Daniel studied Environmental Biology and Management at U.C. Davis (B.Sc. 1992), and ecology at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel (M.Sc. 1996), where he investigated the impact of leaf litter on ecosystem flows in arid environments. Following the completion of his master’s research, he taught environmental studies at the Rothberg School for Overseas Studies at Hebrew University and at the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies. Daniel completed his Ph.D. at Brown University’s Center for Environmental Studies in 2006. While at Brown, Daniel initiated and co-coordinated the Middle East Environment Futures Project, bringing together 40 Middle Eastern and North American environmental scholars to develop an innovative, interdisciplinary and policy relevant environmental study of Israel and Palestine. He also co-founded a local Jewish environmental organization called the Rhode Island Jewish Environmental Alliance, which only lasted one year, but they put on an awesome Tu B’Shvat community Seder.
