Research:
J. Marty Anderies' research interests focus on developing an understanding of how ecological, behavioral, social and institutional factors generate vulnerabilities and/or enhance resilience and robustness in social-ecological systems. His work relies on combining insights from present-day, historical and archaeological examples of social-ecological systems with a range of analytical techniques and laboratory experiments to study how individual decision-making processes influence social and environmental outcomes. Other areas of interest include economic growth, demographics and theoretical ecology. Anderies is affiliated with the Center for the Study of Institutional Diversity, the Global Institute of Sustainability and the IGERT program in Urban Ecology.
Research Projects:
Legacies on the Landscape
Long-Term Coupled Socioecological Change in the American Southwest and Northern Mexico
Teaching:
Anderies has taught anthropology and biology-, ecology- and math-based courses and currently focuses on those related to social-ecological systems and modeling. He is the recipient of the 2006 Dean's Distinguished Teaching Award, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Arizona State University.
