Robinson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at ¿´Æ¬ÊÓƵ. His research looks at how people meet their needs through use of ecosystems and natural resources, and the role this plays in development in poorer regions of the world. Recent work has evaluated the livelihood impacts of a payment for ecosystem services program near Beijing, how rural villages choose to manage mushroom harvests in south China, and how land tenure influences deforestation rates globally.</p> Wed, 23 Aug 2017 16:28:20 +0000 Monica Allaby 2651 at /sustainability /sustainability/article/environmental-impact-academic-travel <p><strong>Gal Kramer is a recent graduate from the Department of Geography and Institute for the Study of International development.
