Professor Roesler’s scholarship focuses on issues of environmental governance, land use regulation, and climate policy, often exploring issues at the intersection of environmental regulation and constitutional law. Her work has appeared in edited volumes and leading law journals such as the Georgetown Law Journal, the Florida Law Review, and the U.C. Davis Law Review. She is also a co-author of a property law casebook and co-editor of a volume entitled Adapting to High-Level Warming: Law, Governance, and Equity.
Prof. Roesler played an instrumental role in launching the UI’s Hubbell Environmental Law Initiative (HELI), which was funded with a $5 million donation from two UI Law alumni, the largest gift in the College of Law’s history. As HELI’s Faculty Director, Prof. Roesler supports high-impact programming and facilitates campus-wide dialogue on environmental issues, bringing together legal scholars, policymakers, scientists, and community partners. As an EHSRC Member, Prof. Roesler will facilitate new collaborations between the EHSRC and HELI, including cosponsored events, interdisciplinary environmental policy-science exchanges, and student engagement across law, environmental sciences, and public health.
