![]() We aim to make change in the world by conducting scientific research immediately relevant to policymakers, industry, non-governmental organizations and others working on the ground. ![]() We are also committed to communicating our science through the media and policy briefs for general audiences. Our work bridges disciplines, scales and perspectives by linking the top-down global view with the detailed place-based view provided by case studies and field We also quantify what these land-use changes mean for ecosystem services, particularly carbon storage and emissions. We use GIS, remotely sensed imagery, econometrics, Big Data, and commodity supply-chain analysis combined with stakeholder interviews in the field to understand how and why humans use land around the world. In the Gibbs Land Use and Environment Lab (GLUE), we study human environment interactions and aim to reconcile forest conservation, climate change, and food security by informing policy and market-based strategies. These land-use impacts rival climate change and pressure is mounting with growing population and consumption trends. Human land-use change has transformed our world more than any other environmental change. For info and directions to apply click HERE.
