ECOSERVICES Group Arizona State University |
||
The group investigates the causes and consequences of change in ecosystem services – the biophysical functions that provide people with both tangible and intangible benefits. Currently, it has five main research foci: (a) ecosystem service flows, (b) invasive pests and pathogens; (c) urban infrastructures; (d) commercial and recreational fisheries; (e) biodiversity change. The group brings an interdisciplinary approach to these areas, its expertise spanning economics, ecology, environmental science, mathematics and geography. Contacts: prof. Charles Perrings |
