Education may encourage personal and collective responses to climate change, but education has proven surprisingly difficult complex. Self-perception of knowledge intelligence represent one factor that impact willingness learn about change. We explored this possibility with a case study in Raleigh, North Carolina 2015 (n = 200). Our goal was test how gender ethnicity influenced perceptions people had their own change knowledge. Survey respondents were asked strongly they agreed the statement...

Population growth and unrestricted development policies are driving low-density urbanization fragmentation of peri-urban landscapes across North America. While private individuals own most undeveloped land, little is known about how their decision-making processes shape landscape-scale patterns over time. We introduce a hybrid agent-based modeling (ABM) – cellular automata (CA) approach, developed for analyzing dynamic feedbacks between landowners' decisions to sell land development,...
