Department offers specialization in ecological and environmental anthropology. Students pursue flexible programs within the department and across the university in areas such as ecology, forest resources, marine sciences, conservation biology and sustainable development, agriculture, environmental ethics, and international programs. In addition, Georgia, as the location of diverse human populations from paleo-Indian to modern times, offers a superb natural lab for studying long-term ecological and environmental human adaptations. Around the ecological theme, faculty hold specializations in developmental anthropology, agricultural anthropology, behavioral ecology, stable isotope analysis, food and nutrition, geoarchaeology, historical ecology, heritage studies, environmental archaeology, anthropological archaeology, ethnobiology, ethnoecology, and conservation.
