My current Ph.D. students are a diverse group from the United States, China, Nepal, Spain, and Finland. They focus on a broad range of topics, including: Why don’t government decisions better integrate sustainable development? How does management of the natural environment impact ecosystem services and resilience? What are the effects of light pollution on ecosystem functioning and services? Can deliberation improve environmental management and decision-making. What is the value of natural capital and ecosystem services? How do we better model and measure sustainable wellbeing? and How do we envision and create a better future?

My former Ph.D. students are a diverse group.  They have taken positions in academia, government, NGO’s, and businesses around the world extending and implementing the research and ideas they pursued during their PhD’s.
