Three SNRE Ph.D. students—Irem Daloglu, Dan Miller and Baruani Mshale—have received fellowships from U-M's Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute.

Dalaglu is researching conservation practices of farmers and their effects on downstream water quality, looking at agri-environmental policies to measure their net benefits to explore sustainable paths for agriculture. Miller's research interests include the politics of international biodiversity conservation, the social impacts of conservation, social dimensions of climate change adaptation, and the role of donors in shaping conservation and development outcomes. Mshale focuses on the interactive effects of climatic, economic and demographic changes on biodiversity resources and rural livelihoods in developing countries, using Kilwa District in Tanzania as a case study.
