About
Dr. Craig Hanson is a leading voice at the intersection of environmental science and global development, whose work is central to the emerging field of planetary health. His research focuses on how humanity’s remarkable progress—from economic growth to improved health outcomes—has come at the cost of destabilizing Earth’s natural systems. Hanson’s most cited paper, “Planetary Health Watch: integrated monitoring in the Anthropocene epoch” (2018, 20 citations), provides a critical framework for tracking these profound shifts, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and freshwater depletion. By synthesizing data across disciplines, he argues for an integrated monitoring system that can guide policy toward a more sustainable future. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between ecological science and human well-being, emphasizing that the health of our planet is inseparable from our own. With a citation count that reflects his growing influence, Hanson is a key figure in the Anthropocene dialogue, challenging researchers and policymakers alike to rethink development in an era of planetary boundaries.
