2. Spatial heterogeneity and biotic interactions : scaling from experiments to natural systems
Sammanfattning : Much of current ecological theory stems from experimental studies. These studies have often been conducted in closed systems, at spatial scales that are much smaller than the systems of interest. LÄS MER
3. Towards a Pluralistic Epistemology: Understanding the Future of Human-Technology Interactions in Shipping
Sammanfattning : The rapid advance of technologies is revolutionizing the way people work and transforming society into a digital world. In the shipping domain, many innovative technical systems have been designed and developed in the past decades, aiming to enable the maritime users to achieve the goal of safety, efficiency and effectiveness.

4. Systems Modeling Approaches to Physical Resource Management : An Industrial Ecology Perspective
Sammanfattning : Many of the present problems that we are facing arise as unanticipated side-effects of our own actions. Moreover, the solutions implemented to solve important problems often create new problems. To avoid unintended consequences, understanding complex systems is essential in devising policy instruments and in improving environmental management. LÄS MER
5. Seabirds as food for thought : An integrative study on seabird ecology and ecosystem services in changing marine systems
Sammanfattning : The importance of the benefits that humans obtain from the oceans is increasingly recognized, along with the rapid decline in marine resources that threatens these benefits. Studying seabirds – top predators in marine ecosystems, can provide insights about multiple pressures and the state of the oceans. LÄS MER
