Complex systems
Complex systems

The natural world is complex, and so it is not surprising that we want to view nature through this lens. But things are also becoming ever more complex because of the increasing influence of human systems on the environment. These effects now reach so far into nature it is becoming difficult to see where one ends and the other begins, creating hybrid systems of systems. And as society becomes ever more complex, so do the tools we have available to us to handle the complexity that we are creating. Data science has become central to this process of understanding and managing complexity. Our research aims to advance approaches for coupling models, capturing interdependencies and feedbacks, and exploring systemic solutions to environmental change.
