Dr. Martin is the 2015 recipient of the national award for Excellence in Wilderness Stewardship Research, awarded by the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service.

My research focuses on visitor use of recreation settings and managing recreational use of natural resource areas, particularly parks, wilderness areas and similar public lands.

Much of my research involves recreation visitor studies which aim to increase our understanding of:

• the nature of the outdoor recreation experience
• problems that detract from recreation visitor enjoyment
• how to enhance the experience of recreation visitors
• how recreational activities may impact resources
• how to minimize the impacts of recreation
• issues of visitor access to areas, and how to balance an area’s recreational use with protection of its resources
• the direct and indirect techniques used to manage recreation visitors
• the factors that influence people's participation in outdoor recreation
• changing recreation use patterns and trends

As such, my research is best characterized as “human dimensions of natural resources” and involves quite a bit of social science, though in a natural resources context.

My research engages intractable issues with entangled ethics that present decadal problems, humanized by the real struggles and triumphs of everyday life in a climate-changed world. My climate justice practice relies on ethnographic and empirical components that require long-term and sustained relationships with climate affected–communities.

The focus of my research from 2011–2019 was on climate displacement and planned community relocation. Past projects included: co-designing and building in-village relocation planning center with residents in Kivalina, Alaska; co-designing and building a human waste biorefinery; and producing a digital relocation archive of culturally curated content.

Currently, my research focuses on related climate justice themes: tribal sovereignty and offshore wind, and plausible futures for spent nuclear fuel sites exposed to climate and coastal hazards. I am also serving as a lead author for California’s 5th Climate Assessment North Coast Regional Report. For more on my latest research, see 44feetproject.com.
