Marc Jeuland has joined Duke as assistant professor of public policy with a joint appointment at the Sanford School of Public Policy and the Duke Global Health Institute. Jeuland, a DGHI member, came to Duke in July from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he completed a doctoral degree in environmental management and policy and a master’s in environmental engineering.
He will be teaching PUBPOL 264S.16 Water Cooperation and Conflict, which focuses on conflict and cooperation in water resources, primarily with respect to transboundary water systems. The course will also explore the relationships between water resources, development, ecosystems and health.
Jeuland’s research interests include environmental health, water and sanitation, nonmarket valuation, the planning and management of trans-boundary water resources and the impacts and economics of climate change.
As a consultant to the World Bank since 2006, Jeuland has worked on projects involving economic modeling in the Ganges Basin in Asia, economic planning in the eastern Nile river basin, rural sanitation in Egypt, and wastewater reuse in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Jeuland was also a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali, West Africa, where he designed and monitored construction of a pilot wastewater treatment system and trained management personnel at the plant’s managing firm. In addition, Jeuland has coordinated fieldwork for a willingness-to-pay study of cholera vaccines in Mozambique, and worked on an evaluation of the sustainability and performance of rural water supply systems in Ghana and Bolivia.
