Quantifying Resilience in Complex Systems - From Humans to Ecosystems

Explore the concept of resilience across various systems in this seminar by Marten Scheffer from Wageningen University. Delve into methods for quantifying resilience based on observations, including critical slowing down and probabilistic characterization of alternative states. Examine applications in psychology, ecology, earth system science, and other fields. Learn about tipping points, catastrophe theory, and dynamic indicators in complex systems. Discover how to measure resilience experimentally and through natural fluctuations and spatial patterns. Investigate the universality of resilience concepts and their implications for managing systems ranging from human health to climate and social dynamics.
