A working definition for Integrative Human-Environmental Research

Integrative Human-Environmental Research:

Incorporates socially equitable participation and strives for co-production of knowledge through methods of observation and analysis centering social-ecological systems and human-Earth dynamics. These methods seek to improve the relationship between societies and their environments, with an understanding of the large-scale impacts of industrialized human activity in the Anthropocene which have transformed the natural and climate landscape, investigating how, in turn, the consequences of these transformations return to the global human system.
