Telecoupling

• SCIENCE CHINA - LIFE SCIENCES -- Conservation planning beyond giant pandas: the need for an innovative telecoupling framework

  Published on December 27, 2016
  A develop of innovative systems approaches that improve human well being while sustaining wildlife populations and their habitats.

• ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY -- New road for telecoupling global prosperity and ecological sustainability

  Published on November 4, 2016
  We apply the integrated framework of telecoupling and propose to enhance infrastructure connection, transboundary actions, scientific and cultural exchanges, and institutional innovations within the Belt and Road region.

• Urban water sustainability: framework and application

  Published on October 12, 2016
  Urban areas such as megacities (those with populations greater than 10 million) are hotspots of global water use and thus face intense water management challenges

• ENERGY -- Energy sustainability under the framework of telecoupling

  Published on April 5, 2016
  Telecouplings widely exist in energy systems with various forms and link energy sustainability of different countries closely, so we proposed some methods for energy sustainability analysis under the framework of telecoupling.

• WATER INTERNATIONAL -- Telecoupling in urban water systems: an examination of Beijing's imported water supply

  Published on December 3, 2015
  We apply the new telecoupling framework to the water-stressed megacity of Beijing’s imported water supply.

• ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Multiple telecouplings and their complex interrelationships

  Published on October 1, 2015
  Even a protected area like the Wolong Nature Reserve for giant pandas in southwest China has multiple telecoupling processes with the rest of the world.

• ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Synthesis of human-nature feedbacks

  Published on September 11, 2015
  In an introduction to the special feature, we provide an overview of CHANS feedbacks. In addition, we synthesize key CHANS feedbacks that emerged in the papers across agricultural, forest, and urban landscapes.

• SCIENCE -- Systems integration for global sustainability

  Published on February 27, 2015
  Systems integration—holistic approaches to integrating various components of coupled human and natural systems—is critical to understand socioeconomic and environmental interconnections and to create sustainability solutions.

• RETHINKING GLOBAL LAND USE IN AN URBAN ERA - Significance of Telecoupling for Exploration of Land-Use Change

  Published on April 22, 2014
  Land systems are increasingly infl uenced by distal connections: the externalities and unintended consequences of social and ecological processes which occur in distant locations

• RETHINKING GLOBAL LAND USE (BOOK CHAPTER) -- Applications of the Telecoupling Framework to Land-Change Science

  Published on April 22, 2014
  Over the past two decades, progress has been made in understanding and predicting land-use change in specifi c places, using frameworks such as coupled human-natural systems, coupled human-environmental systems, or coupled social-ecological systems

• ASIA AND THE PACIFIC POLICY STUDIES -- Forest Sustainability in China and Implications for a Telecoupled World

  Published on December 19, 2013
  Using the framework of telecoupling we found that China’s forest cover increase is affected by multiple telecoupling processes and their interactions with each other and with other factors.

• ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Framing Sustainability in a Telecoupled World

  Published on June 21, 2013
  We propose an integrated framework based on telecoupling, an umbrella concept that refers to socioeconomic and environmental interactions over distances.

• SUSTAINABILITY -- Global marine fishing across space and time

  We use the metacoupling framework to illustrate how fisheries catches were locally, regionally, and globally interconnected in 1950–2014.
