Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

Dr. Kite-Powell's research focuses on public and private sector management issues for marine resources and the economic activities that depend on them.

Current research projects include work on:

- Costs and benefits from improved ocean observing activities
- Economics of nautical charting
- Effectiveness and cost of measures to reduce ship strike risk to the North Atlantic Right Whale
- Economics and development of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping market
- Policy issues surrounding use of ocean space for non-traditional activities, such as aquaculture and wind power
- Potential of shellfish aquaculture to contribute to nutrient level management in coastal water bodies
- Economics and management of marine aquaculture operations
- Environmental and ecological implications of long-term growth in marine aquaculture industries

Sponsors

National Science Foundation (NSF) - The only federal agency whose mission includes support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, except for medical sciences. We are tasked with keeping the United States at the leading edge of discovery in areas from astronomy to geology to zoology. So, in addition to funding research in the traditional academic areas, the agency also supports "high-risk, high pay-off" ideas, novel collaborations and numerous projects that may seem like science fiction today, but which the public will take for granted tomorrow.

Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability, Michigan State University - A center of excellence that integrates ecology with socioeconomics, demography, and other disciplines for ecological sustainability from local, national, to global scales.

Global Land Project - A joint research project for land systems in the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme and the International Human Dimensions Programme.

About CHANS-Net

Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) are integrated systems in which humans and natural components interact. CHANS research has recently emerged as an exciting and integrative field of cross-disciplinary scientific inquiry, with research projects covering a variety of coupled systems in locations spanning the globe. Although individual projects have generated many important insights, it is essential to systematically transform the field to be more than the sum of its parts and provide broader insights of greater scientific and societal significance than those resulting from individual projects alone. The goal of CHANS-Net is to foster this transformation by facilitating communication and collaboration among members of the CHANS research community.
