· Specialization: Natural Resource & Environmental Economics
· Overview
Focus on coupled natural and human systems such as ecological and economic effectiveness of land conservation, land-use planning on rural-urban interface, valuation of green space for eco-friendly urbanization, management of urban sprawl, valuation of national forest visits, and relationships between land-use and climate changes.
· Research Focus
Land conservation strategies for the protection of ecosystem services, e.g., exploring optimal spatial and temporal targeting of payments for forest-based ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration and biodiversity.
· Research Questions
How can we promote the sustainability of agricultural and forest lands by encouraging policymakers to incorporate multiple uncertainties that affect both conservation benefits and costs when designing conservation subsidy programs?
