J. Marty Anderies

J. Marty Anderies is Professor at the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University (ASU), where he is based. His research interests focus on developing an understanding of how ecological, behavioral, social, and institutional factors affect the robustness/vulnerability characteristics of 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 study how individual decision-making processes interact with governance regimes to influence social and environmental outcomes. Other areas of interest include economic growth, demographics, and theoretical ecology. He received his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of British Columbia.
