Profile
\n<\/strong>Mark Anderson is an agricultural and resource economist and an emeritus faculty member at the University of Maine. His research areas include recreational and land use management, ecological economics, higher education assessment, and values in sustainability science. In 2008 he was awarded the Outstanding Teaching Award for the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture.<\/p>\n

Anderson\u2019s research with the Mitchell Center included understanding how underlying values affect individual and group responses to sustainability. He also studies how environmental education impacts the development of those values. Another aspect of Anderson\u2019s research is to transform the concept of sustainability beyond the Brundtland definition of \u201cdevelopment that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,\u201d to a more practical definition. This new concept could potentially provide an operational definition for sustainability.<\/p>\n

His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, Maine Department of Environmental Protection, Maine Water Resources Research Institute, Maine Forest Service, Sea Grant, Maine EPSCoR, and the Senator George J. Mitchell Center.<\/p>\n

Anderson has been published in several peer-reviewed journals including Ecological Economics, Sustainability Science, Sustainability, Environmental Education Research, Journal of General Education, Land Use Policy, Maine Policy Review, and Technological Forecasting and Social Change. He co-authored the book Life Extending Technologies: A Technology Assessment<\/i> with Theodore J. Gordon and Herbert Gerjuoy.<\/p>\n
