ECOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE IN KAMCHATKA

Ecological outbreak dynamics and the cusp catastrophe

Many ecological processes exhibit trajectories which can be suitably represented by stable equilibria or smooth limit cycles. However, a third kind of ecological process involves intermittent, abrupt, and drastic changes in densities, here termed 'outbreak dynamics', which require different modelling frameworks. One such framework, the cusp catastrophe, is used here in a modelling study of a pa...

Care in the Time of Catastrophe : Citizenship , Community and the Ecological

Over the last few decades the apparent effects of the ecological unsustainability of current global regimes of production has become more pressing. Recent calculations by the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) indicated that, at current levels of consumption of renewable natural resources, by the year 2050 we will require at least a second whole planet earth to meet global needs. The implication o...
