    Ricerca e analisi, metodologie e indicatori per uno sviluppo sostenibile

The research activity of Ecodynamics group is aimed at the relationships between environmental and anthropogenic systems both at the theoretical level by investigating the scientific basis of sustainability, and at the technical-scientific level by developing monitoring indicators and environmental sustainability assessments.

Ecodynamics Group, founded by Professor Enzo Tiezzi, is today composed by a team of multidisciplinary researchers of the Department of Physical, Earth and Environmental Sciences (DSFTA) of the University of Siena.

The group is nowadays directed by Prof. Nadia Marchettini and Prof. Simone Bastianoni.

What Ecodynamics means

The term "ecodynamics" is a neologism derived from the fusion of two concepts:
Eco- from the Greek: οἶκος, oikos, "home" or even "environment" which is the root for both ecology and economics, two disciplines believed to be in antithesis and yet are closely related;
Dynamics (specifically "thermodynamics"), a section of physics that studies and deals with transformations induced by heat and work and from which one cannot ignore.
It is not possible to grow infinitely in a finite world.
