I am the founder and principal investigator of the Socio-Ecological Change Research (SECR) Lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We investigate different aspects of sustainability, agriculture, inequality, water, disasters, adaptation, crisis, and environmental conservation. Through partnerships with community organizations, we tackle problems in a multitude of fields ranging from food insecurity to environmental learning.
