My research broadly addresses just transition policy within international climate politics. This year, I will continue my research on deep-sea mining by launching a public opinion survey examining support for deep-sea mining, given the ongoing international negotiations on exploitation. I also have an ongoing project looking at country-level support for a deep-sea mining moratorium. My other research considers climate governance in international negotiations and the influence of developing countries. In the future, I also plan to examine public support for emerging clean energy technologies and the tradeoffs individuals are willing to consider.
