Dr. Meredith Gore is an Associate Professor of Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change in the Department of Geographical Sciences at the University of Maryland. Meredith uses risk concepts to build new understanding of human-environment relationships. Her research is designed to build evidence for action. The majority of her activities can be described as convergence research on conservation issues such as wildlife trafficking, illegal logging, fishing and mining.

From 2006-2020, she was on the faculty at Michigan State University, where she helped develop the converge-based subdiscipline of conservation criminology.
