          is an interdisciplinary field that aims to apply techniques
          from computer science, information science, operations
          research, applied mathematics, and statistics for balancing
          environmental, economic, and societal needs for sustainable
          development. The main focus is on developing computational and
          mathematical models and methods for decision making concerning
          the management and allocation of resources in order to help
          solve some of the most challenging problems related to
          sustainability. Computational sustainability problems are
          unique in scale, impact, complexity, and richness, often
          involving combinatorial decisions, in a highly dynamic and
          uncertain environment. The research pursued is inherently
          highly interdisciplinary, bringing together computer
          scientists, applied mathematicians, statisticians, biologists,
          environmental scientists, biological and environmental
          engineers, and economists.</span><br>
