Dr. Burns is currently an Associate Professor and Program Head of the Department of International Environmental Policy at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. He also serves as Co-Chair of the International Environmental Law Interest Group of the American Society of International Law and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of International Wildlife Law and Policy. His research interests in the context of the Arctic are in the potential impacts of climate change on Arctic species and ecosystems, and the potential impacts of energy exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Dr. Burns is an experienced speaker giving approximately 30–40 presentations each year. He is interested in speaking to academic audiences and the general public and is available to participate in the Arctic Visiting Speakers' Series throughout the year.

Representative lecture titles include:

• The impact of climate change on Arctic fauna and flora species
• Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: The case not made
• The impact of climate change on cetaceans in the Arctic and the potential responses of the International Whaling Commission
• The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment: Implications for the future of Arctic ecosystems

Dr. Burns hopes that his participation in the Arctic Visiting Speakers' Program will heighten public dialogue and interest in Arctic environmental issues and will stimulate student interest in pursuing careers in Arctic research.
