GEOG 6182 - Agent-Based Modeling of Coupled Human and Natural Systems

Introduces an advanced geocomputational approach, agent-based models (ABM, also often referred to as individual based models: IBM), for the simulation of complex adaptive spatial systems in general and coupled human and natural systems, in particular. Covers fundamental theories (e.g., complexity theory and simulation theory), methods (including model design, development, calibration, and validation), and applications (e.g., in natural and social sciences) of ABM/IBM. Focuses on the integration of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) with ABM/IBM that enables the space-time studies of complex geographic phenomena. Hands-on practices are given to facilitate the understanding of modeling theories and methods.
