Anna Gomes
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science
BioMy main interests lie within anthropogenic climate change, environmental science, and agriculture. The complex system dynamics and interconnections between agriculture and the environment including nutrient cycling, energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions are a few of the most critical challenges for today's soil scientists. After completing a master’s degree in Sustainability Science and Environmental Studies at Lund University in Sweden, researching farmer adoption of practices which mitigate GHGs from arable soils in the Netherlands at Wageningen University, I started a PhD in Earth System Science at Stanford University, aiming to focus on soil and environmental biogeochemistry. In parallel to my work in academia, I have been working on a start-up to address food waste and food insecurity in CA (Ugly Food Market), in addition to being a team member on several projects including a sharing library (Circle Centre), a soil science educational platform (Soil Life), and other sustainability related initiatives.

Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources
BioPersonal website: https://www.gusgreenstein.com/. (Link in lower-right corner of this page.)
I'm a doctoral candidate in the Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources at Stanford University, specializing in Public Management and Environmental Governance. I am currently on the US and European academic job markets.
Using qualitative and quantitative methods, I study policy implementation and institutional change in the context of environmental/climate policy and international development.
The majority of my research has focused on the World Bank and Brazil's federal protected areas agency. You can find information on my publications and current projects on the Research page of my personal website.
Prior to doctoral studies, I earned an MPhil in Development Studies at Oxford and a BA in environmental studies from Amherst College.
Outside of academia, I’ve worked as a consultant/research analyst for the World Bank Environment Practice, World Bank Independent Evaluation Group, The Brattle Group (an energy economics consulting firm), International Rivers, and Conservation Strategy Fund. As a Thomas Watson Fellow, I spent a year documenting the social-environmental impacts of large hydropower projects across South/Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America.
