Abstract: Human modifications of the world's ecosystems are expanding in tandem with increasing industrialization, human population, and per capita consumption. These changes can have dramatic consequences not only for the natural environment, but also for the systems that sustain our populations. Mathematical models may provide the only way to estimate how these changes may unfold in the future, and what inferences we can draw from current day observations – information that centrally important to develop scientific advice for policy. I will discuss predictive socio-ecological modeling, providing illustrative examples from my research at national, continental and global scales.
