Long Bio
B. L. Turner II is a geographer and human-environmental scientist who works on land change from prehistory to present, urban land system design, vulnerability and resilience, and sustainability. He works on deforestation, primarily in Mexico and Central America, and urban design in arid environments, especially the American Southwest.
Professor Turner has been involved in a number of international and national science programs examining global environmental change including those dealing with land systems of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, the International Human Dimensions Programme, DIVERSITAS, and the U.S. National Climate Assessment, and is a senior review editor for Climate Change and Land: An IPCC Special Report. He is also the associate editor of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences focused on sustainability.
He teaches courses society and environment, sustainability and land systems.
