The IIASA Ecology Project: A Status Report [antikvár]

Preface The Ecology Project commenced work in 1973 with the initial and continuing goal of developing a coherent science of ecological management. The products of our research can be divided into three groups: conceptual, applied, and case studies. To give the project focus, we chose to analyze in detail specific régiónál case studies. Each of these examples has all the ingredients of a large class of problems that together comprise the global problems of resource management for food, fiber, energy, and cultural needs of societies. The following report provides an overview of the work of this project through July, 1975, and a summary of our current thinking on future directions and formats of ecological and environmental research at HASA. The major content of the report is comprised of a description of the case studies which have förmed the core of the past two years' efforts.
