Structuring and evaluating decision support processes to enhance the robustness of complex human–natural systems
Decision-making in the context of complex human–natural systems requires a transition
towards robust model-based inferences which are effective despite uncertainties of human …

Balancing efficiency and resilience objectives in pursuit of sustainable infrastructure transformations
Highlights•There is an intrinsic tension between efficiency (E) and resilience (R).•Greater
resilience often means less efficiency, and vice versa.•Infrastructure systems tend to align …

From data to decisions: Processing information, biases, and beliefs for improved management of natural resources and environments
PD Glynn, AA Voinov, CD Shapiro, PA White - Earth's Future, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Our different kinds of minds and types of thinking affect the ways we decide, take action, and
cooperate (or not). Derived from these types of minds, innate biases, beliefs, heuristics, and …

It takes a village to run a model—the social practices of hydrological modeling
LA Melsen - Water Resources Research, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Computer models are frequently used tools in hydrological research. Many decisions related
to the model set‐up and configuration have to be made before a model can be run …

A competency framework for participatory modeling
Participatory modeling (PM) is a craft that is often learned by training 'on the job'and
mastered through years of practice. There is little explicit knowledge available on identifying …
