His research focuses on the climate-society system and options for responding to climate change risk in an integrated way, drawing on approaches from systems analysis, modeling, decision analysis, and other analytical methods of public policy and economics. Current work is investigating how to compare the risks and possible benefits of solar geoengineering with the risks of climate change in future scenarios. This includes specific interests in building plausible policy scenarios for geoengineering, the potential international security and termination shock risks posed, and the need for global monitoring of any solar geoengineering deployment. Previous research has explored emerging risk governance for geoengineering as well as optimal portfolios of climate change mitigation and adaptation, international climate governance, policy options in the face of limited adaptation capacity, water-energy system dynamics under climate policy, and clean energy policy.

At USU, I teach a variety of courses in both the psychology undergraduate program and the combined clinical/counseling PhD specialization. My specialties are in research methods, multiculturalism/diversity, and LGBTQ mental health. My research examines how and when religiousness is related to health among sexual and gender minorities to better inform psychotherapy and public policy. In general, my research follows three trajectories: 1) I am interested in examining the health disparities experienced by sexual and gender minorities, particularly those from a conservative religious background. 2) I am fascinated by understanding how sexual and gender identities intersect with religious identities to help or hinder health and how those associations change over time. 3) I am dedicated to translating my findings to help inform therapy, policy, and ministry. I integrate my research with clinical work in a scientist-practitioner model. I maintain a private practice where I primarily serve sexual and gender minority clients with a conservative religious background.

Tyus Williams
Ph.D. Candidate in Environmental Science, Policy and Management, University of California, Berkeley
My research takes an exciting approach by looking at the intersections of human-wildlife interactions and species competition (resulting in interspecific killings or intraguild predation) under human-dominated landscapes and how these two are mutually exacerbated due to the stressors within these environments. With the world rapidly changing it's crucial that we ask questions about the role anthropogenic influences play on wildlife communities around the globe to understand how human-wildlife conflict issues and species competition will unfold in the future and what these implications ultimately mean for human-wildlife coexistence and ecosystem stability.
My current research for my first chapter examines the effectiveness of shoreline exclusion zones on mammalian mesocarnivores in East Bay Regional Shorelines to understand how varying mesocarnivore species are utilizing these diverse landscapes as corridors to their advantage and what that implies for temporal overlap between species, avoidance behavior, and habitat utilization for species potentially occupying these shoreline locations.
