"Why are we crossing ecological boundaries that affect Earth’s fundamental
life-supporting capacity? Is it because we don’t have enough information about
how ecosystems respond to change? Or are we unable, even unwilling, to use that
information better?
We have a lot to learn still, but as we show in our research, using current
ecological knowledge more effectively could deliver substantial environmental
gains.
Our work focuses on improving links between research and ecosystem management
to identify key trigger points for action in a framework that joins land,
freshwater and sea ecosystems.
Specifically, we investigate solutions to environmental and societal problems
that stem from the disparities between scientific research, policy and
management responses to environmental issues.
We need managers and policy makers to consider ecological tipping points and
how they can cascade though ecosystems from land into rivers and lakes and,
ultimately, the ocean."
