Chawk 16000L Dhabi Minor irrigation system | Case |
| The Irrigation System is located in the village Dhabi Kalan, Haryana, India at 100 miles northwest of India. The resource appropriated related to the social dilemma is water for irrigation that flows through a canal to a command area. The original cases were reported in 1980 by two authors. One author (Vander Velde 1980) argues that the irrigation system has benefited the dominant caste, Jat, more than other poorer castes in Dhabi Kalan. Another researcher, Reidinger (1980), suggests that... | 09 Aug 2016 |

There are... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Brander-Taylor Model | Model |
| This is the original Brander-Taylor Easter Island model. Brander and Taylor (1998) describes the model as the following: "The paper presents a general equilibrium model of renewable resource and population dynamics related to the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model, with man as the predator and the resource base as the prey. We apply the model to the rise and fall of Easter Island, showing that plausible parameter values generate a 'feast and famine" pattern of cyclical adjustment in... | 09 Aug 2016 |

Archetype Analysis in Commons Research | Case |
| This is a collaborative project based on the IASC Arizona 2020 workshop panel on archetype analysis for commons research. Archetypes are increasingly used across a wide range of sustainability themes for “pattern recognition, diagnosis, or scenario development”. The work draws on a family of cases from the Social-Ecological Systems (SES) Library at ASU - to explore how archetype analysis can be used to synthesize results from a set of case studies. A second goal is... | 21 Feb 2020 |
Animated demonstration of the Lorenz Model | Model |
| Animated demonstration of the Lorenz model and its sensitivity to initial conditions. The simulation starts with twenty points very close to each other, and follows them as they move further away. The starting values differ in the fifth and sixth significant digits of a single coordinate. The Lorenz model was developed by Edward Lorenz in 1963 to study fluid mechanics.The model is a three-dimentional system of differential equations. Specifically, the model describes the convection motion of a... | 09 Aug 2016 |
