Consultant

Though consulting is only a minor part of my professional activity, I reserve some time to do so as a form of scholarly engagement. This involves a range of activities including:

forensic field research and expert witness testimony involving contested property boundaries
archaeological field work for CRM (cultural research management) projects;
property walk-overs to interpret land-use history based on field evidence
staff training for organizations devoted to landscape education/interpretation
engineering geologic concerns including slope stability, erosion-sedimentation, and hydrology.
