Dr. Marcos Sommer's research is situated at the marine science-policy interface and focuses on understanding the dynamics between social, economic and environmental dimensions in marine sustainable development. This approach takes shape in the following ways: 1) assessing cumulative anthropogenic impacts on the environment and understanding the consequences for people; 2) identifying priority actions and policy plans to achieve specific sustainable development goals (in particular, the Sustainable Development Goals); 3) understanding risk and uncertainty in marine sustainability policy and management.
