Abstract1 SLEUTH is a cellular automata (CA) model that has been successfully applied
worldwide over the last 15 years to simulate land use change. The objective of this paper is …

Due to the increase in future uncertainty caused by rapid environmental, societal, and
technological change, exploring multiple scenarios has become increasingly important in …

The Climate impact studies in hydrology often rely on climate change information at fine
spatial resolution. However, general circulation models (GCMs), which are among the most …

Land use change models are tools for understanding and explaining the causes and
consequences of land use dynamics. Recently, new models, combining knowledge and …

Understanding the impacts of climate change on people and the environment requires an
understanding of the dynamics of both climate and land use/land cover changes. A range of …

Land-use changes under the shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) and the
representative concentration pathways (RCPs) have been analyzed globally, but how …

China has experienced a period of rapid economic growth during the past few decades
especially in Shanghai. The rapid urbanization has caused great change for land use and …

Global environmental change scenarios have typically provided projections of land use and
land cover for a relatively small number of regions or using a relatively coarse resolution …

Cities are at the forefront of climate policies,,,,,. However, urban climate policies are not
implemented in a vacuum; they interact with other policy goals, such as economic …

Land-use and land-cover change are important drivers of global environmental change,
