He actively supervises PhD candidates and leads projects addressing marine conservation, sustainable agriculture, and policy design in regions like Indonesia and China.

• Education: Not explicitly mentioned in the provided texts.
• Key Research Areas: Fisheries management, climate change impacts, ecosystem service valuation, and behavioral economics applications in resource governance.

Richter’s work emphasizes practical solutions for sustainable resource use, combining theoretical models with empirical field experiments. His recent studies explore stakeholder perspectives in agricultural landscapes (North China Plain), behavioral dynamics in threshold games (Cambodia), and the economic-trade-offs of mesopelagic fishing.

He has contributed to media discussions on illegal fishing practices and marine conservation strategies. Current projects include financing tourism for marine protected areas and institutional frameworks for nutrient emissions control in the Netherlands.

• Grants/Projects:
  • Innovative spatial planning mechanisms for nutrient emissions control
  • Understanding Raja Ampat Marine Protected Area via system dynamics
  • Marine conservation and food security in West Papua, Indonesia

Richter collaborates internationally, with notable contributions to the valuation of ecosystem services and adaptive management strategies under climate change.
