Robyn S. Wilson

Robyn S. Wilson studies how farmers, land managers, and other decision-makers perceive and respond to environmental risks such as water pollution, climate change, and wildfire, drawing on psychology and behavioral science to inform conservation and natural resource policy. Her work often examines what motivates farmers to adopt conservation practices and how social and cognitive factors shape adaptation to environmental hazards. This research combines survey-based social science methods with applied environmental management questions, particularly in the Great Lakes region.

Publication output rose to a peak around 2021 but has generally slowed over the past few years, settling at a lower and fairly steady rate of about 5 papers per year recently.
