I have the distinction of being the world's only Professor of Psychology and Renewable Natural Resourses. My work in the area of envioronmental psychology focusses upon parks, wilderness and other natural areas.
My students and I apply classical psychophysical methods, psychometric models, computer visualization and survey techniques to determine how natural and human-designed changes in these environments affect the quality of experience for tourists, recreators and residents.
We have worked on actual environmental management problems in manyparts of the world, and the methods we have developed are widely used to address the "human dimensions" of environmental protection and natural resources management. This work also provides theoretical insights into more general issues of human environmental perception and preference.
A purely coincidental benefit of this line of work is that much of it must be done in world-class parks and natural areas, at the very times when people find them most attractive.
