Land use changes, farm management practices, water pollution, climate change, and other human activities all threaten our natural resources here in Indiana and throughout the Midwest. The Natural Resources Social Science Lab (NRSS) that I lead at Purdue studies how human interactions with the environment impact natural resources. Our lab’s research and engagement focus primarily on how to best motivate farmers, stakeholders, and citizens of all kinds to participate in more environmentally friendly behaviors and practices.

The NRSS lab supports Purdue’s commitment to diversity and welcomes individuals of all ages, backgrounds, citizenships, disability, sex, education, ethnicities, family statuses, genders, gender identities, geographical locations, languages, military experience, political views, races, religions, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, and work experiences.  Several members of the lab (including me) have completed Safe Zone training.

In addition to my research and extension work, I am Department Head of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, and I direct the Indiana Water Resources Research Center.

Okay, here's the gist: Not good, but also not as bad as it could have been. It's pretty narrow & focused on Section 111d of the Clean Air Act. Does not say EPA can't regulate CO2. Still leaves Section 115, particulate matter regulations, TSCA and more: https://www.drilledpodcast.com/what-paths-would-the-worst-west-virginia-v-epa-ruling-leave-open/
