Abstract
In 1998, in the journal Science, Jane Lubchenco called for a response to an emergent “century of the environment.”1 In response to the changing world, where human beings were now recast as an additional force of nature, she called for a new social contract for science, one that reflected the broadness of the Environment as a topic. Lubchenco identified the need for research across all disciplines in order to provide the requisite knowledge base that could inform policy and management decisions and reflect an increasingly complex world.
