Collaborators have approached us to:
1. Test NatCap’s scenarios tools– E.g. Scenarios Work Package, UK National
Ecosystem Assessment
2. Link InVEST to Tier 3 scenario approaches– E.g Simile (Systems Dynamic Modeling)
3. Help share lessons from scenario applications– E.g S3 in New England, Harvard University
