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.

Putting Resilience to Work: An Interview with Chris Helzer
For our second special guest episode, we talk with The Nature Conservancy’s Chris Helzer! Chris Helzer is the Director of Science for TNC in Nebraska, where he evaluates the nonprofit’s land management and restoration work and communicates the lessons its learned and experiences to other land managers. He is also an avid photographer with two books and his own blog, The Prairie Ecologist. We talk with Chris about prairies, how his work relates to resilience, and how he engages in science communication and outreach.
