Three Memorable Points • Resiliency • Adaptability • Panarchy
Engineered Resilience Vs. Ecological Resilience comiteresources.net b.wagner
Resilience Four aspects: Latitude: the maximum amount a system can be changed before losing it ability to recover Resistance: the ease or difficulty of changing the system; how “resistant” it is to being changed Precariousness: how close the current state of the system is to the limit Panarchy: how the above three attributes are influenced by the state of dynamics of the system at scales above and below the scale of interest Bayouwoman.com b.wagner
Adaptability Actors can: Move the current state of a system away from or closer to the threshold Make the threshold more difficult or easier to reach Manage cross-scale interaction to avoid or generate loss of resilience 4. Managing for single state equilibrium can be a paradox mauricekerrigan.com
