Stanford Initiative on the Environment and Sustainability

This is a link to an ambitious project from Stanford University seeking to understand the environmental ramifications of sustainability. The site is divided into four sections dealing with energy and the climate, land use, oceans and fresh water. I dont' know whether they will produce any useful answers to those powerful questions but if the following excerpt from the site is any indication, they are certainly heading in the right direction.
Researchers and scholars at Stanford are asking the key question: Can we adequately meet current human needs while protecting and restoring planetary life support systems for the welfare of people today and generations yet to come?
