Biography

H. Thomas Foster, II (Ph.D., The Pennsylvania State University) is Professor of Anthropology at The University of Tulsa. His research uses models of economic behavior to understand how humans react to and manage environmental and social variability and how those decisions in turn affect resources in the biophysical environment. As an archaeologist, he has been using the time depth of archaeological and historical data to test models about resilience and adaptation among the Native Americans of the Southeastern United States and Caribbean in response to colonialism and ecological change. He has published extensively on the effects of humans on the environment and how we can use that information to manage modern environmental issues.
