Dr. Karen M. Bailey

I am a systems researcher interested in understanding how human-environment interactions impact human health and wellbeing and natural resources. I recently completed my PhD in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Florida (McCleery Lab) and accepted a postdoctoral position at the University of Colorado Boulder in the Environmental Studies Program (Hartter Lab). I'm interested in sustainable livelihoods, wildlife conservation, global change, and coupled human natural systems.
