0083992BrownProjecting change in land use and land cover is often more art than science. This project will explore the intersection of social systems, land use, land cover, and the physical environment. The goal is to better understand how human behavior, policy choices, and economic forces affect land use, how land use relates to land cover, and how social and ecological systems interact in the context of changing landscapes in the Great Lakes region. The approach to exploring this complexity involves: forming interdisciplinary working groups; conducting pilot studies to help define and characterize drivers of landscape change; assessing existing spatial models that link social and biological processes; and formulating conceptual models that express relationships between social and biological systems.

0083992布朗预测土地利用和土地覆盖的变化往往是艺术而不是科学。 该项目将探索社会系统，土地利用，土地覆盖和物理环境的交叉点。 目标是更好地了解人类行为，政策选择和经济力量如何影响土地利用，土地利用如何与土地覆盖相关，以及社会和生态系统如何在五大湖地区不断变化的景观背景下相互作用。 探索这一复杂性的方法包括：组建跨学科工作组;开展试点研究，以帮助界定和描述景观变化的驱动因素;评估将社会和生物过程联系起来的现有空间模型;以及制定表达社会和生物系统之间关系的概念模型。
