What The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center makes

Topics socio-environmental, sustainability, climate-change, ecosystems, collaboration

The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) is dedicated to solving society's most challenging and complex environmental problems. We foster collaboration amongst scholars from a diverse array of the natural and social sciences (such as ecology, public health, and political science), as well as stakeholders that include resource managers, policy makers, and community members. Socio-environmental synthesis is a research approach that accelerates the production of knowledge about the complex interactions between human and natural systems. It may result in new data products—particularly ones that address questions in new spatial or temporal contexts or scales—but may also involve evaluating textual or oral arguments, interpreting evidence, developing new applications or models, or identifying novel areas of study.
