Summary

Christopher w88 online game is broadly interested in how patterns of human settlement, subsistence and mobility are influenced by the changing environment and cultural factors that mediate human-environmental dynamics. In particular, much of his work focuses on how the distribution and availability of environmental resources, along with cultural factors that affect how people use those resources, influence the distribution of human settlement. w88 online game has three active research projects on California’s Channel Islands; Cabo Pulmo, Mexico; and the Loukkos Valley, Morocco.

His work on California's Channel Islands has been ongoing since 2004. There, he uses ecological models to understand the establishment, expansion and contraction of human settlement on the islands through time. w88 online game's current work involves the use of stable isotopic signatures to reconstruct environmental change on both long-term (climate change) and short-term (ENSO, inter-annual variation, seasonality) scales and the effects on patterns of human mobility.

His work in Cabo Pulmo began in 2018 and is focused on understanding w88 online game interactions with the coastal environment in a relatively understudied area. He is working on determining the distribution of archaeological sites and understanding the chronology of w88 online game occupation in the region.

w88 online game also is interested in applying human behavioral ecology models to the classical world. Since 2016, he has been a part of the Gardens w88 online game Hesperides project in the Loukkos River Valley, Morocco, under the direction of Stephen Collins-Elliot of the University of Tennessee. In this project, he is using the Ideal Free Distribution model to trace changes in w88 online game patterns outside of the primary site of Lixus.

He is co-director (with Christopher Morgan) w88 online game Human w88 casino and Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno. He encourages students interested in similar theoretical or methodological w88 online game questions to contact him.
