Social, ecological, and technological systems can be brought together to improve sensemaking but need to move beyond traditional systems thinking approaches to advising understanding and decision-making within and for entangled SETS. This is represented as a helix of intertwined, dynamic social-ecological, technological systems (SETS) where blue lines are ongoing efforts to make sense of complexity as it evolves and responds to itself and outside drivers and disturbances. SETS helix adapted from2.
