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.

Tying Spatial Imaging, Education, and History into Resilience: An Interview with Dr. Dan Uden
On this episode, we interview Dr. Dan Uden of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln School of Natural Resources and Department of Agronomy and Horticulture! We talk with Dr. Uden about his research, which brings together spatial imaging and resilience concepts. We also discuss his experiences teaching resilience concepts in graduate and undergraduate classes. Finally, we ask Dr. Uden about one of his published papers linking Great Plains history and resilience concepts.
