The Modeling for Human-And-Nature Interactions (MoHANI) group is recently moved to the Department of F.-A Forel for environmental and aquatic sciences at University of Geneva, Switzerland (we were previously at Oregon State University).  We want to answer pressing land/forest related sustainability questions by revealing the mechanisms of the human and nature interactions. Our interests at the nexus of biodiversity conservation, human health and food production in wide range of landscapes.

For us, modeling is a way to tell a unique story with unambiguous and transparent language and to guide us through often complex interactions. Since human and natural processes share "space" in common, spatial analyses comes handy to investigate deeply interdisciplinary investigation. Our approach also includes, depending on a project, computer simulation, remote sensing and drones, biological sampling and community interviews. We believe in dataset with the strong emphasis on biological and social evidence.

Our group moved to Geneva in October 2022.
