Urban Ecology

Ann Kinzig's research focuses on urban ecology, the resilience of human-environment interactions across long time scales, and science policy.

Before arriving at ASU, Dr. Kinzig was a post-doctoral researcher and lecturer at Princeton University (1994-1998). She received her B.A. in Physics from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (1986), her M.A. in Physics from University of California at Berkeley (1989), and her Ph.D. in Energy and Resources from Berkeley (1994).
