Cecilia Danks is an Associate Professor at the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, University of Vermont. She holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Wildland Resource Science from the University of California, Berkeley (2000 and 1991), and a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Williams College (1983). Her research focuses on the intersection of community well-being and forest stewardship, including community-based forestry, forest certification, carbon markets, and collaborative management institutions.
Dr. Danks teaches courses such as Community-Based Conservation, Sustainable Forest Certification, and Intermediate Environmental Studies. She advises graduate students in three concentrations: Environment, Society and Public Affairs (ESPA), Forest and Wildlife Sciences (FWS), and Environment, Thought and Culture (ETC). Her work emphasizes equity and sustainability in climate policies, forest carbon dynamics, and socio-technical systems for renewable energy.
Her research has explored community-level socioeconomic monitoring, wildfire management, and the role of policy in advancing sustainable heating technologies. She has collaborated on projects in the U.S. and internationally, including the Ukrainian Carpathians. Funding for her research depends on pending grants, which students can inquire about directly.
