Dr. Ronald Foresta

With a joint doctorate in geography and regional planning, Ron Foresta brings the perspectives of both fields to the study of landscape management. He is recognized as an authority on the American national park system, and his recent research in Brazilian Amazonia put him in the middle of the rainforest clearing issue. He is currently studying the impact of civic vision on the contemporary American city. Foresta's teaching is primarily in biological conservation and urban geography, but he shares responsibility for the basic graduate course in research design and field methods.

Specialties: urban revitalization, Latin America
