Welcome!

The purpose of this brief, web-based, introduction to Systems Theory and Modeling is to facilitate dialogue and collaboration among people with different backgrounds, experience, and training who must work together -- sharing their ideas, concerns, and expertise -- to solve today's and tomorrow's pressing social and environmental problems.

This site was developed by the Division of Science and Environmental Policy at California State University, Monterey Bay, with generous funding from NASA and the Earth Systems Science Education (ESSE) Program of the Universities Space Research Association (USRA).
