Bio
Vanessa Hull was a graduate student in CSIS from 2004-2014. During this time, she served as a NASA Earth and Space Science Fellow, National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, Michigan State University Distinguished Fellow, and Taylor International Engagement Fellow. Her doctoral research dealt with examining spatio-temporal patterns of giant panda habitat selection in the coupled human and natural system of Wolong Nature Reserve.  

She has also participated in a wide variety of other research topics, including examining environmental attitudes of urban Chinese, forest recovery after a natural disaster, reproduction in captive giant pandas, population source-sink dynamics, and global sustainability. Her postdoctoral research examined various topics related to giant panda ecology and conservation, coupled human and natural systems, and telecoupling.
