Research - Environment and Sustainability Institute. The complex problems of environmental change we face are so diverse and deep-seated that they require the collaborative, ground-breaking kind of approach we’re pioneering at the Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI). This part of the site shows how we’re finding creative solutions to these problems through world-class, interdisciplinary research; under the four case studies below is a changing selection of some our current projects. Tracking the movements of basking sharks to help conserve their populations and maintain healthy marine ecosystems. Using bacteria both to create value from recovered metals and to help clean up areas blighted by mining wastes. Understanding the decline of key pollinators, and trying to predict their distribution and survival in agricultural landscapes.
Creating an international, inter-university network of research teams to examine the dynamics of collective action and protest. Resilience | Katrinabrown.org. Resilience, Vulnerability and Development This strand of my research explores how resilience ideas – which provide insights into the dynamics of change and responses to multiple stresses and shocks in both ecological and social dimensions – can be applied to understanding environmental change and international development. Resilience is extremely popular in current policy and public discourses related to change, risk and uncertainty, and a sense of cascading crises. Yet resilience has quite specific meanings in different scientific fields, describing how individuals, systems and materials respond to shocks and disturbance. I explore these plural meanings – across disciplines, policy and by different publics in a range of developed and developing country contexts.
My work aims to provide a social-science informed analysis of resilience and its applications. I have worked on the following aspects of resilience: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. La Résilience urbaine : un nouveau concept opérationnel vecteur de durabilité urbaine ? 1L’année 2011 atteint déjà des records en matière de coûts liés aux catastrophes naturelles (Catnat.net, 2011). Chaque année, les rapports des réassureurs alertent quant à l’augmentation des montants indemnisés et les médias passent d’une catastrophe à une autre, présentant des images chocs, des témoignages bouleversants, sans jamais se pencher plus précisément sur les causes profondes, les conséquences à long terme, la reconstruction et les conditions de retour à la vie normale pour les populations touchées.
Or si les dommages augmentent, c’est notamment parce que les enjeux (logements, activités, infrastructures, équipements) sont de plus en plus nombreux dans les zones d’aléas, comme l’atteste entre autres la forte urbanisation des zones inondables (Faytre, 2010; Scarwell et Laganier, 2004; Thouret et Leone, 2003). 1 “The unfocussed aspirations for sustainability are captured in the notion of resilience – the abil (...)
