4/

On #CoupledHumanAndNaturalSystems (CHANS), the classic overview by Liu et al. (2007) [2][3]

"complexity of organizational, spatial, and temporal couplings"

- "patterns and processes that link human and natural systems"

- "reciprocal interactions and feedbacks—both the effects of humans on the environment and the effects of the environment on humans"

- "how large-scale phenomena emerge from local interactions of multiple agents and in turn influence local system" [2]

#DeepUncertainty

1/

On the myth of an unreasonably precise #ReturnPeriod in #CoupledHumanAndNaturalSystems (CHANS) under the #ClimateChange and highly uncertain #TippingPoints "when earth systems suddenly tip into alternate semisteady states" [1]

"common #CognitiveBiases complicate the understanding of #probability [...] For instance, when lacking or considering historical data, people tend to base their estimations of probability on what they have recently experienced" [1]
