Lant, Timothy

Organization(s):

Arizona State University

Dr. Lant builds mathematical and system dynamics models for the Decision Theater, Global Institute of Sustainability, for a variety of topical areas including public health, water and natural resource management, urban planning and innovation systems. He builds models for use as scenario analysis tools and for policy and planning exercises.

Dr. Lant holds a joint appointment as assistant research professor for the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, the Decision Theater and the Decision Center for a Desert City (DCDC) at ASU. Previously, Dr. Lant was a doctoral fellow specializing in long-term policy analysis at the RAND Corporation. Prior to that he worked as a financial analyst in the Healthcare and Biotechnology Investment Banking Division of CIBC World Markets and as an actuary for Actuarial Management Corporation.

Sponsors

National Science Foundation (NSF) - The only federal agency whose mission includes support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, except for medical sciences. We are tasked with keeping the United States at the leading edge of discovery in areas from astronomy to geology to zoology. So, in addition to funding research in the traditional academic areas, the agency also supports "high-risk, high pay-off" ideas, novel collaborations and numerous projects that may seem like science fiction today, but which the public will take for granted tomorrow.

Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability, Michigan State University - A center of excellence that integrates ecology with socioeconomics, demography, and other disciplines for ecological sustainability from local, national, to global scales.

Global Land Project - A joint research project for land systems in the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme and the International Human Dimensions Programme.

About CHANS-Net

Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) are integrated systems in which humans and natural components interact. CHANS research has recently emerged as an exciting and integrative field of cross-disciplinary scientific inquiry, with research projects covering a variety of coupled systems in locations spanning the globe. Although individual projects have generated many important insights, it is essential to systematically transform the field to be more than the sum of its parts and provide broader insights of greater scientific and societal significance than those resulting from individual projects alone. The goal of CHANS-Net is to foster this transformation by facilitating communication and collaboration among members of the CHANS research community.
