SLUDGE: Simulated land-use dependent on edge-effect externalities
Institution: Department of Geograpy, Department of Environmental Science and Policy, and the Center for Social Complexity, George Mason University
Description: I use an agent-based celluar automaton model to investigate links between distance-dependent (edge-effect) spatial externalities, transportation costs, and emergent landscape patterns. More>>
