Ecology ⦁ Psychology ⦁ Health
My research has focused on natural sciences and public health, and the intersections between these, evolutionary psychology and applied ecopsychology. In addition to studying public health and evolutionary health from an ecopsychology lens, I also research ecology topics in restoration and climate health.
Rewild
My primary research projects lately have focused on Rewild Ecopsychology services and courses. These compile interdisciplinary research in evolutionary psychology, health and natural sciences to improve health and teach ecotherapy and nature-connecting skills to individuals and organizations.
Liko Na Pilina
For several years, I had the privilege to work with Liko Na Pilina Hybrid Ecosystems project, a partnership between the University of Hawaii at Hilo and the US Forest Service. This groundbreaking project used functional trait databases, innovative plant pairings, and innovative software for local and global applications.
Special Topics
In addition to interdisciplinary ecopsychology programs for Rewild, I enjoy research in sound healing, sound pollution, and the sensory capacity of human beings and other complex animals.
