• Expert review of the science underlying nature-based climate solutions

  Nature Climate Change · 2024-03-21 · 86 citations

  articleOpen access

  Abstract Viable nature-based climate solutions (NbCS) are needed to achieve climate goals expressed in international agreements like the Paris Accord. Many NbCS pathways have strong scientific foundations and can deliver meaningful climate benefits but effective mitigation is undermined by pathways with less scientific certainty. Here we couple an extensive literature review with an expert elicitation on 43 pathways and find that at present the most used pathways, such as tropical forest conserv…

• Evaluating sustainable development policies in rural coastal economies

  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · 2020 · 30 citations

  Sustainable development (SD) policies targeting marine economic sectors, designed to alleviate poverty and conserve marine ecosystems, have proliferated in recent years. Many developing countries are providing poor fishing households with new fishing boats (fishing capital) that can be used further offshore as a means to improve incomes and relieve fishing pressure on nearshore fish stocks. These kinds of policies are a marine variant of traditional SD policies focused on agriculture. Here, we e…

• Reframing Optimal Control Problems for Infectious Disease Management in Low-Income Countries

  Bulletin of Mathematical Biology · 2023-03-12 · 15 citations

  articleOpen access

  Optimal control theory can be a useful tool to identify the best strategies for the management of infectious diseases. In most of the applications to disease control with ordinary differential equations, the objective functional to be optimized is formulated in monetary terms as the sum of intervention costs and the cost associated with the burden of disease. We present alternate formulations that express epidemiological outcomes via health metrics and reframe the problem to include features suc…

• Protected area, easement, and rental contract data reveal five communities of land protection in the United States

  Ecological Applications · 2021-03-03 · 9 citations

  article

  Land protection efforts represent large societal investments and are critical to biodiversity conservation. Land protection involves a complex mosaic of areas managed by multiple organizations, using a variety of mechanisms to achieve different levels of protection. We develop an approach to synthesize, describe, and map this land protection diversity over large spatial scales. We use cluster analysis to find distinct "communities" of land protection based on the organizations involved, the stri…
