With over a decade of experience across environmental and energy policy arenas, Dr. Eitan has held senior roles in public authorities and private consulting, contributing to the design and implementation of regulatory and environmental policy frameworks. Dr. Eitan’s research focuses on environmental governance and environmental innovation, examining how institutional arrangements, regulatory practices, and societal dynamics shape both environmental decision-making and the development, diffusion, and adoption of sustainable innovations. Drawing on geography, environmental studies, public policy, and economics, his work addresses core environmental challenges under conditions of uncertainty, technological change, and competing priorities, with energy transitions serving as a key empirical domain.
Dr. Amit Tubi joined the Department of Geography after his post-doctoral training at the University of Toronto (2015-2016). Amit’s main research stream focuses on the relationship between climate change and society, encompassing the institutional, economic and political dimensions linked with these changes. His research examines the factors that shape social groups’ vulnerability to climate change and climate extremes, the manner in which societies adapt to climatic perturbations, the relationship between climate change and cooperation/conflict, climate migration, the effect of psychological factors on adaptation processes, and learning from past society-environment interactions for informing our responses to contemporary environmental changes. Amit’s work in these areas is linked to his research in physical geography. In this field, Amit focuses on synoptic climatology, particularly on the effect of atmospheric circulation patterns on environmental phenomena such as dust outbreaks, extreme temperatures and flash floods.
