Land Use

My research focuses on the ecology of infectious disease. I am interested in how climate, species interactions, and global change drive infectious disease dynamics in humans and natural ecosystems. This research combines mathematical modeling and empirical work.

Eric Lambin, a geographer and environmental scientist, divides his time between the UCLouvain (Belgium) and Stanford University, were he occupies the Ishiyama Provostial Professorship at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and the Woods Institute for the Environment. His research tries to better understand causes and impacts of land use changes in different parts of the world. He was Chair of the international scientific project Land Use and Land Cover Change (LUCC) from 1999 to 2005.
