On Saturday, the Northeastern Association for Public Policy Students (NAPPS) hosted its first Urban Sustainability Simulation to practice real-world skills. Participants were charged to implement policies that would bring about water sustainability in a city. @nu-policyschool.bsky.social

Happy to share a first paper on Fora.ai and how it supports solution-building for complex problems like flooding. The platform's collaborative visualization, simulation, and sense-making features enhance understanding of tradeoffs, innovation and decision-make. doi.org/10.1177/2399...

Sharing a brief article for which I was interviewed by the NY Times. This is what it looks like when we don't regulate emissions or enforce the laws. It doesn't happen only in Argentina. Let's change the trend.

“There’s a huge, long history of pollution in the rivers of Buenos Aires, and it’s really heartbreaking,” says
@moirazellner.bsky.social commenting on a stream near Buenos Aires turned blood red, likely by industrial chemicals.

Happy to share a new paper, hot off the presses! We developed a way to prioritize levers for change in #participatorymodeling with causal loop diagrams. Our method validated participants' insights, and uncovered new ones that hadn't been considered. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Identifying leverage points for sustainable transitions in urban – rural systems: Application of graph theory to participatory causal loop diagramming
Socio-ecological systems are vital for integrated urban and rural environments. Causal loop diagrams (CLDs) help identify system connections and futur…
