Christopher A. Scott is Associate Professor of Water Resources Policy at the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, with a joint appointment as Associate Professor, School of Geography and Development. His work focuses on the policy dimensions of global change with particular emphasis on urban wastewater and water reuse, the water-energy nexus, trans-boundary water resources, agricultural-urban water transfers, and bi-national U.S.-Mexico climate and water policy. He has 10 years of experience living and working in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Mexico in addition to two years in Honduras and two years in India with nongovernmental organizations.
Mitch Pavao-Zuckerman is a Research Scientist and Assistant Professor with B2 Earthscience at the University of Arizona's Biosphere 2 and the School of Natural Resources and the Environment. He is an ecosystem ecologist who is interested in global change and human-dominated systems. His research explores the responses of biogeochemical cycling in soils to altered environmental regimes, with a focus on linking community structure and ecosystem functioning. He works at the intersection of ecological and social sciences to develop an integrated understanding of human ecosystems, with a special emphasis on the ecology of cities and arid systems undergoing multiple environmental changes.
