Abstract
This proposal seeks support to prepare materials and conduct a short course at NCEAS, on the subject "Theories for Sustainable Futures: Understanding and Managing for Resilience in Human-Ecological Systems". We propose to hold two meetings at NCEAS and locate a post-doctoral position there to help develop models and interactive material for the world wide web. The first workshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars (ecologists, mathematicians, economists, sociologists and political scientists) to produce a book and a set of Internet-web products. Those products will serve as the set of materials for the second NCEAS activity; a course on understanding and managing ecological systems that will be designed for a multi-disciplinary group of graduate students, and advanced resource practitioners.
