Brian F. Codding is Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Archaeological Center at the University of Utah. His research explores the dynamic interactions between humans and ecosystems. He has authored or co-authored over 100 publications across ethnographic and archaeological contexts in the Americas and Australia, and hasbeen awarded multiple National Science Foundation grants to examine patterning in past and present socioenvironmental systems. Current projects focus on building robust methods for demographic reconstruction, assessing the impacts of climate change on Indigenous societies, understanding the emergence of social inequality among subsistence populations, identifying factors that promote peace within and between groups, and examining how long-term human-environment interactions shape ecosystem function in order to assist Tribal restoration efforts.
