Nancy Golubiewski is Research Ecologist at the New Zealand Centre for Ecological Economics, where she has researched the ecosystem services provided by natural and managed landscapes located within a Maori iwi's ancestral land as well as contributed to projects on urban material/energy flow accounting and the development of a genuine progress indicator.  Her research interests center around anthropogenic perturbations of the environment, especially the ecological consequences of land-use/land-cover change. A particular focus is the field of urban ecology.  Previous projects include investigating the implications of urban sprawl on carbon storage in Colorado, soil recovery after the cessation of grazing in New Mexico, and the long-term trajectories of structure and composition of forests located on abandoned agricultural fields in North Carolina. She works at a variety of scales, from field studies to regional analyses. She holds a B.Sc. from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, a Master's of Environmental Management from Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment, and a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Colorado-Boulder.
