IV. RESEARCH

Program Statement

My research program has been focused on the planning and management of natural resources. Within this theme I have focused my efforts in two areas. My first area of research concentrates on visitor use in parks and protected areas and water-based settings. My work is applied yet theoretically grounded and seeks to understand the recreation user experience so it can be translated into usable knowledge. Given changes in technology, demographics, urbanization, and social trends, there are numerous factors that can impact people’s use of our natural environment. I have conducted various recreation user studies assessing their behaviors, motivations, attitudes, and values and worked with managers to connect this information to specific management strategies. This research on visitors has provided managers with relevant information that can be readily implemented into management plans and at the same time has added to the body of knowledge on the use of our parks and protected areas.

A second line of research directly tied to my central research focus is dedicated to public involvement. Individuals often form voluntary associations (formal and informal) so they can be recognized and engaged in natural resource decision-making processes. The relevance of these

4


stakeholders and their influence in the planning and management of parks and protected areas is an ever-present and complex issue for resource managers in national and international settings. Research projects I have been involved with have focused on the effectiveness of voluntary associations, motivations/barriers of participation, and their influence in policy development. As parks and protected areas experience increasing pressure in balancing visitation and development, managers are mandated to obtain input from stakeholders to ensure the sustainability of public resources. Public involvement can be a means and an end and both need to be explored from various perspectives.

My line of research is applied; hence, I publish in natural-resource related journals with that focus, e.g., Environmental Management, Journal of Park and Recreation Administration and Human Dimensions of Wildlife. When appropriate, I have published my work in more theoretical journals, e.g., Leisure Sciences. In the first half of my career, I was usually sole or lead author on the majority of my refereed journal articles in order to get my work out in the field and develop my reputation. Over the last decade, I have concentrated my efforts in mentoring my graduate students, so now their names often appear first and mine is second or even third. The goal for my graduate students is altruistic, helping them get published and developing a research niche.

Major Accomplishments

Texas A&M University

Funding to support my research program has been consistent and has come from several sources including federal, state and local agencies as well as nonprofit organizations and foundations. Total funding in my career with all PIs has been $3,193,961.00 of which $2,152,310.00 has been attributable to my research program. This funding by various sources totals almost 100 research projects. The $2.1 million that is attributable to my research program exceeds the average amount of funding ($1.5 million) for faculty seeking promotion to full professor at TAMU. This funding is a strong indication of my research being conducted effectively, and my expertise recognized by various agencies, organizations and managers nationwide. I have been sought to conduct research on visitor use studies and public involvement research by funding sources across the country on a consistent basis for the last twenty years.

While Director of the Center of Socioeconomic Research and Education (CSRE) (2006-2011) my research funding at the CSRE approached two million dollars ($1.8) studying natural resource-related issues at a state and national level. These funds have allowed me fund an average of six graduate students per year.

Given my focus on conducting research in the planning and management of natural resources, I have concentrated on two key areas: visitor use management and public involvement in parks and protected areas. I have published 38 peer-reviewed journal articles. Thirty-eight refereed publications exceeds the average number (35) for faculty

5


seeking promotion to full professor at TAMU. I have worked to mentor a cadre of graduate students and in my last 20 refereed articles 65% articles have been authored with my graduate students.

o In examining visitor use management, my work has explored outdoor recreation activities extensively on land and water-based settings. I have directed over 70 visitor use management studies in assessing the characteristics and behaviors of recreation participants and tied these results to resource management strategies. On an applied level, these studies have yielded 58 technical reports and 38 peer–reviewed journal articles. Some of these studies have also used secondary data in assisting resource managers in understanding how to plan for visitor needs. I have conducted this type of research for federal land managing agencies nationwide including the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, USDA Forest Service, U.S Army Corps of Engineers and state agencies, e.g., Texas Parks and Wildlife and local entities. Articles: 38, 34, 32, 31, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 15, 11, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3.

o Closely tied to effectively managing our parks and protected areas is public involvement. Public involvement in environmental planning can be done in a variety of ways, in informal grassroots coalitions or through more formalized voluntary associations. My research in this area has contributed to the understanding of individual levels of engagement, effectiveness of the public involvement process in planning as well as motivations to be part of the decision-making process. Whether it is through the analysis of the group participants, the collaborative process, individual benefits or the realized outcomes, my research has provided managers and stakeholders with valuable information impacting policy development and implementation for parks and protected areas. Articles: 37, 36, 35, 30, 19, 18, 17, 16, 14, 13, 12, 10.

I have presented or co-authored 125 papers at various conferences across the country as well as international symposia in Australia, Central America, Europe, and Canada.

I have written 58 research and technical reports for various federal and state agencies that have supported my research. These research findings have been incorporated into various plans for parks and other protected areas.

As Director of the CSRE and in conjunction with my staff, I was instrumental in

acquiring over 7 terabytes of data from Census data to National Park Service visitation data that was used to analyze trends and social/demographic forces that impact the use of our parks and protected areas. Access to these datasets was made available to the general public through our website. Presentations on secondary data use were conducted at various venues across the country.

