My primary focus is the integration of ecology with landscape design, planning and management. This includes adapting conceptual frameworks and analytical techniques of ecology toward design, as well as using the cultural knowledge and methods of landscape architecture to deepen our knowledge of how humans structure ecosystems.

Current
research interests include biodiversity protection, ecosystem management and ecological restoration.

In early 2001, I expect publication of a new book tentatively titled Ecological Thinking for Design and Planning Education co-edited by myself and Kristina Hill of the University of Washington, and based on The
1998 Shire Conference, From Theory to Practice, Teaching Ecology in Landscape Design and Planning Programs held in July,1998.

Announcing a new class for 2000-2001: LA 408/508
Fire as a Tool for Landscape Designers, Planners and Managers. This will be an intensive course in fire ecology the week before fall quarter with participation in a prescribed burn during the term.
