Ken completed his M.S. from Arizona State University in 2002. For his master's research, he studied the conflicts between groundwater pumping and ecosystem health of the San Pedro River in southeastern Arizona, focusing specifically on riparian plant communities. Before coming to UVM, he worked as an environmental consultant in Chicago, Illinois, and was active in restoration of native wetland, prairie, and savanna ecosystems in the Midwestern U.S. He has also studied tropical plant taxonomy in Central and South America. Ken's research interests in ecological economics include valuation of natural capital and ecosystem services, alternative measures of social welfare (e.g., GPI), and the ecological and economic impacts of urban sprawl. Ken also received a B.A. in botany and environmental studies from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1999.
