Earth system modeling with complex dynamic human societies: the copan:CORE World-Earth modeling framework — •Jonathan F.

Possible future trajectories of the Earth system in the Anthropocene are determined by the increasing entanglement of processes operating in the physical, chemical and biological systems of the planet and those occurring in its human societies, their cultures and economies. Here, we introduce the copan:CORE open source library that provides a framework for developing, composing and running World-Earth models, i.e., models of socio-ecological co-evolutionary dynamics up to planetary scales. copan:CORE is an object-oriented software package written in Python that is designed for users of different roles. Model end users are enabled to easily run parallel simulations combining already available and tested model components. Component developers can contribute their own building blocks, while framework developers work on the model infrastructure. copan:CORE's modular design is tailored for community integration across disciplines, supporting rapid protyping, ensemble simulations and sensitivity, robustness and structural stability analyses.
