About the Lab

 We study human-nature interactions, with a focus on understanding human behaviors toward nature, and the consequences of these behaviors for fish and wildlife conservation and human well-being. Our lab is part of the  Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, the Global Change Center, and the Center for Emerging, Zoonotic, and Arthropod-borne Pathogens at Virginia Tech.
