References: Benchmark Papers

These references were identified as benchmark papers in our targeted literature review. They are organised into the 18 resilience fields as per the review process. This list, along with the survey literature, was consulted by the Project Lead Team and the Editorial Board during the development of the nine Resilience Science Must-Knows to inform thinking, provoke discussion, and provide conceptual grounding. Note: specific works that are directly cited in each Must-Know can be found following each Must-Know section in the report, and are not limited to papers from this list.
