BehaviorChange
Human activities and land-use change are causing major impacts on ecosystems. As a result, human-wildlife interactions reorganize dynamically, with fundamental consequences for zoonotic disease emergence.

The impact of terminated Payments for Ecosystem Services (IMPACTED)
The proposed research project will evaluate the impact of a terminated, asset-building PES scheme in Mozambique. The Sofala Carbon Community Project (SCCP) contracted over 2600 smallholder farmers for the adoption of agroforestry between 2003 and 2015

The Shadow of the Future: How climate change affects human behavior
The aim of the project is to better understand the climate change migration nexus. We conducted lab-in-the field experiments in three sea-levle rise hot-spots: low-lying islands in the Pacific (Solomon Islands) and river deltas in Bangladesh and Vietnam.
