GRADUATE STUDENTS

My department at New York University runs a PhD program in Environmental Studies. Applications via the NYU website open in September. If you have questions, please sign up for the mailing list and/or reference the FAQ section of the program website – I do not have the capacity to respond to your email.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Broadly, students and post-docs who work with me answer questions about land use, with a particular focus on governance of tropical crop commodities. We are an interdisciplinary group, applying methods and theories from geography, remote sensing, economics, biogeochemistry, ecology, political ecology, and other related disciplines. We use tools ranging from land cover change modeling to ecological field surveys to semi-structured interviews. Thus, individuals who have experience in one or more of these disciplines, an open and flexible approach to science, field experience in terrestrial tropical environments, and/or fluency in languages beyond English are particularly well-suited for the group.
