As Boone & Crockett Professor and Fellows at Texas A&M
University, we conduct research and provide leadership intended to
facilitate sustainable environmental policy. We consider multiple
spatial and temporal scales in our research, teaching and
leadership activities; our projects range in scope from local to
international. We have an active Theory to Practice Program that
includes design and evaluation of best practices for conflict
management and enhancing public participation in the development
and implementation of environmental policy. Research topics include
climate change, community-based conservation, energy, watershed
management, and wildlife conservation.
The courses we teach focus on management and resolution of environmental conflict,
enhancing public
participation in natural resource policy development &
implementation, and wildlife
law & policy.
