Supervision
I am interested in supervising research on sustainable development, including the role of governance processes and institutions.
Work addressing governance in the context of global environmental change (climate change and biodiversity loss) is particularly welcome. This can include both a European Union focus as well as the wider global context.
The study of sustainable development as it relates to understanding the interrelationship between ecological systems and social processes is of direct interest, including the study of the value attributed to nature in environmental management through restoration policy and initiatives.
