Current research: 

My group and I look at how people meet their needs through use of ecosystems and natural resources, the role this plays in developing regions, and the institutions we create to mediate these relationships. Our research methods draw from environmental and development economics, ecology, development geography, and geographic information sciences 鈥 collectively taking a land system science approach to answer policy-relevant questions.

  • : Sustainable & Resilient Ecosystems for Canada
  • Co-benefits of Natural Climate Solutions
  • Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities
