The Elephant in the Room - Enabling the justification of decision model fit in social-ecological models
Agent-based models are particularly suitable to reflect the dynamics of humans, nature, and their interactions, making them a crucial approach for understanding social-ecological systems. The formalisations of human decision-making are central to resulting model behaviours. Despi

Social uncertainties in social-ecological systems
Policy dynamics in the dutch delta programme
Policy arenas are of major importance for long-term water management. Here, decisions are made. Nevertheless, the uncertainties deriving from the policy arenas have gained very limited attention so far in future studies. We analyse longterm water management in The Netherlands, i.
