# Resilience Engineering

*Tom Geraghty · Safety & Human Error, Ecological Thinking, Complexity & Systems*

Introduces Resilience Engineering as a field that focuses on how complex adaptive systems cope with surprise. Uses Marquet's USS Santa Fe as a case study in how creating PS conditions — through intent-based leadership and distributed agency — produces resilience as an emergent property.
