RESEARCH
MY RESEARCH FOCUSES ON TWO BROAD AND SYNERGISTIC QUESTIONS...
1) What factors influence human decision-making about natural resources?
A challenge exists in finding the balance among societal needs, individual preferences about natural resources, and desired environmental and social outcomes. Public involvement in environmental management decision-making is continuously increasing, as is public access to information about environmental issues. Therefore, stakeholder-driven initiatives for environmental and natural resources research and planning are slowly replacing historical top-down decision-making frameworks. Within these paradigm shifts, my goal is to better understand the role of human decisions and behaviors in development of natural resources management and policy.
2) What is the role of human dimensions in landscape-level patterns and processes?
Scientific disciplines contributing to the study of landscapes have evolved independently, and involve exclusive technical languages, metrics, and analysis tools. Consequently, many conventional landscape ecology metrics are not appropriate for evaluating spatial and temporal aspects of human dimensions. Therefore, there is a critical need for development of new tools and metrics to fully integrate human dimensions into the understanding of landscape dynamics. My goal is to use landscape-level analyses as a context to improve understanding and assessment of these dynamics.
ONGOING AND RECENT PROJECTS...
- Roadside tree and forest management to reduce power outages (Stormwise)
- Landscape ecology and management of urban forest patches
- User conflict at high-use outdoor recreation sites
- UConn Connecticut Trails Program
- Landscape evaluation for distributed energy resources (DERs)
- Sustaining community stewardship for environmental projects
- Land use and ownership change among amenity-laden rural landscapes
- Agrotourism workforce needs and consumer demographics
- Adaptive silviculture for changing climate in an exurban landscape
- Attitudes toward timber rattlesnakes
- Biodiversity and socioeconomic sustainability of rural forest-based communities
- Public perceptions of human-black bear interactions
- Winter weather whiplash
Papers are posted as they become available, and grouped into general themes that are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Applications of landscape ecology are integrated within all paper topics.
