   personal_statement: EDUCATIONPh.D., Oceanography and Coastal Studies, Louisiana
     State University, 2008M.S., Biology, University of Southwestern Louisiana, 1988B.S.,
     Biology, University of Maryland College Park, 1985RESEARCHGreg's primary interest
     is developing ecological indicators, adaptive management approaches, and ecological
     and landscape models for use in natural resource decision support. For over
     30 years, he has worked for State and Federal governments developing monitoring,
     modeling and research programs for the evaluation of wetland restoration projects
     and programs.Greg has developed a comprehensive wetland monitoring network for
     the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) called
     the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (http://www.lacoast.gov/crms2/Home.aspx),
     that allows evaluation of the effects of restoration and protection efforts
     at project, hydrologic basin and coastwide scales.  Greg has also developed
     desktop ecological models for the Louisiana Coastal Area and Louisiana State
     Master Plan that project over 50 years how wetland vegetation communities and
     coastal geomorphology will change with and without restoration and protection
     efforts.  Greg is actively involved in working with USGS, DOI and other Gulf
     of Mexico scientists in developing foundational monitoring and adaptive management
     programs for the RESTORE Council and Natural Resources Damage Assessment and
     Restoration Trustee Council. His current research investigates the cumulative
     effects of multiple restoration projects on coastal landscape change and resilience.
