Biosketch
Simron Jit Singh (Ph.D. Human Ecology) researches and teaches at the Institute for Social Ecology, University of Klagenfurt, Austria. His main scientific interests are in understanding local and regional (non-industrial) socio-ecological systems within the framework of sustainability science. This includes an empirical examination of the altering patterns of society-nature interactions using indicators such as material and energy flows, human appropriation of net primary production, and time-use variables. At the same time, he is engaged in efforts in generating scientific support for sustainability transitions in some regions of India, primarily the Nicobar Islands and the Central Himalayas.
