Research Projects
My current research for my master's thesis is on the Human Dimensions of Roadside Vegetation Management.
Utilizing social science survey methods, we hope to understand human attitudes and beliefs about roadside forests and roadside vegetation management. The goal of this research is to create new management strategies which will reduce the risk of tree-related power outages. -Interview with Naturally@UConn |
