Rebecca Lave studies the intersection of environmental science and social science, focusing on how rivers and streams are managed, restored, and governed. Her work examines topics such as stream restoration, water justice, environmental markets (like carbon and water credits), and methods for combining social and physical approaches in environmental research. A central theme is 'critical physical geography,' which blends the study of physical processes with attention to power, politics, and society.
