J. Marty Anderies is an associate professor with a joint appointment in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change and School of Sustainability at Arizona State University, Tempe, Ariz. Anderies received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from The University of British Columbia. Before joining ASU, Anderies spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Division of Wildlife and Ecology at the Commonwealth Science and Industry Research Organization (CSIRO) in Canberra, Australia.
Research interests:
Anderies' research focuses on developing an understanding of how ecological, behavioral, social, and institutional factors affect the robustness/vulnerability characteristics of coupled social-ecological systems. His work combines qualitative insights from present-day, historical, and archaeological case studies of social-ecological systems with formal mathematical modeling and experiments with human subjects to explore how individual decision-making processes interact with governance regimes to influence social and environmental outcomes.
