[Collaborative research on natural resources and the environment with scientists in the United States, Asia, and the Pacific. Main project: Collaborative research with the Southeast Asian Universities Agroecosystem Network on human interactions with tropical agroecosystems, including complex polyculture cropping systems, ecological knowledge in traditional agriculture, the relation between traditional intercropping and pest population dynamics, nutritional strategies for cropping system design, and linkages between agricultural research and agricultural development policy. Additional projects: International fisheries management and national maritime jurisdictions; Environmental implications of biomass energy development in Hawaii. Coordination of professional training workshops in human ecology. Taught graduate course in the University of Hawaii political science department on environment and policy. Supervised graduate students and served on thesis committees in University of Hawaii departments of agronomy and soils, botany, geography, public health, entomology, zoology, urban and regional planning, and political science.]
