New research publication from our team - 4/1/24

Learn more about our research! A new, open access article by Kristen Jakstis and Michael Barnes has been published in Global Environmental Psychology. The authors reviewed the literature and found that winter is a neglected season, especially in the area of human-nature-interactions. Winter-nature interactions are just as important to understand as other seasons' interactions.
