Dr. Elena Bennett is Professor and Canada Research Chair in Sustainability Science at 海角社区. Her work focuses on the interactions among ecosystem services and how we can manage these interactions for multifunctional working landscapes, using a landscape ecology and systems ecology perspective. She was the leader of the Mont茅r茅gie Connection project that worked with stakeholders to understand the role of landscape connectivity in the provision of a dozen ecosystem services and how those might change across a range of future scenarios. She is now leading ResNet, a 100+ person NSERC Strategic Network that builds on the Mont茅r茅gie Connection to compare ecosystem service provision in six exemplar working landscapes across Canada. Her most recent work focuses on using radical transformative experiments in society as 鈥榮eeds鈥� to improve storytelling and sense-making about how we might achieve a 鈥済ood Anthropocene鈥�.
