We are involved in investigating ecological and social factors the influence the dynamic relationship between people and the environment.
We are especially interested in how people respond to environmental and climatic variability, how their activities through time and across space influence large-scale patterning in biodiversity, and theoretical approaches for explaining why human behavior has particular environmental effects. In other words: effects of environment on people, effects of people on environment, and explaining the relationship between the two.
