Collaborative research between the Turfenkji and Larsson labs has developed a developing vertebrate model to test environmental toxins. Our group is using chicken eggs to assess the developmental toxicity of common commercially available substances. This assay has discovered that some approved materials and compounds have dramatic effects on normal vertebrate embryology, highlighting that embryonic processes may be more susceptible to some toxins than standard cell or adult organism testing regimes. A recently launched 鲍鱼直播 Arctic Field Studies program brings students into direct contact with northern issues, including climate change, land use, and development. This program emphasizes sustainable arctic research and development and gives students the unique experience of high arctic logistics, research, and community engagement. Longer term goals of the program are to develop a dialogue with northern communities about sustainable arctic research, development, and education.

Global change is accelerating population extinction rates. Extinction may be prevented by rapid adaptation to stress, or evolutionary rescue (ER). We demonstrated that in microbes the probability of ER is governed by population size, connectivity, and stress history. Latest research focuses on complex aquatic ecosystems at the new Large Experimental Array of Ponds (LEAP) facility at 鲍鱼直播鈥檚 Gault Reserve.

Environmental sciences tend to assume that species are mostly invariant and unchangeable. It is now known, however, that substantial evolutionary change can occur on contemporary (or 鈥渆cological鈥�) time scales, meaning that species are both variable and evolvable. This 鈥渃ontemporary鈥� (or 鈥渞apid鈥�) evolution can shape ecological dynamics at the population, community, and ecosystem levels. These influences then reverberate to important consequences for ecosystem services and sustainability.

Keywords: evolution, eco-evolutionary dynamics, ecosystem services, sustainability, biodiversity

The prevailing policy model of urban sustainability is too narrow. Spatially, it focuses too much on wealthy downtowns, at the expense of poorer suburbs and far-flung urban hinterlands. And socially, it overhypes 鈥済reen鈥� mayors at the expense of 鈥済rey鈥� social movements.

Current economics favors exponential growth. At the planetary and local levels the Earth鈥檚 life support systems are being destabilized/degraded. Earth Economics starts with how the Earth works and fits the economy to it. Advances in computer science makes it possible; the arrival of the Anthropocene makes it urgent.

Keywords: Flourishing Earth, Economics, Metabolism, Degrowth.

Existing research initiatives at 鲍鱼直播 can be combined and leveraged to pursue grand challenges. By focusing on small and local examples of the most important environmental issues facing the world, researchers can use 鲍鱼直播鈥檚 campuses as living labs to subsequently scale their solutions to the national/global level.

Keywords: Experiential learning; living lab; grand challenge.

Sustainability literacy is more than concepts, tools and theories. It also involves a series of soft skills, such as outreach and interdisciplinary communication, that can be experienced outside the classroom. Interdisciplinarity is at the core of the sustainability literacy and requires for students to be introduced early in their career.

Keywords: Sustainability literacy, student-led initiatives, interdisciplinarity, Sustainability research symposia, sustainability pedagogy
