Kurt Grimm

Kurt Grimm was an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Sciences at the University of British Columbia. From a foundation in Earth systems science and applied ecology, he became specifically interested in the origins of patterning in the real world, and worked on developing a simple unified description of phenomena in the natural world that deliver broad explanatory power and explicit testability. His research interests included self-organizing complexity, environmental and planetary Earth sciences, transformative sustainability learning, and A Unified Description of Life (AUDOL).
