Maja Schlüter

STOCKHOLM RESILIENCE CENTRE, STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY

Maja Schlüter is a researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre. Her research focusses on social-ecological interactions and mechanisms that may explain SES phenomena, such as the collapse of the Baltic Sea cod, the trapped situation of water management in Uzbekistan, the diversity of self-governance forms in Mexican small-scale fisheries, or cooperation in common pool resource management. In collaboration with members of the SES-LINK team and empirical colleagues, she uses mathematical and agent-based modeling to test hypotheses about micro-level causes of observed SES phenomena and to explore consequences of selected human-nature interactions.
