Doctor of Philosophy in Geography - Human-Environment and Nature-Society Geography

Clark University

Human-environment geographers draw from social theory, ecological sciences, land system science, development studies, decision science, law, and ethics to examine relationships between people and environments. We focus on how these relationships influence processes shaping: (1) land use, land cover and their long-term legacies (2) the use and control of natural resources (3) socio-ecological vulnerability and resilience and (4) patterns of environmental justice, conflict and uneven development.
