Anita specializes in human dimensions of natural resources, a social science focused on understanding why humans make the decisions they do about natural resources, and the characteristics of humans that influence those decisions. She uses this information to learn about how humans interact with their natural world in a landscape context (across geographic space and time). Anita leads social science research for the Stormwise project, the objective of which is to understand public concerns about “barriers” and opportunities for tree and forest management in urban, suburban, and rural communities.
