C.S. Holling Father of Resilience Theory Slide 2 Awards and
Honors Austrian Cross for Science and Art Slide 3 Seven principles
for building resilience in social-ecological systems: 1)Maintain
diversity and redundancy 2)Manage connectivity 3)Manage slow
variables and feed backs 4)Foster complex adaptive systems thinking
5)Encourage learning 6)Broaden participation 7)Promote polycentric
governance systems Slide 4 Ecology and Society An electron journal

Theoretical Framework Slide 9 Behaviors of a system Slide 10 The
Basin of Attraction Slide 11 Resilience Four aspects: 1.Latitude:
the maximum amount a system can be changed before losing it ability
to recover 2.Resistance: the ease or difficulty of changing the
system; how resistant it is to being changed 3.Precariousness: how
close the current state of the system is to the limit 4.Panarchy:
how the above three attributes are influenced by the state of
dynamics of the system at scales above and below the scale of
interest Bayouwoman.com b.wagner Slide 12 Adaptability Actors can:
1.Move the current state of a system away from or closer to the
threshold 2.Make the threshold more difficult or easier to reach
3.Manage cross-scale interaction to avoid or generate loss of
resilience 4. Managing for single state equilibrium can be a
paradox mauricekerrigan.com Slide 13 Slide 14 How Ecosystems
