Working papers

My current working papers are on the topics of global elephant conservation and the impact of destroying ivory; the relationships between tropical storms, mangroves, and local livelihoods using global satellite data; coastal erosion management in the Pacific Northwest (USA), and the role of different geomorphologies and how they are valued by coastal homebuyers (using hedonic analysis); and deforestation policies in the Brazilian Amazon.
