Biography
Kreg conducts research on various topics in social science aspects of natural resources, community resilience, and individual and community well-being. See his Google Scholar page for publications.
Recent projects have focused on marine protected areas in Oregon and nature tourism in Norway. His current research focuses on understanding:
- Factors that facilitate landowner / homeowner actions to mitigate wildfire risk.
- Community wildfire resilience and attitudes toward wildfire.
- How values and attitudes affect preferences and choices. This involves hybrid choice models, which integrate choice models and structural equation models.
Kreg does not take on graduate students as the major professor (advisor), but he serves on committees for PhD students with other major professors.
When he's not teaching or researching, Kreg and his wife are outdoors -- working in the forest, recreating, or volunteering on trail projects.
