    Research focus<\/h4>\n

    Tyler W. Cribbs\u2019 inter-disciplinary, collaborative science research links outdoor recreation, park planning, and resource management. His applied research supplies information to help park and protected area professionals and natural resource managers find a balance between ecological conservation\/preservation and visitor experience by characterize and evaluate human-nature interactions. These include a) park visitor behavior and thresholds of use, b) people\u2019s interactions with and attachments to coastal environments, and c) linkages within dynamic environmental-social systems. Tyler W. Cribbs\u2019 specializes in spatiotemporal research, specifically related to applied social science research in coastal protected areas. He often uses methods that transcend traditional concentration areas and degrees including, GPS tracking, GIS applications, location-based services data utilization, virtual reality experiences, and photo elicitation. His research incorporates student learning and addresses pertinent management needs in addition to unanswered academic and methodological questions.<\/p>\n
