A sustainable industry or community sits within a dynamic environment, society and economy which are faced with the need to rapidly adapt to accelerating climate change. Managing new and developing risks in this context of great uncertainty about change requires an understanding of future implications for social-ecological systems, including the flows of services and benefits nature will generate now and into the future. The Valuing Sustainability Future Science Platform (VS FSP) is a substantial new 5-year investment in cutting edge research by CSIRO that aims to co-produce future pathways, measures and indicators to underpin sustainable innovation and prosperity for current and future industries and communities.
Within the VS FSP, the ‘Future States’ project aims to address this challenge by developing methods, tools and capability to identify, define, track and quantify the future states, transitions, tipping points and flows of services and benefits from social-ecological systems under different sustainability pathways. Within this team the Postdoctoral Fellow will explore dynamic state and transition simulation modelling to describe current and project plausible future terrestrial ecosystem states, that account for diverse and interacting social, ecological and economic drivers.
