CONTEXTUALIZING SCENARIOS TO EXPLORE SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL FUTURES: A THREE STEP PARTICIPATORY CASE STUDY FOR THE HUMBOLDT CURRENT UPWELLING SYSTEM

Contextualizing Scenarios to Explore Social-Ecological Futures: A Three Step Participatory Case Study for the Humboldt Current Upwelling System

In the face of global change, the exploration of possible futures of marine social-ecological systems (MSES) becomes increasingly important.A variety of models aims at improving our understanding of ecosystem dynamics and complexities by assessing how systems react to internal and external drivers of change.However, these models are often built fro
