SES is an ___ research group engaged in research that can provide ___ and understanding of complex social-ecological systems in order to improve the scientific basis for ___ development.

___ environmental change is by nature a temporal phenomenon: elements of ___ and human systems respond sequentially as key features of the social, economic, ___ and ecological systems evolve. The trajectory of such a ___ is often difficult to predict because the interaction of a range of elements results in complex behaviour of the ___ as a whole: oscillations, changes of state and ___, and other non-linear responses. These responses determine to some ___ the status of qualities that are perceived to be desirable, such as ‘resilience' and ‘sustainability'. In addition, societal ___ may be governed by cultural and/or economic constraints that lead to ‘maladaptive' responses-or they may allow effective adaptive change.

Improved ___ of real world social-ecological systems is seen by many as one of the major ___ facing management of food supply, ___ and other ecosystem services across the world. Complexity theory – including variants like ___ theory – has pointed to the importance of utilizing mathematical concepts and models to better understand the nonlinear, emergent ___ in such systems that lead to unpredictable changes such as critical transitions. This group’s aim is to take stock of how complexity theory may be applied to the real world situations.

Our societies are an integrated part of the ___ and dependent upon functioning ecosystems. That is why we need to manage ecosystems so that we can handle the future's challenges and maintain our capacity to evolve in a positive way. If we are to achieve our ___ for sustainability, the time to act at ___ is now, given the inertia in the socioeconomic system, and that the adverse effects of climate change and ___ of biodiversity cannot be reversed for centuries or are irreversible (e.g., species loss). Failure to act will impoverish ___ and future generations.
