Summary
Neil Carter is an associate professor at the University of Michigan with nine years of faculty experience studying the dynamics and governance of complex socio-environmental systems, with a strong focus on biodiversity conservation. He bridges theoretical advances and practical relevance by developing quantitative models of human–environment interactions and evaluating conservation policy scenarios that consider socioeconomic as well as biological outcomes. His work explores cross-scale institutional linkages, feedbacks between biodiversity and local communities, and the human dimensions of conservation, informed by a PhD in Fisheries and Wildlife and earlier training in terrestrial ecology and evolutionary ecology. Based in Ann Arbor, he combines long-term academic leadership with a history of applied GIS and synthesis-focused postdoctoral research, making his scholarship especially useful to conservation practitioners and policy makers.
