Who We Are:

We are a group of interdisciplinary scientists working on current visitor use management issues in parks and protected areas. Our research focuses on understanding the impacts of outdoor recreation on ecosystems (recreation ecology) and the human behaviors that lead to both social and ecological impacts. To learn more about who we are please visit our People page and to learn more about current projects in the lab please visit our Projects and Publications page. Current opportunities with our group will be listed under Opportunities.
