Curriculum Vitae:
B. S., 1968, Trinity College, CT
M. S., 1970, University of Washington
Ph.D., 1976, University of Washington
Courses:
NRM 303x - Environmental Ethics and Actions

Research Interests: Modeling hydrologic effects of land-use changes; the connections between microclimate, meso-climate and global climate change; the spatial dimension of sustained-yield and sustainability; the use of simulations for effective learning.
Current Research Programs:
1) Modeling the effects of timber harvest and landscape characteristics on stream flow,
2) Freezing and thawing of soils,
3) Planning and decision-making for forest management,
4) Simulation for effective learning
