Environmental Change

Global environmental change poses challenges to security, prosperity and social justice. Sié Center faculty member Cullen Hendrix has led projects both individually and in partnership with Dr. Sarah Glaser and One Earth Future to examine how climate change threatens security, conflict around fisheries and conflict around food security.

Featured Project:

Disruptive Effects of Autonomy
The world's fisheries are the main source of protein for one billion people and provide income for over 43.5 million, of which 95 percent live in developing countries. Led by Professor Cullen Hendrix, this project is a collaboration with Dr. Sarah Glaser, Secure Fisheries, and One Earth Future. This project aims to quantify the impacts of civil conflict on fish catch, the feedback between aquatic population dynamics, local markets and food security, and model developing country fisheries as coupled natural human systems.
