Dr. J. Anthony Abbott
Associate Professor of Geography and Environmental Science
As a Political Ecologist based in geographic traditions and mixed methods research (qualitative and quantitative), my research foci include agricultural biodiversity, clean energy and greenhouse gas emissions policy, sustainability institutions, and a longstanding regional interest in the Americas, especially the Andean countries. I am strongly oriented to research collaborations with students.
