Perz conducts research on demographic processes and environmental change, land use practices and land cover dynamics, and the socio-spatial processes of road-building in the Amazon. He has received funding from NASA and NSF for work on roads and forest fragmentation in the Brazilian Amazon. He is involved in fieldwork along the Transamazon highway that crosses northern Brazil, as well as along the Transoceanic highway that connects southern Brazil to Peru and Bolivia.
