Time and Tide: Modelling the Effects of Landscape Change on Population Support in the Southern North Sea

Stigmergy in comparative settlement choice and palaeoenvironment simulation

“…while the inundated landscape cannot be explored conventionally, pioneering work using seismic reflectance data has provided the first detailed maps of the prehistoric topography and the results have received international recognition as being globally important with respect of our understanding of these enigmatic landscapes but also in respect of our understanding of past and present response to rising sea levels and climate change (http://e-a-a.org/EHP_2013.pdf). Following the publication of these unique datasets from the area of the North Sea (also known as Doggerland), there has been an opportunity for further reconstruction of the landscape, environment, flora, and fauna, through Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and environmental modeling, and occasionally, this has involved the use of interactive virtual environments . More recently agent‐based modeling and simulation have emerged as technologies that might also provide insights into the changing ecology of Doggerland and related landscapes in the Gulf and Asia.…”
