RESEARCH PROFILE
ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Within my economic geography research on the resources and sustainability I focus on natural resources management, disaster recovery, the development of sustainable business enterprises and networks, and the effectiveness of policies designed to promote innovation and transformation, or resilience in the face of shocks. I research the relationships between resources, governance, innovation, markets and environments with sustainability as a driving conccern. As solutions to chronic environmental problems are sought by some in the formation of new markets it is timely to research aspects of resources and their effects on environments, market formation, the implications of trade for environments, and the implications of the cultures of markets for environments. Currently, this broad research focus is advanced through three thematic agendas:.
