As Professor of Natural Resource Policy and Management and Associate Director of the Human Dimensions Research Unit in the Department of Natural Resources, my current research examines risk perception, communication and management focused on fisheries affected by chemical contaminants; ecosystem-based management approaches for Great Lakes and marine systems; and factors influencing human stewardship and use of natural resources, particularly fish and wildlife. As Vice Provost, I oversee undergraduate admissions and financial aid and am involved in academic diversity initiatives. As Dean of the Graduate School, I oversee graduate education at Cornell.
