Economic Geographies of Sustainability
Research on the interaction between resources, policies, innovation, markets and the environment.
We conduct economic geography research on resources and sustainability with special attention to natural resources management, disaster recovery, the development of sustainable business enterprises and networks, and the effectiveness of policies designed to promote innovation, transformation, or resilience in the face of shocks. This involves researching interactions among resources, governance, innovation, markets and environments with sustainability as a driving concern. As solutions to chronic environmental problems are sought by some in the formation of new markets it is vital to research aspects of resources and their effects on environments, market formation, the implications of trade for environments, and the implications of the cultures of markets for environments. In addition, we research historical geographies of globalization, This research focus is advanced through three thematic agendas:
