About Holly

Holly Buck is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environment and Sustainability at the University at Buffalo, College of Arts and Sciences. She earned a PhD in Development Sociology from Cornell University in 2017 and an MSc in Human Ecology from Lund University in 2011. As an environmental social scientist, her research examines the social, political, and governance dimensions of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. Key areas include geoengineering, carbon dioxide removal technologies, carbon capture, environmental justice, residual emissions in net-zero pathways, and public engagement with emerging climate technologies. Buck investigates how these technologies can be scaled for public benefit, drawing on methods such as interviews, focus groups, surveys, and scenario analysis across disciplines like geography, sociology, environmental science, and science and technology studies.
