This research program is focused on examining communication and democratic processes associated with energy, natural resources and environmental conservation efforts involving scientists, policy-makers, industry and impacted communities.
My research is centered in communication and environmental decision-making. I am interested in natural resources and environmental conservation involving communication, cooperative learning and democratic processes among scientists, policy-makers, industry and impacted communities. My current focus is on energy as it relates to climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies, though my interests extend out to related issues (e.g. wildlife and natural resources management and policy and environmental social movements/campaigns).
