Developing a place-based, integrated understanding of global change effects and vulnerabilities . Our goal here is to combine natural and social science perspectives to develop and test common conceptual frameworks and analytic approaches for the integrated regional study of multiple, cumulative, interactive stress effects and multiple time scale responses related to global change. Designing, supporting and managing systems that can better integrate research, assessment and decision-support activities on problems of global change and sustainable development . The program team seeks to contribute to the evolution of strategies for meeting these challenges through an international collaboration among a small set of leading scholars, practitioners and program managers involved in the production, assessment, and application of knowledge relating to global change and sustainable development. These include natural scientists, social scientists and policy analysts as well as individuals from several countries with substantial experience in running or advising research and assessment programs.
