Abstract
With the growing recognition of coupled human and natural systems (CHANS), modeling CHANS with two-way feedbacks has become a frontier research area and a critical tool to achieve sustainability. The challenges in CHANS modeling and opportunities to advance its science and application to promote the sustainability of CHANS are discussed in this paper.
