Complex Land Systems: the Need for Long Time Perspectives to Assess their Future
John A. Dearing,Ademola K. Braimoh,Ademola K. Braimoh,Anette Reenberg,Billie Turner,Sander van der Leeuw +5 more
TL;DR: The embedding of empirical information over multidecadal timescales in attempts to define and model sustainable and adaptive management of land systems is now not only possible, but also necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Placing archaeology at the center of socio-natural studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that current environmental research based in life, earth, and social sciences pays inadequate attention to the long time span and slow-moving processes that often underlie environmental crises.
Book
The model-based archaeology of socionatural systems
TL;DR: The authors developed a model-based archaeology that uses specific, generally quantitative models providing partial descriptions of socionatural systems of interest that are then examined against those systems, and presented an argument for a new way of thinking about how archaeology is conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
