• Environmental behavior and decision making
• Climate change adaptation
• Social learning
• Social networks

I study what people do and why in environmental contexts. In particular, my research examines how beliefs about climate change constrain or promote resilience to a changing environment. I develop community-based solutions using participatory approaches that build climate resiliency.

I am interested in collaborating with academic and community partners, using participatory approaches to build resilience to environmental change.
