Research Projects

COVID-19 and collective response
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into sharp focus the fragility of our highly globalized, interconnected society. Never before have we experienced such a large-scale opportunity to witness, in vivo, experiments in collective action occurring worldwide at a single point in time.

Research and Practice
WITH SUPPORT FROM REIP WOODS INSTITUTE FUND. This project engages Stanford-affiliated researchers from around campus with land managers in collaborative endeavors to produce conservation solutions.

Collective Environmental Literacy
Through the “Environmental Learning in the Bay Area” initiative, we explore how, why, where, and when people learn about the environment, and what motivates them to act sustainably.

The Summen Project
Named the Summen Project after the Native American word for “redwood,” this three-year, multi-institutional initiative is supported through NSF’s Coastal Science, Engineering, and Education for Sustainability (SEES) program.
