Transition management is a framework concerned with long term and sustainability-oriented approaches focusing on conceptual learning, reframing and transformative outcomes. In this context, transition models are useful tools to represent t...
متن کاملRivers and Electric Networks: Crossing Disciplines in Modeling and Simulation
Electric circuits and river networks share similarities in both their network structure and derivation from conservation principals. However, the disciplines have evolved separately and developed methods and models. This paper presents the foundations for network analysis for both disciplines and shows how numerical methods developed for circuit simulations can significantly improve river netwo...
متن کاملCrossing scales, crossing disciplines: collective motion and collective action in the Global Commons†
Two conflicting tendencies can be seen throughout the biological world: individuality and collective behaviour. Natural selection operates on differences among individuals, rewarding those who perform better. Nonetheless, even within this milieu, cooperation arises, and the repeated emergence of multicellularity is the most striking example. The same tendencies are played out at higher levels, ...
متن کاملUrban land teleconnections and sustainability.
This paper introduces urban land teleconnections as a conceptual framework that explicitly links land changes to underlying urbanization dynamics. We illustrate how three key themes that are currently addressed separately in the urban sustainability and land change literatures can lead to incorrect conclusions and misleading results when they are not examined jointly: the traditional system of ...
