Professor Greg Brown

Greg came to UniSA from Alaska (U.S.) where he was an Associate Professor in the Environmental Science Department at Alaska Pacific University. Greg held previous faculty positions at Southern Illinois University, University of Idaho, and Northern Arizona University. Greg is currently Professor of Natural Resource Management at Green Mountain College in Vermont, USA. Greg has conducted and published research in the areas of natural resource policy, the human dimensions of ecosytem management, and socio-economic assessment of rural communities. Greg’s current research involves the development of methods to expand public involvement by including spatial measures of landscape values and special places. Recent applications of the methodology include national forest planning, assessment of biological resources for marine conservation, coastal areas mapping, national scenic byway planning, and parks and open space planning.
