Areas of Interest
I apply the tools of Geography, Economics and Regional Science to address policy relevant questions related to energy, the environment and sustainability. I have a general interest in the processes by which society relies upon and impacts nature to try and determine ways in which those processes may be made more sustainable to improve long term human prosperity and well being. Some of my specific areas of interest include but are not limited to:
-Human-Environment Interaction
-Human Ecology
-Environmental Policy
-Planning and Resource Management
-Climate Change and Climate Change Adaptation/Mitigation
