报告简介:
Grassland ecosystem dynamics are outcomes of complex interactions among humans, their institutions, and the environment and are emblematic of the environmental challenges that Sustainability Science studies seeks to solve. The studies of human adaptations and institutional interventions involve data such as household surveys, socioeconomic statistic sand policy assessments at multi-levels of administrative units. The exploration of environmental challenges examines field samples at unique sites, over remote sensing scenes, and along transects reflecting both natural and human-made gradients. Grassland degradation is affected by multi-scalar coupled natural and human interactions. It has long been a great challenge how to integrate socio-economic, land-cover-land-use, and environmental data for applied analyses leading to sustainability planning.
Data mining and analysis supporting sustainability planning requires (1) establishing “matches and feedbacks” among data crossing the boundary between human and natural dimensions as well as multiple scales, and (2) adopting quantitative analytical methods to investigate the matches and feedbacks across dimensions and scales. This presentation will evaluate current advances in conceptual and technical approaches of data assimilation and analysis in the context of sustainability studies. Case studies from US NASA Mongolia Plateau Project will be demonstrated to illustrate these newest innovative approaches, such as ecosystem services, dynamic landscape patterns, panel data modeling, hierarchical regression modeling, and structured equation modeling.
