Seth QuintusSeth Quintus is an archaeologist and associate professor in the Department of Anthropology. His research examines the recursive relationship between humans and their environments over long periods of time, especially in Oceania. He does this through the lens of environment management, agricultural economies, and political economies. In this work, he has partnered with local communities, Kamehameha Schools, and the National Park Service to better understand how past information on socioecological systems can contribute to better resource management today.
