People at CGS

Faculty & Students

The core of the Center for Galapagos Studies is composed of our faculty fellows, research scientists, and student associates from across the UNC campus.

To address the complex interactions of society and the environment of the Galapagos Archipelago, the Center is by necessity an interdisciplinary entity.  CGS faculty and students have academic homes in anthropology, biology, city & regional planning, ecology, economics, epidemiology, environmental sciences & engineering, geography, geological sciences, health behavior & health education, journalism & mass communication, marine science, nutrition, public policy, and sociology.
