Dr. Redman's interests include human impacts on the environment, sustainable landscapes, rapidly urbanizing regions, urban ecology, societal resilience, environmental education, and public outreach. His work focuses on global change and landscape transition, using both the tools of archaeology to acquire a very long-term perspective, and the cutting-edge techniques of remote sensing to project future scenarios from current patterns. Redman has been committed to interdisciplinary research since, as an archaeology graduate student, he worked in the field with botanists, zoologists, geologists, art historians, and ethnographers. As inaugural director of the School of Sustainability he is creating a new approach to higher education that is collaborative, transdisciplinary, and problem-oriented to address the enmeshed environmental, economic, and social challenges of the 21st century. Dr. Redman teaches Perspectives on Sustainability.
