As a geographer I am interested in how human communities respond to and creatively generate different livelihood opportunities and environmental changes. My long-run research interest has been understanding the nature of uneven development, which is one of the central questions of economic geography. My recent research has been focusing on nuclear energy facilities and how local host communities deal with various changes and problems associated with the facilities, including accidents, decommissioning, and nuclear wastes. I am also interested in learning how human-environment relationships are studied in non-Euro-American regional contexts, especially in Japan. I like synthesizing fieldwork-based research (such as conducting interviews in local communities) and quantitative analysis, using geographic information systems and other spatial statistical tools. I love working with students in collaborative research; many of my recent publications are co-authored with 新澳彩开奖结果 students.
