<slide title="Introduction"> Many of the human behaviors that drive climate change and environmental degradation are deeply embedded in our society, economy, and government, and are mutually reinforcing. Better modeling of human-natural systems can help in many ways:
- Analyzing feedback loops can help identify leverage points, where small policy changes can have pervasive
impacts.
- Allowing models at diverse scales and contexts to
interact can help scientists integrate knowledge.
- Interactive models can facilitate communication
with policymakers and make complex problems intelligible.
The Open Model is a modeling framework aimed at these issues. </slide>
<slide title="Applicability">
- Systemically intractable due over-determined, reinforcing drives, and spatially heterogeneous.
- Environmental and public health issues
- environmental degradation, agricultural practices in poor countries, obesity, substance abuse, groundwater use, and fishery management
- rebound effects and cross-border shifts (e.g., carbon leakage)

- Fisheries Project
- Climate Behaviors

<slide title="Amalgamated Modeling">
</slide>
<slide title="Amalgamated Modeling"> Coupling causes feedback, and models are defined at different scales.
Amalgamated modeling allows models to interact, specialize, and "overlap". </slide>

<slide title="Multiple Networks"> Models use multiple networks simultaneously
- Different paths on which stocks flow
- Structured disaggregations into classes
- Capturing network properties
