CARA - Land Use Primer
(Link)
The CARA (Consortium for Atlantic Regional Assessment)website includes a Land Use Primer that discusses the application of models to predict information about future land use and/or land cover.

The Village Project
(Link)
The Village Project helps archaeologists understand the factors influencing settlement patterns of small-scale agrarian peoples by using agent-based computer modeling to investigate where prehistoric people of the American Southwest would have situated their households based on both the natural and social environments in which they lived.

Agent-based Simulation of Adaptation in Africa
(Link)
Funded by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, this project aims to provide an understanding of social responses to climate from seasonal to century timescales using an agent-based modeling approach.

Renewable Energy Initiative - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
(Link)
This project examines the feasibility, economics and environmental implications of alternative energy sources in Illinois, particularly, wind, biomass and biowaste, and builds on dynamic games and agent-based modeling approaches developed for applications in economic and environmental management to provide a tool for decision-making in multi-actor environments.

Carnegie Mellon Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment
(Link)
This site allows you to estimate the overall environmental impacts from producing a certain dollar amount of any of 500 commodities or services in the United States. It will provide rough guidance on the relative impacts of different types of products, materials, services, or industries with respect to resource use and emissions throughout the U.S.

Global Warming Interactive
(Link)
A dynamic model of global climate change that captures current thinking on the carbon cycle and fossil fuels. It produces estimates of the CO2 emissions in one or more countries over a period of 100 years. The model also takes into account social and economic variables such as development of alternative energy sources, taxes on carbon production, unemployment levels, and even public opinion.
