Amelia (Emily) Kreiter

Emily is an environmental social scientist with a wide range of experience exploring attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors surrounding natural resources in urban areas, tribal lands, and agricultural lands, with a special focus on water resource protection. She is most interested in the gap between environmental risk perceptions and pro-environmental behavior adoption and the sociocultural factors that contribute to that gap. Results from her research have highlighted potential risks and opportunities for natural resource protection, and have informed policy decisions to protect water resources for multiple uses and values.
