My research explores the feedbacks between nature and their environment to better understand and address climate change. Combining experimental, meta-analytical, and modeling approaches, I investigate fundamental questions in ecosystem functioning, biodiversity, and the climate system (see projects). Ultimately, I strive toward a world where nature is truly valued — where we recognize that humanity can only have a sustainable future by making nature the foundation of our economic solutions. I am Research Director of the BRANCH Institute and Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo.
