Beyond Environmentalism: Envisioning a Sustainable and Desirable Future
Dr. Bryan Norton at the Georgia Institute of Technology writes on inter-generational equity, sustainability theory, bio-diversity policy and on valuation methods. His specialty is the integration of spatio-temporal scaling considerations into sustainability criteria. Besides duties as a Professor in the School of Public Policy, Dr. Norton is an Associated Scientist at Zoo Atlanta, and serves on the Institutional Panel reviewing research and its impact on animals at the Zoo. Recent research includes work on inter-generational impacts of policy choices (sponsored by US EPA), on endangered species policy, on sustainability theory, and on cultural aspects of environmental protection (sponsored by the Army Environmental Policy Institute). He has also done research on the socio-economic impacts of global climate change for the United States Forest Service Global Change Program, and several projects on bio-diversity policy sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
