Integral Ecology Research Center’s Applied Earth and Environmental Science Program is a foundational program in research on landscape-scale influences on abiotic resources, biological communities, and earth processes. Since initiating this research program in 2010, we have expanded our research breadth to include numerous research projects that take a landscape-scale approach to these dynamics, employing soil, water, and environmental sampling, remote sensing, GIS, modeling, mapping, machine learning, and climate change studies, among other applied methodologies. IERC has been continuously working to tease out the complex and dynamic interactions among diverse environmental influences, the landscape, and natural resources through holistic, systems-level analyses that connect patterns across scales. As such, IERC has established a comprehensive research program dedicated to this issue, allowing IERC scientists to collaborate with other researchers, land managers, and agencies to lead the interdisciplinary exploration of these topics.
