By bridging between global environmental and local behavioral datasets, Kelton helps to inform harmonious interfaces between people and places.His PhD research examines how global environmental change – the most extensive effect human technology is having on the planet – may affect public life, health, beliefs and behavior across contexts ranging from communities and cities to countries and continents. Recently, he helped conduct the Greenlandic Perspectives Survey (GPS): a countrywide, representative survey of 649 Greenlandic residents’ beliefs, attitudes and experiences of ongoing environmental changes and adaptation around Greenland.Kelton has an MSc in Human Environment Relations from Cornell University’s College of Human Ecology and a BSc in Design and Environmental Analysis.