Based on my expertise in studying the visitor experience, management issues, and public involvement, I have been asked to review papers for a dozen different journals and served on three editorial boards. I have been serving on the editorial board of Environmental Management for four years and serve as an Associate Editor for Leisure Sciences, one of our flagship journals. I served as Associate Editor on the Journal of Park and Recreation Administration (JPRA) for six years and have been a Guest Associate Editor for JPRA.

Served as an outside reviewer in a research capacity for various agencies to: examine all Research Centers and Institutes at the University of Texas at San Antonio; evaluate the National Park Service’s Visitor Services Project research program and data collection activities at the University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, and initiate a Social Science Research Program for the Valles Caldera National Trust for the Valles Caldera National Preserve (89,000 acres), Jemez Springs, New Mexico.

West Virginia University and Texas State University

My research contributions have been recognized through various awards: The David E. Samuel Award for Faculty Excellence; Outstanding Research Award, and Gamma Sigma Delta Junior Faculty of Merit Award at West Virginia University and Scholarly and Creative Award at Texas State University.

Role in Obtaining External and Internal Funding to Support my Research Program

The financial support I have been able to develop for my research program has been consistent over time and has come from several external sources including federal, state and local agencies as well as nonprofit organizations and foundations. This level of productivity demonstrates that my national reputation as a researcher is not limited to one agency or funding source. This funding has primarily come from the key federal agencies that manage our parks and protected areas including the National Park Service, USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and related agencies, e.g., the U.S. Geological Survey. I have also conducted research with the state land managing agencies including the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. Total funding in my career with all PIs has been in excess of three million dollars ($3,193,961.00) for which $2,152,310.00 has been attributable to my research program and supports a team of graduate students. I have been sought out by various agencies and organizations to conduct research on visitor use studies, public involvement and other natural resource-related issues on a regular basis for the last twenty years. This level of funding is a strong indication of my expertise being recognized for its quality. My work continues to be disseminated regularly to managers in the field and scholars in academia.

IV. TEACHING

Program Statement

The university environment is a venue where students not only learn about specific academic subjects but also about priorities, values and respect for each other which I feel should be incorporated into the classroom. The basis for my teaching is to provide students with the required skills they must have to understand, analyze, and solve key issues in our field. These skills whether they are based on key concepts, theories or current trends are critical at the undergraduate and graduate levels to prepare students for their professional careers. My current research, experience at two previous universities, and knowledge of the field enable me to guide students in helping them learn more about the general area in which I work, human interactions with the natural environment.

For undergraduate students, I help them learn key topics, while fostering critical thinking and writing skills. I feel “hands-on” experience is tantamount in working with undergraduates so I engage them outside the classroom as frequently as possible. Professional development is a necessary skill to promote and teach in order to help students find employment upon graduation. For graduate students, I work with them to understand the theoretical underpinnings of our field, providing research skills they need to conduct their own projects. I collaborate with them on teaching, grant writing and writing publications in order to give them the competitive skills they will need in management or as a future academic.

My current teaching load of six hours and in many years nine hours per academic year exceeds the course load expected of a faculty member with my current AgriLife Research and Teaching appointment. Given this teaching load, over the years my course evaluation scores have exceeded the RPTS average for graduate and undergraduate courses.



Co-PI with 22 other faculty on the Applied Biodiversity grant ($300,000) “Integrating Multidisciplinary Research and High Impact Learning into Undergraduate and Graduate Education”. This grant will allow both undergraduate and graduate students to obtain high impact learning experiences to conduct international research, interdisciplinary training, attend study abroad programs and build a community of scholars at TAMU.

My overall course evaluation scores have exceeded the RPTS average for graduate and

undergraduate courses.

Graduate Student Support

As soon as I came to TAMU, I identified potential funding sources for graduate students for various research projects. From 2006-2011, I was the Director of the Center for Socioeconomic Research and Education (CSRE). The CSRE was engaged in a variety of research projects funded from across the country including the National Park Service, USDA Forest Service as well as state agencies including Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Office of the Governor Economic Development and Tourism. We conducted research, teaching and extension focusing in the human dimensions of natural resources area. One main objective of the CSRE was to obtain and manage secondary datasets. This included Census data, park visitation data and GIS data and creating a library of over 7 terabytes of data for research projects, presentations, workshops, outreach, and teaching. Research activities provided funding for a team of graduate students who obtained experience in conducting research, data collection, project management, website management, and grant writing. As Director of the CSRE, we did a first-rate job of funding graduate students. My ability to fund graduate students has been consistent during my entire research program and continues.

Role in Obtaining External and Internal Funds to Support Teaching Enhancement

In 2014, I was Co-PI with 22 other faculty on the Applied Biodiversity grant ($300,000) “Integrating Multidisciplinary Research and High Impact Learning into Undergraduate and Graduate Education”. This grant will allow both undergraduate and graduate students to obtain high impact learning experiences to conduct international research, interdisciplinary training, attend study abroad programs and build a community of scholars at TAMU.

