Research

Our lab conducts research, outreach, and extension work broadly organized around three major themes. Click on the pictures below to learn more!

Governance

How does the design and implementation of governance institutions and policies – the rules and norms that organize our interactions with one another – affect management outcomes?

Adaptive Management

To respond to challenges ranging from annual drought to large scale climate change, resource managers must adapt. How have adaptive responses been designed and implemented and what tools are needed to improve outcomes?

Education and Outreach

Our research efforts are only as impactful as our ability to reach managers, agricultural producers, and others with our results. We have developed a robust outreach efforts to share our results beyond the University.
