How interesting, what are TK/TD models and what are SYBERAC case studies?

Since a decade, I work with ecosystem services but have never heard this before!

🦇 On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we’re highlighting our Case Study 2: tracking chemical risks that move from water to land.
Traditional assessments often miss this link. SYBERAC is building a systems-based approach to catch it.
