The Earth as an Engineering System: Addressing Sustainability through Science, Technology and Policy [PDF]
, 2012 We combine insights from the two emerging fields of engineering systems and sustainability science to develop an analytical approach for understanding and managing coupled natural and human systems. The Earth system is characterized with reference to the

State-level variation drives wolf management in the northwestern United States
Environmental Research: EcologyRecovered and recovering carnivore populations in Europe and North America can pose risks to some human livelihoods like livestock ranching. These risks can motivate wildlife managers to lethally remove carnivores—decisions that are often controversial ...

Reflooding the coupled human and natural system of the Waza-Logone Floodplain, Cameroon
Frontiers in Conservation ScienceThe rewilding framework is used to guide the restoration of ecological processes in natural systems, but the framework can also be used in the restoration of social and ecological processes in coupled human and natural systems.

On production and abatement time scales in sustainable development. Can we loosen the sustainability screw ? [PDF]
In this paper we carry out a preliminary exploration of a time scales' conjecture, which postulates that "reasonable" notions of sustainability must include a suitable synchronisation of time scales of both the processes of human development and those of
