Her research combines historical and ethnographic methods to explore the politics of value in environmental conservation, with particular focus on Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) programs. Her contemporary fieldwork takes a multi-scalar approach to the politics of environmental valuation at international and national levels, with a regional focus on the Americas. She has conducted ethnographic research into the geopolitics of environmental valuation through participant observation in the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and her current research focuses on the political geographies of water, energy, and conservation in freshwater PES programs in Latin America and the United States.
