(2020) PhD Candidate, Integrative Conservation and Anthropology (ICON), UGA 2013 MA Anthropology, Colorado State University 2010 BS Environmental Studies/ BA Biology, Elon University Focus My research focuses on human interaction with the environment, especially concerning natural resource use in the face of disasters and changing environments. The methods and theory I apply in my work come from training across multiple disciplines and a growing consensus in literature, policy, and practice: complex issues at the human-environmental nexus require integrative approaches. I conducted most of my work over the past 10 years in Haiti and the circum-Caribbean. Supported by a US NSEP Boren Fellowship, my year-long fieldwork in Haiti’s Southern Peninsula explored the influence of hurricanes and droughts on rural livelihoods and tree use. My most recent work finds me in the mountains of the United States, studying Wild and Scenic River policy and management approaches to reduce inter-user conflict. Methods: Remote sensing, agent-based modelling, land use/land cover change analysis, focus groups, interviews, surveys Recent Publications: King, E. G., Nelson, D. R., & McGreevy, J. R. (2019).