V. SERVICE

Program Statement

My philosophy on service centers on active engagement at various levels in order to interact best with our constituencies. Service is critical for faculty as a mechanism to bring their expertise and research to the field and the general public. The thrust of my service has been to integrate my research program and experience into selected aspects of the field of recreation and parks, in the university as well as local communities. My service to the public was exemplified as Director of the Center of Socioeconomic Research and Education (CSRE) at Texas A& M University. In the CSRE, we managed over seven terabytes of secondary data which was available to the public through our website. Our outreach on information on parks and protected areas, park visitation, and population statistics has been presented and published in several outlets, e.g., annual reports, national park and forest management plans and state comprehensive management plans. I feel service to the field is critical to maintaining the integrity of our discipline through journal appointments, article reviews and other committee work at the university level as well as at the community level through interaction with the general public and our professional organizations.

I have been connected regularly with academics, practitioners and agency managers throughout the country and beyond. My expertise has been shared with several professional organizations, and my involvement with these groups has been positive myself and the organization. Internationally, I was asked to participate with the Tourism Task Force for the IUCN World Commission of Protected Areas. I was involved with the Task Force for three years and continue to serve as a member of this international organization. One of my key roles was to obtain funding for a database that would standardize visitation to parks and protected areas worldwide. In the United States, I have served on the Advisory Board of American Trails for ten years, the premier trails organization in the United States. This relationship has allowed me to work with a diverse group of professionals at a state and national level. I served as Chair and Chair-Elect of the Recreation Working Group of the Society of American Foresters (SAF) for two years, one of the oldest and most influential natural resource organizations in the country. My involvement with SAF has added to increasing recognition of social science in forestry-related issues. The working groups help develop educational programs and promote issues focused on research and policy. I stay actively involved with several professional organizations attending their national

16


conferences and serving on ad-hoc committees, e.g., graduate student recruitment. On a statewide basis, I served on the Board of Directors for the Texas Recreation and Park Society for two years, the predominant organization for recreation and parks in Texas. I was on the Board of Directors of the Mon River Trails Conservancy in West Virginia for three years, a leading statewide trails/conservation organization. At the university level I have served on numerous committees throughout my career, chairing several key committees, e.g., Executive, Strategic Planning, Awards, averaging about four committees per year at TAMU and serving as chair on several of these committees.


Texas A&M University I have been actively involved as a reviewer with over a dozen different journals and

served on various editorial boards since arriving at Texas A&M and beforehand.

IV. SUMMARY

My research interests are focused on the planning and management of natural resources. I have explored two lines of research within this theme, visitor use management and public involvement. Funding to support my research program has come from several sources including federal, state and local agencies as well as nonprofit organizations and foundations. Total funding in my career with all PIs has been $3,193,961.00 of which $2,152,310.00 has been attributable to my research program. This funding includes 96 funded projects which is a strong

indication of my research being conducted successfully, and my expertise recognized by various agencies, organizations and managers nationwide. I have been sought to conduct research on visitor use studies and public involvement by funding agencies across the country on a consistent basis since I became as Assistant Professor.

My research has been disseminated in applied and scholarly journals, conferences nationwide and even internationally. I have published 38 refereed journal articles in top quality journals, produced 58 research and technical reports for various federal and state agencies and made 125 presentations, both nationally and internationally. The vast majority of these publications have been co-authored with graduate students. I have mentored 39 graduate students by chairing and serving on graduate committees and been able to consistently fund a cadre (n=64) of them throughout my academic career.

I have taught almost 20 different undergraduate and graduate courses to hundreds of students over the years; always receiving above the departmental average in course evaluations. My teaching has had a very positive impact on the education of undergraduate/graduate students, and been instrumental in helping them find positions across the country from public park and recreation agencies to university faculty positions. The assignments they have completed for my courses have brought considerable practical value to managers in local communities and agencies. I have also been actively engaged with students internationally through the Study Abroad program, co-teaching courses in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji.

In providing service to the profession and university, my national reputation and expertise has allowed me make a noteworthy impact to the field of recreation, and parks and tourism. I have reviewed manuscripts for 12 different journals and served on several journal editorial boards. My involvement with practitioners has been demonstrated by serving on boards with national and state organizations. I have been actively engaged as a member of many professional organizations, e.g., Society of American Foresters, International Association of Society and Natural Resources, American Trails, attending regularly and assisting in organizing conferences and meetings. I have served in leadership roles administratively in several university positions: Program Coordinator, Faculty Coordinator of Off-Campus Summer Programs, Associate Department Head and Director of a Research Center. My role as a productive and scholarly faculty member has been recognized by my colleagues through several research and teaching awards. My contribution to the field has been acknowledged and consistent over time, and I will continue to share my experience and knowledge with students, faculty, managers and communities in the future.
