Focal Areas

The Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies recognizes that it is as important to solve problems for local watersheds as it is to address issues related to global climate change.  Likewise, it is as important to coach tomorrow’s leaders to get their hands dirty with fieldwork as it is to train them to analyze and formulate policy.  To address the breadth and scope such a wide range of environmental challenges, the faculty of the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies created nine focal areas through which to channel research and study.

Professor Gregoire's research involves two focal areas. Click on the links below to connect to the specified focal area's description on the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies web site:
