Joan Iverson Nassauer: A Look at Her Career

琼·艾弗森·纳索尔以她在生态设计领域的科研和创新而著称。她将社会科学和设计创新融合在一起,并将设计引入景观生态学。她最出名的是"关怀暗示"理论,强调"混乱的生态系统"需要经由人类意图的清晰记号来框限,才能长久地在人类活动中得以持续。她的工作是跨学科的,有赖于许多学科、政府机关以及地方居民的共同协作。她将统计和绘画当成不同但都很重要的科研工具。棕地、绿色基础设施、废弃地以及流域规划设计都是她工作的重要部分。目前她正在研究密歇根州底特律市废弃地绿色基础设施,郊区景观的碳储存潜力,以及能够降低环境影响的新型农业形式和景观格局。这些项目都将有助于气候变化的适应或减缓。

Joan Iverson Nassauer is known for her research and innovations in the field of ecological design. She has melded social science with design innovation and brought design into the science of landscape ecology. She is most well-known for her theory of ＂cues to care＂ which emphasizes that ＂messy ecosystems＂ need to be framed by clear signs of human intention in order to be sustained by human activities over the long term. Her work is transdisciplinary, depending on collaborators from many disciplines, government agencies, and local residents. She uses statistics and drawing as different important research tools. Brownfields, green infrastructure, vacant land, and watershed design and planning have been important parts of her work. Currently she is working on green infrastructure for vacant land in Detroit, MI; carbon storage potential of suburban landscapes; and new agricultural enterprises and landscape patterns to reduce environmental impacts. Each of these projects will contribute to climate change adaptation or mitigation.
