Mathematical Models in Social Ecological Systems | Case |
| This case is an umbrella to capture a range of models of ecological, social, social-ecological, and other natural systems (e.g. climate). In addition, there are several models whose main purpose is to demonstrate model visualization features related to a number of famous mathematical models including the Lorenz Model, the discrete logistic, and predator prey models. The Lorenz Model, probably the most famous of all simple models, is the first ever model of a chaotic dynamical system.... | 09 Aug 2016 |

Pumpa Irrigation System, Central region, Nepal | Case |
| The Pumpa Irrigation System draws water from the Pumpa river to serve approximately 120 households. It is a "north-south" system and is in an area with relatively steep terrain. This case was analyzed using a stylized dynamic model to assess its capacity to cope with new challenges from global change. The model suggested that the adaptive water allocation rules used by the community (sequential, 12 and 24 hour rotations) could significanty enhance the robustness of the system to increased... | 09 Aug 2016 |
