Program Director: Angelina Sanderson Bellamy

Angelina is an ecologist and has worked as a researcher at Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and Cardiff University's Sustainable Places Research Institute. She works on issues pertaining to sustainable food systems, in particular agroecological approaches. She has worked in Costa Rica for 16 years on banana and coffee production systems and more broadly on tensions between land use change and biodiversity and the delivery of ecosystem services. Angelina also lectures in Environmental Science, Natural resource governance and sustainable food systems.

Assistant Dean: Tenea Watson

Tenea is the Assistant Dean in the Office of Multicultural Affairs at Stanford's School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Science.

Dean: Pamela Matson

Pamela Matson is an internationally recognized interdisciplinary Earth scientist, academic leader and organizational strategist.

A MacArthur Fellow and elected member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, Matson has served as dean of the School of Earth Sciences at Stanford since 2002. She has led the School through significant change, targeted at helping improve the University's ability to engage in use- inspired research and to educate future leaders in the sustainability challenges related to Earth resources, hazards and environment. During the same time period, Matson co-led the Stanford Challenge Initiative on Environment and Sustainability, and helped build the Woods Institute for the Environment and the Precourt Institute for Energy as well as the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources.

Scientifically, Matson is a global thought leader who works to reconcile the needs of people and the planet in the 21st century. Her research addresses a range of environment and sustainability issues, including sustainability of agricultural systems; vulnerability of particular people and places to climate change; and environmental consequences of tropical land use change and global change in the nitrogen and carbon cycles. With multidisciplinary teams of researchers, managers, and decision makers, she has worked to develop agricultural approaches that reduce environmental impacts while maintaining livelihoods and human well-being.

Administrative Support: Lupe Carrillo

As a Diversity Officer and Program Manager for "Stanford Earth" --a world leader in Earth, environmental and energy sciences--Lupe helps to advance the School's diversity goals and implement inclusive educational initiatives by:

  • building partnerships with universities, such as The University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez, Columbia University, and Morehouse College, and representing Stanford Earth as a judge for Ecuador's contest of Innovation;
  • directing the SURGE summer program for undergraduates students;
  • collecting and reporting Stanford Earth's diversity data;
  • managing operating budget and assisting in the implementation of NSF-related grants;
  • and, updating and maintaining content on the Office of Multicultural Affairs website.
