Jeffrey is a Ph.D. candidate in Natural Resources. Jeffrey's research interests focus on the economic impacts of global change on local and regional forest systems, as well as the costs and benefits of alternative adaptation options. This includes examining how biodiversity and supporting ecosystem services can contribute to mitigation and adaptation efforts in a social, cultural and economic context. His research also seeks to establish whether existing or new economic tools and knowledge would better allow both the public and private sectors to make better adaptation investments and policy decisions.
