Research Interests:
Land use and natural resources law, landscape-scale conservation strategies and the relationship between public land and resource management efforts and private land conservation in western North America, growth management and rural land use planning, methods for incorporating environmental factors into infrastructure systems planning, and improving the economic efficiency of environmental law and regulation.
Achievements:
Duane teaches environmental planning and policy, infrastructure planning, environmental impacts of energy systems, land use planning, environmentally sustainable community development, and the impacts of urban development on fragile natural systems. He is particularly interested in how institutional structures can be modified to address competing social values. He is therefore studying law and legal institutions in greater detail, since they dominate decision-making in the modern administrative state. His primary institutional focus is domestic, but has also worked in or traveled in over thirty countries and has supervised graduate students in over a dozen other countries. He has published on a wide variety of topics from electricity regulation in California to community participation in ecosystems management.

Energy, Fantasy, and Form
Instructor:

Description:
This
is an undergraduate studio with a central focus on climate modification for
energy conservation. We will research historical precedents in order to
develop new garden forms for passive green designs. We will also explore how
past cultures integrated metaphysics into their gardens as an adjunct to
microclimate and habitat design. The contemporary landscape should be a
balanced interweaving of proportion, function, comfort, energy conservation,
and enlightenment. Additionally, we will study the choreography of space and
investigate how to animate the landscape through the creative interpretation
of text and film. Many new and exciting opportunities lie ahead for the
creation of garden forms that not only conserve energy, but are also works of
art and places of spiritual renewal.
