Daniel Stokols

My research focuses on people’s transactions with their social and physical environments, and how those affect personal and public health, social behavior, and ecological sustainability. My research and teaching at UCI span the fields of social ecology, environmental psychology, the science of team science, and transdisciplinary public health. I served as Director of the Social Ecology Program in 1988-92 and as Founding Dean of the School of Social Ecology at UCI from 1992-98. My appointment as Chancellor’s Professor at UCI is in the Departments of Psychological Science and Urban Planning and Public Policy in the School of Social Ecology. I also have an appointment in Public Health and am a member of UCI’s Institute for Clinical and Translational Science in the College of Health Sciences. I co-authored Behavior, Health, and Environmental Stress, edited Perspectives on Environment and Behavior, and co-edited the Handbook of Environmental Psychology, Environmental Simulation, and Promoting Human Wellness. My most recent book, Social Ecology in the Digital Age, was published by Academic Press in 2018. I’ve served as scientific consultant to the National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, for the evaluation of NCI's transdisciplinary centers initiatives; and as a team science consultant for the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative (NAKFI). I am co-author of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s report on Enhancing the Effectiveness of Team Science (2015).
