DESCRIPTION:Over the last two decades\, scientific effort has begun to shi
 ft from research for fundamental understanding toward research that suppor
 ts action. Dr. Pamela Matson will discuss how “science to action” has 
 evolved in the context of current global environmental changes and sustain
 ability challenges. While scientists and professional societies have recog
 nized the need for science to help solve pressing societal problems\, thei
 r engagement in problem solving has had only limited success\, especially 
 at the global scale.  Drawing on her own research and that of others\,  Dr
 . Matson will discuss some crucial characteristics of research that effect
 ively  links “science to action\,”  and practices for extending soluti
 ons to scales that matter.\n\n*Professor Matson is the Tellus Mater Distin
