| Zusammenfassung |
| The impact of human activity on the biophysical world raises myriad
challenges for sustaining Earth system processes, ecosystem
services, and human societies. To engage in meaningful
problem-solving in the hydrosphere, this necessitates an approach
that recognizes the coupled nature of human and biophysical systems.
We argue that, in order to produce the next generation of
problem-solvers, hydrology education should ensure that students
develop an appreciation and working familiarity in the context of
coupled human-environmental systems. We illustrate how
undergraduate-level hydrology assignments can extend beyond rote
computations or basic throughput scenarios to include consideration
of the dynamic interactions with social and other biophysical
dimensions of complex adaptive systems. Such an educational approach
not only builds appropriate breadth of dynamic understanding, but
can also empower students toward assuming influential and effective
roles in solving sustainability challenges. |
