Dr. Eugenio Arima is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and the Environment at the University of Texas at Austin. A native Brazilian, he grew up perplexed by the rapid environmental changes in Amazonia, which provided an early motivation for his academic interests. His research lies in the intersection of land change science, spatial analysis, and landscape ecology. Dr. Arima is a human-environmental geographer interested in understanding the motivations that drive humans to act upon and transform tropical landscapes, with approaches derived from behavioral theory and political economy; and the use of mixed methods (fieldwork, GIS, econometrics, and spatial statistics). arima@austin.utexas.edu
