Bob Aitken is a freelance research consultant,
lecturer, and writer. He trained at the
universities of Glasgow (MA Geography / Economic
History 1970) and Aberdeen
(PhD on 'Wilderness Areas in Scotland' 1977). He has extensive experience in
practical recreation resource management, especially in technical and amenity
issues on mountain trails, and has contributed to conferences and workshops in
the U.K., Australia, and the European
Alps. Bob's main interests now lie in the
sustainable management of recreation and tourism in mountain Parks
and Protected Areas at both strategic and site levels. He is a Board member of the Loch

Mrs.
Anderson is Managing Director of Penny Anderson Associates Ltd, an Ecological
Consultancy, based in the English Peak District. Penny was awarded an Honours
degree in Botany and Geography from the University of Southampton, England, and
then an MSc in Conservation from University College London, after which she
developed her consultancy work. Penny has been involved in recreation/ecology
issues in the Peak
District National
Park for over 20 years. She co-ordinated early
research into the effects of disturbance on birds on the blanket bogs and has
contributed to many debates on the significance of such disturbance. She has
prepared a number of recent reviews of the impacts of various aspects of
recreation ecology for English Nature on the effects of recreation on wide
aspects of ecology. Penny sees herself as the interpreter and presenter of
other people’s research to decision makers and land managers, rather than being
involved in much academic research herself.

Angela
Arthington is Professor of Freshwater Ecology and a program leader in the
Centre for Riverine Landscapes, Griffith
University. Over the past
20 years Angela has built up a team of ecologists working on the ecology and
management of lakes, wetlands and rivers. Angela has worked extensively on the
ecology of dune lakes and on the ecology and conservation of native and alien
freshwater fish in these dystrophic wetland systems, and the impacts of
recreation, particularly motorized boating.
She is also keenly interested in river management, especially the
allocation and monitoring of environmental flows, and has pioneered an ecosystem
approach to water allocation for the environment. These research programs are
funded principally by the Australian Cooperative Research Centres program, via
the eWater Rainforest Ecology and Management, and Sustainable Tourism CRCs.
Angela is an experienced consultant and speaker on aquatic ecosystem management
and conservation.

Michael
Campbell is an Associate Professor of Recreation Management and cross appointed
to Clayton R. Riddell faculty of Earth, Environment and Resources at the University of Manitoba
(Canada).
He has degrees in geography (B.A. and M.A., University
of Manitoba) and Environmental Studies
(PhD, University
of Waterloo). His
dissertation research focused upon the application of the earth sciences in the
planning and management of National Parks. His research has focused primarily
upon human impacts in parks and protected areas and the human dimensions of
wildlife. Most recently he has been involved in the development of an ecosite
classification of the province to define recreation habitats suitability
indices. He has developed
backcountry-monitoring programs for several parks and continues to assess
monitoring techniques for application in a variety of park environments.
Through his involvement with the Parks and Protected Areas Research Forum of
Manitoba, which he co-founded, he works to strengthen the relationship between
researchers and practitioners and ensure that the park management is based upon
sound research.

David
Cole has degrees in geography from the University
of California, Berkeley (B.A., 1972)
and University of
Oregon (Ph.D., 1977). He is
currently Research Geographer with the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research
Institute in Missoula, MT,
an institution overseen by the research branch of the United States’ Forest Service. He
has been doing research in recreation ecology since 1974. In 1978, he began
work with the Forest Service studying the ecological impacts of recreation in
wilderness areas. He has also worked with the United
States’ National Park Service and the National Outdoor
Leadership School.
His empirical work has been on impacts to vegetation and soil, particularly
from trampling, on campsites and on trails. He has also worked to develop
monitoring procedures, to synthesize recreation ecology research and to
identify consistent relationships and findings that might provide a conceptual
foundation for the field. The goal of his research remains management
application to improve stewardship of protected areas, particularly wilderness.

Gillian Dalrymple has a M.A. (Hons.) Geography degree
from the University of Glasgow and is currently completing work on her PhD (University of Glasgow, departments of Geography,
Biology and Economics). Her research interests
are resource management and the social and ecological impacts of outdoor
recreation. Gillian's work seeks to
analyse and synthesise both visitor perception of the environment and
recreation, and the actual capacity of the environment to meet visitor
demands. Gillian is particularly
interested in the Loch Lomond area, and her PhD research uses the Loch Lomond
and Trossachs National
Park (Scotland)
as a case study.

Gordon
Dickinson has Bsc. (Hons), 1967 and Ph.D. (1974) degrees in geography from the University of Glasgow. He is a Senior Lecturer in the
Department of Geographical and Earth Sciences in the University of Glasgow.
His current research interests relate to the assessment of recreational impacts
on water bodies and their shores. These include large lakes and rivers in U.K., continental Europe and South
America. Impact studies have been focussed on input into resource
management systems, and their interface with biological conservation. An
underpinning to this work has been efforts to understand better the way in
which different categories of recreationists interact, and how this is a
crucial dimension of recreation management.
