Abstract
This chapter considers the global problem of environmental change and security. The authors adopt the concept of “sustainable development,” defined as the stable state of complex human society-environment interactions, to consider this problem. Mathematical modelling is one approach to understand contemporary global environmental change and to project future scenarios. This chapter also introduces the notion of space-time ecological patterns of regions for the purpose of ecological modelling and decision-making.
