Kreg conducts research on various topics in social science aspects of natural resource management, community resilience, individual and community well-being, and tourism.  See his  page for publications.

He has recently completed research on marine protected areas in Oregon and nature tourism in Norway.  His current research focuses on understanding:

• Factors that facilitate landowner / homeowner actions to mitigate wildfire risk.
• Community wildfire resilience and attitudes toward wildfire.
• How values and attitudes affect preferences and choices in natural resource contexts.  This involves hybrid choice models, which integrate choice models and structural equation models.

When he's not teaching or researching, Kreg and his wife are outdoors -- working in the forest, recreating, or volunteering on trail projects.
