Confronting Issues of Scale in SES Modeling

Resource: Learning Materials

In this tutorial video, Hsiao-Hsuan ‘Rose’ Wang presents the types of scale issues likely to arise in each SES modeling phase, while highlighting how to deal with them—based on the 2021 article “Socio-technical scales in socio-environmental modeling: Managing a system-of-systems modeling approach.” It is intended for practitioners and scholars who commission, sponsor, or use SES models.
