Areas of Interest

    My recreation interests are in the area of leisure behavior and recreation resources management associated with public lands. Past research includes a variety of social science activities in National Park System and USDA Forest Service settings, including: park visitor perception studies addressing scenic beauty, crowding and resource impacts, development of visitor use monitoring systems to describe patterns and user characteristics, implementation and evaluation of continuing education programs for resource managers with outdoor recreation responsibilities; identification of leisure trend indicators and factors influencing trends; models to address recreational factors influencing trends, models to address recreational carrying capacity as well as help develop monitoring strategies to assess critical resource and social indicators, and development of strategies using GIS to aid social science monitoring efforts.
