Scientists continue to debate over the best use of ecological resilience theory. Some scientists think the theory is most useful as a framework or way of thinking about how the concepts we have discussed on this show work within social-ecological systems. Other scientists propose that ecological resilience should be described as a measurable property that can be quantified, compared, and used to make predictions about a system’s resilience in the future. In this episode, we talk about the second proposition. We describe the challenges to quantifying ecological resilience and discuss a case study that highlights the potential benefits of using ecological resilience as a property.

Advancing Resilience and Developing Panarchy Theory: An Interview with Dr. Craig Allen
This episode we talk with Dr. Craig Allen, a professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the director for UNL’s new Center for Resilience in Agricultural Working Landscapes. Dr. Allen has extensive experience in the ecological resilience field, including working with C.S. Holling and other scientists to first develop panarchy theory. We discuss Dr. Allen’s thoughts on resilience theory, panarchy theory (including the new Panarchy book), and his goals for the new Center for Resilience.
