Overview
Research group description
We live in a time of unprecedented complexity in how humans interact with the natural world. Now more than ever, maintaining healthy ecosystems and human well-being requires an in-depth understanding of how humans and the environment affect each other.
The multidisciplinary Human-Environment Complexity Lab studies interactions between people and the natural environment through the lens of complex systems science to advance sustainability. Our work emphasizes that social-ecological systems (i.e., humans as part of nature) are more than the sum of their parts - constantly changing and full of surprises.
A key focus of our research currently is advancing safe and successful sustainability transformations in natural resource systems.
We are committed to caring for both ecosystem health and human well-being.
