SNR faculty members have received major federal grants in recent years for the refinement and application of adaptive management.  Recent published papers deal with discontinuities in ecosystems, cross-scale resilience in ecosystems, predictive management, planning for robust reserve networks, and gap analysis.  SNR has strengths in statistical and modeling approaches to uncertainty and also partners with diverse agencies for education, research and natural resource management.  Furthermore, the applied ecology group has expertise in resilience theory, and has developed new Adaptive Management specializations in its M.S. and Ph.D. programs.  A new NSF IGERT grant in adaptive management grant dealing with over-appropriated watersheds on the Great Plains has recently been awarded to SNR faculty and collaborators.
