Personal profile
Klaus Glenk is a Professor of Environmental and Resource Economics and leads the Sustainable Ecosystems Team at Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC). His research focuses on the micro-analysis of consumer and household decisions. He has more than 10 years of experience in the appraisal of environmental policy interventions including climate change mitigation and adaptation in agriculture, biodiversity conservation and water management. Another strand of work includes investigating resource use decisions, technology choice and contract design for incentive-based land management schemes. He has been PI and Co-I on several projects for NERC, EU FP7, and for government bodies and committees (DEFRA, SEPA, SG Rural Affairs and the Environment Portfolio Strategic Research Programme).
