My research includes disputes over environmental causation of illness, community response to toxic waste-induced disease, race and class differences in exposure to environmental hazards, and the Jewish cultural experience in the Catskill Mountains resort area. |  | Kathryn DeMaster

Impacts of invasive species on marine communities; impacts of anthropogenic pollutants on the marine environment ; hypoxia and other eutrophication impacts in estuaries, especially Narragansett Bay; characterization of natural resources and physical properties of estuaries using GIS and remote sensing techniques; and restoration of saltmarshes and eelgrass beds in estuaries. |  | Steven Hamburg

My lab group focuses on the effects of disturbance on forest structure and function with particular emphasis on: effects of typhoons on sub tropical forests; effects of forest cutting on Ca biogeochemistry; effects of land-use history on carbon storage; and climate change impacts on temperate forests. I am also involved in supporting the development of long-term ecological research internationally, as well as development of climate change mitigation policies in both the public and private sector. |  | Timothy Herbert

Understanding how the earth's climatic system, particularly the ocean, adjusts itself to perturbation on various timescales drives most aspects of my research. My recent projects include application of alkenone paleotemperature determinations to problems of Plio-Pleistocene climate change, development of new tools to scan sediment cores non-destructively, and application of orbital stratigraphy to solve problems in earth history over Cenozoic and Mesozoic time. |  | Caroline A. Karp
Environmental Studies, Center for
Caroline Karp's areas of interest are coastal and marine watershed management, water law and urban environmental policy. She has been working in southwest Madagascar since 1999 with Brown students and support from various Malagasy agencies to examine the effects of eco-tourism and market development on the village economy and the reef ecosystem. |  | Heather Leslie

Prof. Leslie is interested in the ecological and social processes that link people and marine ecosystems, and how to more effectively integrate science into marine policy and management. Her research areas include coastal ecology, the design and evaluation of marine conservation and management strategies, and human-environment interactions. |  | John Mustard

The central themes that run through my research are the processes that modify solid surfaces and the spatial and temporal scales that control environmental processes on the Earth. Because surfaces lie at the interface between the solid interior of a planet (from the shallow subsurface to the deep interior) and the fluid exterior (atmosphere, hydrosphere, etc.), their composition and morphology record the interesting interplay between interior and exterior processes. |  | Sriniketh Nagavarapu

I study environmental and labor economics, primarily in developing countries. My interests in both areas involve using econometrics and economic theory to better understand the linkages between individual decision-making, environmental forces, and poverty alleviation. | | | Talbot Page

My research integrates microbial ecology and biogeochemistry, with a current focus on nitrogen cycling in estuarine and marine environments. I use molecular techniques to unravel the microbial diversity driving biogeochemical processes. This complements my work measuring actual process rates and how switching among biogeochemical pathways is influenced by environmental factors. What I find most exciting are interactions among ecological, geochemical, and microbial controls of elemental cycles. |  | J. Timmons Roberts

My research examines 1) species invasions and 2) the response of species to climate change, with a particular emphasis on understanding and preventing species extinctions. My research on species invasions spans from local-scale studies on exotic species impacts to broad patterns of invasions across entire continents and on islands worldwide. My climate change research focuses on how species will shift their geographic distributions with changing conditions. I am also evaluating 'adaptation' strategies to climate change that can help prevent extinctions, such as the strategy of managed relocation (aka assisted colonization). |  | Johanna Schmitt

My lab is interested in the adaptive evolution of developmental, physiological, and life history traits in natural plant populations. We use quantitative genetics, QTL mapping, and association studies of candidate loci to examine the genetic basis of natural variation in ecologically important traits in Arabidopsis thaliana. We also measure natural selection on these traits and the loci underlying them in the field by experimentally manipulating environments, phenotypes, and genotypes. |  | Leila Sievanen
