Corrine Knapp is an Associate Professor in the Haub School at University of Wyoming. She is trained as an interdisciplinarian with her PhD in Human Ecology from University of Alaska Fairbanks. Her research interests are at the intersection of land-based livelihoods and conservation in the context of climate change, including understanding how qualitative aspects of our lived experience, including identity, local knowledge, and sense of place, impact our ability to adapt in a changing environment. Knapp has published over 35 peer-reviewed articles and recently served as the lead author for a chapter of the National Climate Assessment. She currently serves as a Co-PI for a large NSF EPSCoR grant, Western Water Assessment, a Climate Adaptation Program (CAP-RISA), and now a consortium partner with the North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NC CASC). Her favorite part of her job is mentoring the next generation of environmental leaders who inspire and motivate her every day.
