Podcast Overview

Ever wondered what people mean when they use the term “resilience?” This podcast breaks down what resilience is and explores the different concepts related to resilience. We focus in particular on ecological resilience, a definition of resilience that originated in ecology but has broader applications. Each episode, ecology graduate students Conor Barnes and Julie Fowler use scientific papers, real world events, and interviews with experts to make resilience concepts accessible to a wide audience and explain why they matter to science, policy, and everyday life.

Questions for Quantifying Resilience

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.

Advancing Resilience and Developing Panarchy Theory: An Interview with Dr. Craig Allen

This episode we talk with Dr. Craig Allen, a professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the director for UNL’s new Center for Resilience in Agricultural Working Landscapes. Dr. Allen has extensive experience in the ecological resilience field, including working with C.S. Holling and other scientists to first develop panarchy theory. We discuss Dr. Allen’s thoughts on resilience theory, panarchy theory (including the new Panarchy book), and his goals for the new Center for Resilience.

Episode 8: Diving Into Discontinuity Theory

One way to look at the structures and processes of a social-ecological system is through “discontinuities,” which are gaps between clusters of system components. Discontinuity theory identifies patterns at different spatial and temporal scales in a system, which can be used to match system components to the resources and the scale(s) those components are operating at, with research and management implications. We take a look at discontinuity theory through a study of animal sizes in ecosystems, which is how many of the ideas about discontinuities first arose in the scientific literature. We also examine proposed management applications for discontinuity theory.
