Socio-Ecological Informatics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses information to uncover the connections between ecosystems and society.
AboutAbout the lab
Using information to uncover how ecosystems and society are related.
The Socio-Ecological Informatics Lab studies how ecosystems and society are formed and how they interact with each other.
Without limiting itself to particular methods or study organisms, the lab collects diverse information and uses data analysis to examine how biodiversity and cultural diversity change over time and space.
The lab also works on biodiversity monitoring using environmental DNA (DNA derived from organisms and floating in water), as well as surveys of the connections between giant trees and people and of people's values toward nature.
Key terms
- Environmental DNA (eDNA)
- DNA derived from organisms that floats in water. It is used for biodiversity monitoring.
- Biodiversity index
- A yardstick that expresses biodiversity numerically. This lab quantitatively evaluates changes in species composition over time.
ResearchResearch themes
Humans live their daily lives within two systems, ecosystems and society, but much remains unknown about how these two systems are formed and maintained and how they act on each other. The lab focuses on spatiotemporal change patterns in biodiversity and cultural diversity, and analyzes the collected information to understand the driving processes of ecosystems and society and the interactions between them.
