MISSION
The
mission of our lab is to lead and encourage the development of
interdisciplinary research and an integrally-informed understanding
of social-ecological systems at the watershed level; to transfer
this knowledge to stakeholders; and to provide a focus for collaboration
among partners, sponsors and clients.
OBJECTIVES
Our
goal is to explore mechanisms for building adaptive capacity and
sustaining ecosystem services in human-impacted watersheds; to
work with stakeholders - citizens action groups; industry; academia;
state, federal and local governments; and the general public -
in identifying watershed problems and seeking sustainable solutions;
and to generate knowledge that can serve as a resource for human
actors to develop their society and the natural conditions of
their lives.
