At the October Café, postdoctoral scholar Kristin Wilson will share her experience modelling Antarctic governance as a social-ecological system. She will briefly present the central problem of her doctoral work and initial conceptualisations in order to open a practical discussion on how challenges posed by social-ecological systems can be approached using perspectives and tools from complexity science.
Read more about the Te Pūnaha Matatini project she was involved with on human activity in the McMurdo Dry Valleys here.
