International Network of Research on Coupled Human and Natural Systems

CHANS-Net: International Network of Research on Coupled Human and Natural Systems facilitates communication and collaboration among scholars from around the world who are interested in coupled human and natural systems (e.g., coupled human-environment systems, social-ecological systems, ecological-economic systems, population-environment systems) and who strive to find sustainable solutions that both benefit the environment and enable people to thrive.

CHANS-Net is sponsored by the Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems program of the National Science Foundation, with coordination provided by the Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability at Michigan State University.
