Analysis Framework I: Sensory-Motor Loop Human activities exert pressures, e.g burning fossil fuels, that alter the state of environment. The impaired environmental state, elicits responses, such as regulations in a feedback loop Monitoring collects multi-sensory data from surface and satellite platforms and Monitoring (Sensing) AssessmentCompare to Goals, Plan ReductionsTrack Progress Set Goals Controls (Actions) Assessment turns data into knowledge for decision making & actions through analysis (science & eng.) All living organisms use this type of sensory-motor feedback to maintain their existence. Monitoring, Assessment, Control are the necessary steps for sustainable development.
