Caroline E. Ferguson

I am a community-engaged interdisciplinary scholar advancing justice-oriented research on climate adaptation, fisheries management, and Indigenous food economies in Palau and the Marshall Islands. In 2021, I earned my PhD in Environment and Resources from Stanford University and began a postdoctoral scholar position at UCSB, working on developing just and inclusive processes in large-scale ocean management.
