humans benefit from the environment, but also incorporate the impact of human actions on the natural system.

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