Her research focuses on cycles of conservation and change in social-ecological systems, and the opportunities they create for organizations, key sectors, institutions and communities to form new partnerships addressing the sustainability grand challenge. In both research and education, she emphasizes ecosystem-based management, long-term perspectives, experimentation and bringing together academia and societal stakeholders in collaborative research.
