MATCH-MISMATCH: CHALLENGE AND CREATIVITY IN DEVELOPING AND APPLYING A SOCIAL ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS SCIENCE OF AND FOR RIVERS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES

We offer lessons from nascent efforts in developing and applying a social ecological systems (SES) science of, and for, rivers and their communities. First, a mismatch arises because most ecologists are trained to conceptualize complexity in nature as occurring in a nested hierarchy. In contrast, because social processes like cognition, perception, power dynamics and behaviors can result in information flow and phenomena that transcend hierarchically defined spatio-temporal boundaries, many social scientists consider complexity as better represented by heterarchies, sprawling networks that may encompass hierarchical components but within which relationships across scales are dynamic. Our attempts at creative solutions to this disconnect have included extending heterarchical concepts to SES and cross-disciplinary approaches to environmental perception and response. Second, our empirical SES studies in Idaho reveal a combination of matches and mismatches between ecological character of a river (including potential for its design/restoration) and the values, perceptions and “visions” for the river expressed by the human community, leading us to strategically direct science at the mismatches and to purposefully and creatively engage with our community in co-production of river understanding and visioning.
