How is it possible to consider the many different aspects of an
environmental problem including natural science aspects such as
geology, zoology, botany, and chemistry as well as the economic and
social aspects?
The answer to this question is to implement a very wide spectrum
of expertise in the modelling team, but it gives rise to the next
question: How do you ensure good cooperation from team members
when they represent many different disciplines and have many
different opinions and “languages”?
How is it possible to consider all relevant ecosystem properties at the
same time?
How is it possible to integrate these insights?
How can we ensure that all important stakeholders are included in
the modelling process?
How is it possible to integrate impacts and knowledge at different
scales?
