Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology
Social and ecological contexts simultaneously influence, and are shaped by, population health and population dynamics. Embracing this complexity and methodological challenge, CSDE scholars study human resilience and adaptation to climate change, the role of neighborhoods in conditioning human behavior, and policy and program interventions and their impact on population outcomes. CSDE’s research tools include quasi-experimental designs, sentinel studies, spatial analyses, and multi-level and longitudinal assessments. The Primary Research Area Chair for Environments and Populations is Ann Bostrom.
