Her work as an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity's Climate, Air and Energy Program focused on ways to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution under existing laws in order to protect biological diversity, public health, and the environment. Her current research at the University focuses largely on REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) through the Governors' Climate & Forests Task Force project.
