I research the use of social strategies— such as education, communications, and social marketing— by non-governmental organizations to engage individuals and communities in decision-making related to natural resource management. I also work in the area of visitor studies and environmental education program evaluation in environmental education centers, parks, natural history museums, zoos, and aquariums.

Department of Environmental Earth System Science
My research centers on how human activities alter the composition and functioning of ecosystems at regional scales. I combine field work, airborne and satellite mapping, and computer simulation modeling to understand the response of ecosystems to land use and climate change.
Shilajeet (Banny) Banerjee, Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering
