PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:

Dr. Stone's research interests include social-political aspects of environmental issues, especially of global climate change. She is interested in understanding effects of environmental uncertainty on human reactions (i.e., perception, attitudes, and behavior) in order to promote pro-ecological behavior (e.g., water and utility conservation, recycling). She is also interested in alleviating and preventing inter-group (e.g. inter-states, inter-basins, and international) conflict stemmed from social identity of involved parties.
