Faculty Profiles
Nicole Ardoin, Assistant Professor, School of Education; Center Fellow, Woods Institute for the Environment
Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment & Resources
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.
Kevin Arrigo, Professor, Gerhard Casper University Fellow in Undergraduate Education
Department of Environmental Earth System Science
Investigates role of ocean biology in gobal carbon and nutrient cycles.
Gregory Asner, Professor (by Courtesy), EESS; Carnegie Institution, Global Ecology
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.
Barbara Block, Charles and Elizabeth Prothro Professor in Marine Sciences, Biology; Senior Fellow, Woods Institute for the Environment
Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment & Resources
My research questions how large pelagic fishes utilize the open ocean environment, focusing on understanding the evolution of endothermic strategies in tunas, billfishes, and sharks. In the Tuna Research and Conservation Center, my colleagues at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and I employ new techniques in wildlife telemetry and molecular genetics to examine directly the short and long-term movement patterns, stock structure, and behavior of tunas and billfishes.
Carol Boggs, Professor (Teaching), Biology
Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment & Resources
Margaret (Meg) Caldwell, Senior Lecturer, Law
Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment & Resources
My scholarship focuses on the environmental effects of local land use decisions; the use of science in environmental and marine resource policy development and implementation; and the development of private and public incentives for natural resource conservation.
Karen Casciotti, Assistant Professor
Department of Environmental Earth System Science
Assistant Professor in EESS, focus on marine chemistry and biogeochemistry.
Gretchen Daily, Professor, Biology
Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment & Resources
I am developing the field of countryside biogeography to forecast changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services in human-dominated landscapes, as well as to create a scientific framework for characterizing ecosystem services and incorporating their value into decision-making.
Jennifer (Jenna) Davis, Assistant Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering; Center Fellow, Woods Institute for the Environment
Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment & Resources
I research the intersection of economic development and environmental protection, with particular emphasis on cost-effective and sustainable water supply and sanitation (W&S) service delivery in developing countries.
