Abstract
"Sustainability Research" or "Sustainability Science" has become a common term, one found in the names of research programs, research institutions and specialist journals. But just like the term "sustainability" itself, "sustainability research" is not clearly defined. One finds included under it activities as diverse as, among others, investigating arctic ice cores for understanding climate change and devising concepts for sustainable municipal public transportation and traffic systems.
