Countries of Research Interest
China- but keen to roll out a generic methodology through developing regions worldwide
Statement of Interest in the Call
The main interest is to further develop and apply a multi-decadal 'evolutionary' approach to understanding and projecting complex socio-ecological systems. A newly funded Framework Programme project is developing a generic methodology that will be applicable to all regions where there are detailed records (documents, instruments, palaeoenvironmental) of past socio-ecological processes.
