Human Dimensions of Global Change
This AGCI workshop was a subset of the workshop “Biogeochemical Cycles and Population Dynamics.” It explored how humans and their social systems, affect and are affected by global change. At this session, social scientists drafted a model illustrating the key human systems that contribute to global change. The model, called the Social Process Diagram, (later published by CIESIN) provided guidance to the human dimensions of the global change research community in a similar fashion to the Bretherton Diagram of basic Earth systems. The overall goal was to help natural and social scientists, educators, resource managers, and policy makers envision and analyze how human systems interact to affect global change.
Keywords: economics, society, global change, human interactions
