In this lecture, we review the conceptual dimensions of resilience (latitude, resistance, precariousness, and panarchy) and the adaptive cycles that pass information and influence from systems at one scale to systems at other scales. Ultimately, this lecture is about how to manage resilience in systems. We define terms like adaptability and transformability, and we discuss tradeoffs between resilience and short-term profits as well as different forms of resilience (as in specified/targeted/local resilience and generic/global resilience). We finish with a discussion of three properties that help increase generic resilience – diversity, modularity (connectedness), and tightness of feedbacks.
This lecture is based upon content from Walker and Salt (2006, Chapter 5) and Walker et al. (2004).
