This site is an experiment in collaboration and community publishing for sustainability science. The community we have in mind is scholars involved in research and teaching about sustainable development. The collaboration is for community development of research and teaching materials via open review, community annotation, and invited commentary, and extending to discussion of community needs and the launching of new projects to meet them. The experiment is to determine whether and how an open source platform can be used to support such collaborations and the publication of their results in flexible forms that provide open access for all. The initial projects, accessed through the tabs located on the banner immediately above this text, are: a dynamic Research Guide to the principal findings of sustainability sciences; tools for Keeping Up with current work in the field; and a selection of Teaching Materials for use in course development (coming soon). Additional projects will be added in the future in response to community interest in pursuing them. Finally, the About tab in the banner leads to material on who we are, why we think this experiment is worth doing, and an invitation to join us in it.
