Models are used in a variety of fields, including land change science, to better understand the dynamics of systems, to develop hypotheses that can be tested empirically, and to make predictions and/or evaluate scenarios for use in assessment activities. Modeling is an important component of each of the three foci outlined in the science plan of the Land-use and -cover change (LUCC) project (Tu...

The varied islands of the Pacific provide an ideal natural experiment for studying the factors shaping human impact on the environment. Previous research into pre-European deforestation across the Pacific indicated a major effect of environment but did not account for cultural variation or control for dependencies in the data due to shared cultural ancestry and geographic proximity. The relativ...

The immediate goals of our study were twofold: (1) we sought to create a natural resource baseline for each of the communities in the area of investigation by utilizing GIS technology to monitor land use activities, to inventory plant and animal habitats as well as cultural resource features, and to redefine territorial boundaries.
