Picture
Three themes run through Dr. Tonn's research and interests: 
•    Rigorous evaluation of low-income energy and other programs that promote equitable sustainable futures.
•    Convergence of science and technology on sustainable designs for community-based, energy, industrial, and other    
      systems. 
•    Very long-term perspectives of sustainability with explicit concern for the well-being of future generations.
These three themes are illustrated in recently published papers and reports on: the health benefits of low-income weatherization; obligations to future generations with respect to existential risks; and, a design for a sustainable suburban subdivision called Willow Pond. All told, Dr. Tonn has authored/co-authored over 300 publications. He is an Associate Editor for the journal Futures and is on the editorial board of Sustainability.
